Key Configuration Sections Explained

Connection Settings

  • rpc_url: Your Solana RPC endpoint for data fetching

  • grpc_url: GRPC endpoint for streaming transactions (Yellowstone or Thor)

  • mode: Choose which bot configs to generate

Program Filtering

  • filter_programs = true: Only analyze transactions from specified programs

  • arb_programs: List of arbitrage programs to monitor

Filter Thresholds

Define minimum requirements for mints to be included:

  • min_profit: Minimum profit in lamports (1 SOL = 1,000,000,000 lamports)

  • min_roi: Minimum return on investment ratio

  • min_txns: Minimum successful arbitrage transactions seen

  • min_liquidity: Minimum liquidity in pools

Execution Strategies

  • Spam: Regular priority fee transactions

  • Jito: Bundle transactions with tips

  • Additional strategies available: fast, astralane, nextblock, node1, blockrazor

Tips for New Users

  1. Start Conservative: Begin with higher filter thresholds to focus on proven opportunities

  2. Monitor Performance: Use log_output = true to see detailed analysis

  3. Adjust Gradually: Lower thresholds as you understand market behavior

  4. Test First: Run with small positions before scaling up
