Prerequisites to Start
Coding Skills:
Master Rust/Solidity for writing MEV bots and smart contracts.
Deep understanding of EVM/SVM virtual machines.
Math & Algorithms:
Graph theory to detect triangular arbitrage loops (e.g., ETH→DAI→USDC→ETH).
Dynamic programming to optimize transaction paths.
Infrastructure:
Self-hosted node servers physically close to blockchain validators (latency <5ms).
Avoid public RPCs (too slow for MEV competition).
Monitoring Tools:
Real-time mempool scanners (e.g., EigenPhi, Blocknative) to analyze pending transactions.
