On-chain Arbitrage Radar

A read-only arbitrage research plugin for DeepSeek Harness. It reads public market data, turns it into cost-adjusted numbers, and refuses to pretend that a screen spread is a trade.

It never holds keys, never signs, and never places an order.

What it gives you

Tool · What it answers arb_spread_scan · Is there a live Gate ↔ Bitfinex spot spread, and what is left after both taker fees, further slippage, conversion and depth? arb_cost_model · Given a gross spread and explicit costs, what is the net profit, break-even spread and minimum effective size? arb_guard_check · Does the plan respect the loss cap, leverage cap, minimum edge, quote age and observed-data rule? arb_funding_scan · Which perpetuals pay the most annualized funding, and which of those are thin, crowded or delisting? arb_stock_clock · How far is a Gate tokenized stock from its underlying reference, and is the US session open? arb_research · What does the research method say about this structure? arb_records · What did this Host process scan and reject recently?

A compact radar strip below the composer shows the latest spread, funding and tokenized-stock numbers and can trigger one spread scan.

Data sources

All calls are public and keyless:

• Gate.io — spot tickers, USD and USDT markets, USDT perpetual funding.
• Bitfinex — public spot ticker (USD).
• Hyperliquid — perpetual contexts and funding history.
• DeFiLlama coins — USDT/USD rate when a Gate market is USDT-quoted while

Bitfinex quotes USD.

The Host process must be able to reach these hosts. On a restricted network a source simply reports unavailable; the remaining sources still answer.

Install

dsh plugin install https://github.com/gpteth/dsh-onchain-arbitrage-radar

A local checkout works too: dsh plugin install /absolute/path/to/dsh-onchain-arbitrage-radar. In the running Harness, install it from Settings → Plugins (or have the agent call plugin_manager → install_bundle), then check the plugin appears in Settings → Plugins. The row is inserted by cordis.patch.yml; the browser strip is discovered from the package's dsh.client manifest and ./client export.

Configure

Every field is optional; defaults live in src/settings.js. Edit the row config in cordis.patch.yml or the profile patch:

- id: arbitrage-radar
  config:
    thresholds:
      goBps: 40              # net bps needed for a "go"
      maxQuoteAgeSeconds: 20 # older Bitfinex quotes are rejected
      stockDeviationBps: 150
      minOiUsd: 1000000      # Hyperliquid open interest floor
      minDayVolumeUsd: 500000
      fundingWatchPct: 30    # annualized funding that gets a flag
    venues:
      gate: { takerBps: 20 }
      bitfinex: { takerBps: 20 }
    scan:
      symbols: [BTC, ETH, SOL]
      sizeQuote: 1000
      slippageBps: 5
    funding:
      venues: [gate, hyperliquid]
      top: 15
      historyPoints: 60
      historyCandidates: 3
    stocks:
      tokens: [NVDAX, TSLAX, COINX]
    transfer:
      conversionBufferBps: 5
      usdtFallbackBufferBps: 15
    risk:
      maxLossFraction: 0.02
      maxLeverage: 1
      minNetBps: 30
      maxQuoteAgeSeconds: 60
    panel:
      path: /arb-radar
      enabled: true
      throttleMs: 5000
    requestTimeoutMs: 8000
    maxRecords: 200

Unusable values fall back to their defaults and are logged; they never stop the plugin from activating.

Panel route

The strip reads and writes two same-origin JSON routes on the Host web server:

• GET /arb-radar/summary — latest scan/funding/stock snapshots and journal counts.
• POST /arb-radar/scan — run one spread scan with the configured defaults.
• GET /arb-radar/health — liveness and journal counts.

Scans are throttled, cross-origin requests are refused, and only public market data plus process-local records are returned.

What version 1 does not do

• No wallets, signing, orders, transfers, keys or credentials.
• No DEX/AMM pool quotes: the cross-venue scope is Gate ↔ Bitfinex. The

on-chain angle is the tokenized-stock clock and the funding/basis work.

• No full order book: depth is top-of-book only, and Bitfinex's public ticker

exposes no size at all.

• No server timestamp on Gate spot tickers; the fetch time is recorded instead.
• No US holiday calendar or early-close modeling.
• No durable journal: records last for the Host process. The session log is the

authoritative record.

• No P&L claim. A go verdict is a scenario for review, not a fill.

Research basis

The method — net edge over gross spread, minimum effective size, funding as insurance rather than rent, the tokenized-stock clock, evidence and risk gates — was informed by the public study vault at . That repository carries no license, so this plugin is an original implementation: no code, notes or scripts were copied, and none of its files are executed. Its market data is read live from the venues listed above.

Develop and verify

node --test test/*.test.js     # pure logic, stubbed sources, route, client module
node scripts/live-check.mjs    # real public endpoints; prints a compact summary

The tests cover the arithmetic, spread verdicts (including stale quotes, thin depth and USDT conversion), funding flags, the US session clock, reference matching, the HTTP route and the browser module's registration. Live behavior depends on the network described above.
