Cyptocurrency Arbitrage Strategy on Solana

Client Background

The client is an NFT project on the Solana blockchain, boasting a collection of 777 unique NFTs. With a vibrant community of approximately 6000 members and an impressive trading volume of $250K, they are committed to incentivizing NFT holders and providing them with valuable benefits. In line with this vision, the client aims to grant exclusive access to an on-chain arbitrage service, empowering NFT holders to engage in profitable trades across Solana's thriving DeFi ecosystem.

Problem Statement

The client was in need of a skilled technical team to bring their project to life, although they possessed valuable insights into the world of arbitrage. Facing fierce competition from well-established players who had insider access to Solana's ecosystem, it became evident that a team of top-notch technical experts was crucial. Additionally, the inherent limitations of Solana's maximum transaction size prevented the possibility of arbitraging across more than two markets, making it clear that the most lucrative opportunities lay within this restriction.
