Ethereum MEV Bot Engineering: Atomic DEX Arbitrage, Aave V3 Liquidations & Scam Bot Detection

Real Ethereum MEV bots—whether atomic DEX arbitrage contracts, JIT liquidity engines, or Aave V3 / Morpho Blue liquidation searchers—are built as custom Rust/Go mempool engines paired with gas-optimized Solidity/Yul executor contracts that pay 85%–98% of gross profit to block builders via block.coinbase.transfer. Meanwhile, thousands of developers lose ETH every month to fake YouTube "Remix IDE ChatGPT Solidity MEV bot" scams that hide obfuscated attacker payout addresses.

This technical reference from MEV DAO documents real searcher economics, custom MEV bot architecture, and open-source scam bytecode detection.

[X-Flashbots-Signature Auth]  ---> [eth_sendBundle -> Block Builders]

Key technical invariants to verify before broadcasting:

1. Simulate state transitions at block.number + 1 using eth_callBundle or a pinned Foundry anvil --fork-url environment before signing live bundles.
2. Compute effective bundle gas price (effectiveGasPrice) across all transactions in the bundle, including 0-gas sponsored victim transactions, and ensure it exceeds the target block's tail gas price.
3. Multi-builder fan-out: Submit time-sensitive bundles simultaneously to relay.flashbots.net, Titan Builder, Beaverbuild, and Rsync Builder so you don't miss slots built by non-Flashbots relays.
