DEX Ring Arbitrage

How It Works

Across multiple DEXs (e.g. Raydium→Orca→Jupiter on Solana), exploit quote differences between liquidity pools in a ring trade. Same principle as triangular but on-chain across DEXs, requiring atomic execution (all legs succeed or all revert).

Suitable Platforms

Suitable chains: Solana (Jupiter aggregator API for price comparison), Base (Aerodrome/Uniswap). Requires on-chain programming skills and flash loan / atomic tx implementation.

Risk Level

Risk: Medium. Intense MEV competition (many Jito searchers), profits decay fast despite low gas. Needs fast execution and low-latency RPC.

Common Pitfalls

• ⚠Jito competition: too many pro searchers on Solana, hard for retail
• ⚠Atomicity requirement: multi-leg must be atomic, partial success = loss
• ⚠RPC latency: public RPCs too slow, need paid dedicated RPCs (e.g. Helius)
