Finding Arbitrage Opportunities
Overview
Detect and analyze arbitrage opportunities across cryptocurrency exchanges and DeFi protocols. Aggregates prices from CEX and DEX sources, calculates net profit after fees, and identifies direct, triangular, and cross-chain arbitrage paths.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ with
httpx, rich, and networkx packages
- Internet access for API calls (no API keys required for basic use)
- Optional: Exchange API keys for real-time order book access
- Understanding of arbitrage concepts and trading fees
Instructions
-
Quick spread scan on a specific pair:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/arb_finder.py scan ETH USDC
Shows current prices per exchange, spread %, estimated profit after fees, and recommended action.
-
Multi-exchange comparison across specific exchanges:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/arb_finder.py scan ETH USDC \
--exchanges binance,coinbase,kraken,kucoin,okx
-
DEX price comparison across decentralized exchanges:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/arb_finder.py scan ETH USDC --dex-only
Compares Uniswap V3, SushiSwap, Curve, Balancer with gas cost estimates.
-
Triangular arbitrage discovery within a single exchange:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/arb_finder.py triangular binance --min-profit 0.5
-
Cross-chain opportunities across different blockchains:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/arb_finder.py cross-chain USDC \
--chains ethereum,polygon,arbitrum
-
Real-time monitoring with threshold alerts:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/arb_finder.py monitor ETH USDC \
--threshold 0.5 --interval 5
-
Export opportunities for bot integration:
python /scripts/arb_finder.py scan ETH USDC --output json > opportunities.json
