Telegram-Controlled Crypto Arbitrage Bot

Telegram Arbitrage Bot — Project Specifications & Requirements

General Specifications :
- Telegram Control & Monitoring:
= The bot must be fully controllable via Telegram commands and/or a user-friendly menu interface.
= All significant events and errors should be reported in real-time to a designated Telegram chat, serving as the primary monitoring UI.
= Notification & Alert System:
* Optional integration for email or SMS alerts, in addition to Telegram, for critical errors or important events.

- User Management & Access Control:
= Supports multiple users with role-based access control.
= Only one designated Admin user has full command access and advanced privileges.
= Rate Limiting & Anti-Spam:
* Implement mechanisms to prevent abuse of bot commands or spamming by users.

- Deployment & Containerization:
= The bot must be designed to run seamlessly within a Docker Compose environment.

- Documentation & Code Quality:
= The source code must be thoroughly commented for readability and maintainability.
= Provide a comprehensive README file detailing installation, setup, deployment, usage, and all available features.

- Technology Stack:
= Implementation must be in either TypeScript or Python (specify preferred language if necessary).
= Use PostgreSQL as the database if persistent storage is required.
= Adhere to best practices in error handling, logging (to log files), and environment variable management using .env files for secrets and sensitive data.

- Security:
= Ensure secure storage and handling of private keys, secrets, and API credentials.
= Implement input validation and security best practices throughout the codebase.

- Upgradeability:
= Design the architecture to allow for future feature additions, such as support for new blockchains or advanced arbitrage strategies.

Technical Requirements:
- Blockchain Compatibility:
= The bot must support EVM-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Polygon.
= Users should be able to switch between these supported networks dynamically.

- Smart Contract Integration:
= Swapping and arbitrage operations must be executed via smart contracts.
= All arbitrage operations should be atomic (executed as a single, indivisible transaction).
= Implement slippage and fee calculations, and allow these (and other essential parameters) to be configured by the admin.
= Utilize OpenZeppelin libraries for smart contract best practices and security.

- Development Standards:
= Provide a Hardhat configuration for running the bot in both test mode (testnets) and live mode (mainnets).
= Testing & Simulation:
* Include thorough test coverage for all smart contract and backend logic.
* Provide the ability to simulate arbitrage scenarios before live execution.

- DEX & Token Management:
= Maintain a flexible and easily editable repository (database/table) for DEX addresses, token addresses, and symbols.
= Provide an admin dashboard (web-based) for adding, viewing, and editing DEX/token information.

- Performance & Monitoring:
= Include tools or endpoints for health checks and performance monitoring of the bot (for example, uptime checks, latency reporting, error rates).
