New method detects arbitrage by standardizing transaction structures

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel method for detecting arbitrage opportunities in financial transactions by transforming execution traces into a canonical structural form. This system, mechanized in Rocq, uses a decidable structural equivalence on fund flows to identify arbitrage cycles without relying on protocol-specific patterns. The approach has been evaluated against existing platforms like Eigenphi and ArbiNet, demonstrating a high agreement rate and surfacing numerous exclusive detections. AI

    If It Walks Like an Arbitrage: Protocol-Agnostic Detection with Decidable Structural Equivalence

    arXiv:2608.20377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ethereum transactions admit a canonical structural form. Each execution trace is built into an abstract syntax tree of token transfers grouped by call-frame nesting and reduced by a convergent term rewriting system of 15 rules to …
