What's Smart Arbitrage bot and how do I use it?

What's Smart arbitrage bot?

A Smart arbitrage strategy is a crafted strategy to protect against market price fluctuations. The cornerstone of this approach is the Delta-neutral strategy, which involves holding equal and opposite positions in both the spot market and the perpetual swap market. This balanced approach ensures that price movements in either direction are neutralized.

In practice, this strategy entails purchasing a crypto in the spot market (going long) while simultaneously selling the equivalent amount in the perpetual swap market (going short). This dual positioning can effectively cancel out potential gains or losses from price swings, thereby significantly mitigating risk. The primary profit is derived from collecting funding fees during the holding period, particularly when the funding rate is positive.

With the enhancement to its functionality, accessibility, and overall user experience, the bot will continue to automate profit generation through funding fee differentials, while the updated version will be designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly. This makes it a great tool for traders of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals.

Why should I use Smart arbitrage bot?

• Delta-neutral strategy:

  • Reduces risks associated with market fluctuations.

  • Minimizes the impact of price changes on trading positions.

  • Focuses on earning from funding fee differences rather than relying on market direction.

• Risk management:

  • Keeps a delta-neutral position, enhancing stability in volatile markets.

  • Allows traders to manage risks effectively while pursuing higher returns.

• Maximize potential for market opportunities:

  • Designed for traders aiming to maximize profits in the crypto market.

  • Highly competitive in bearish or sideways markets, often outperforming traditional investments like Simple Earn. This is due to lower demand for USDT loans and reduced funding rates, which allow for higher returns through the strategic exploitation of funding fee differences.

How do I stake with Smart Arbitrage?

What's staking?

Staking crypto is the process of locking up your cryptocurrency in a blockchain network to help support the operation and security of that network — and in return, you earn rewards.Rewards from staking often come in the form of more of the same crypto, earned over time based on your contribution to the network. These rewards accumulate gradually while your assets remain staked. With Smart Arbitrage, you can stake in Ethereum or Solana:

• Staking on Ethereum: when you stake ETH by delegating it to validators on the Ethereum network, you’ll receive an equivalent amount of BETH, which automatically starts earning daily BETH rewards and the details are as below:

  • Rewards begin the next day after subscription.

  • If you subscribe after 16:00 UTC, your first reward will arrive in 2 days.

  • Rewards are distributed daily and credited to your strategy account.

• Staking on Solana: by staking SOL and delegating it to validators on the Solana network, you'll receive OKSOL, which earns additional OKSOL rewards and the details are as below:

  • Subscriptions made before 03:00 UTC go on-chain the same day.

  • Subscriptions made after 03:00 UTC go on-chain the next day.

  • Rewards are distributed every 3 days.
