## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine to detect price discrepancies between Ethereum L1 and various Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. By using tools like `get_arbitrage_signal`, agents can calculate the spread, evaluate liquidity constraints, and determine net profit after accounting for bridge fees, gas costs, and slippage. The engine supports multiple modes including direct bridging, third-party protocols, and DEX-based execution, ensuring all trades meet strict safety margins and liquidity requirements.

## Tools

### analyze_market_spread
Identify potential arbitrage opportunities by calculating the spread between an L1 and an L2

### calculate_arbitrage_profit
Determine the financial viability of a specific arbitrage path

### evaluate_risk_and_timing
Assess the risk profile of a trade based on time-to-settlement and liquidity

### get_arbitrage_signal
Provide a complete, actionable signal for a specific chain pair and mode

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Find an arbitrage opportunity between ETH and Arbitrum with a $10,000 position size.
```

**Response:** 
```
The identified pair is ETH-ARB with a 2.5% spread. After accounting for a $50 bridge fee and $20 gas, the net profit for a $10,000 position is $230. The estimated bridge time is 4 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a profitable trade between Ethereum and Optimism right now?
```

**Response:** 
```
No viable arbitrage signals were found. The current spread is below the 2% safety threshold.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the profit for a direct bridge arbitrage on Base with $50,000 capital.
```

**Response:** 
```
The net profit for the Base arbitrage is $950, with a total capital requirement of $50,000 and a bridge time of 7 days.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the minimum spread required for a trade?**
The strategy requires a minimum spread of 2% to ensure a sufficient safety margin against volatility.

**How does the tool handle liquidity risks?**
The `analyze_market_spread` tool checks that token liquidity is greater than $5,000,000 on both chains before validating an opportunity.

**Can I use third-party bridges?**
Yes, the engine supports 'third_party' mode for faster settlement using protocols like Hop or Across.
