Priority Gas Auction (PGA)

Strategic gas price bidding optimization for transaction ordering and maximum value extraction through competitive auction mechanisms.

Expected ROI 15-25%
Success Rate 78%
Avg. Execution Time 2.3s

Strategy Overview

Priority Gas Auction (PGA) is a sophisticated MEV strategy that leverages competitive gas price bidding to gain transaction ordering advantages. By strategically outbidding other transactions, our system secures optimal block positions for maximum value extraction.

Dynamic Gas Bidding

AI-powered gas price optimization based on network conditions and profit potential

Real-time Competition

Real-time analysis of competing transactions and optimal bid calculation

Risk Management

Built-in safeguards to prevent overbidding and ensure profitable execution

How PGA Strategy Works

The Priority Gas Auction strategy operates by analyzing pending transactions in the mempool, identifying profitable opportunities, and strategically bidding higher gas prices to secure optimal transaction ordering.

Strategy Components

Opportunity Detection

Continuously monitors the mempool for high-value transactions that can be front-run or optimized through strategic gas bidding.

Bid Calculation

Calculates optimal gas price bids based on profit potential, competition level, and expected value extraction.

Strategic Execution

Submits transactions with calculated gas prices to secure optimal block positioning and maximum value extraction.

Gas Bidding Logic

Our sophisticated gas bidding algorithm analyzes multiple factors to determine optimal gas price bids for maximum profit while minimizing competition costs.

Bidding Algorithm

Gas Bid Calculation
// PGA Gas Bidding Algorithm
class PGABiddingEngine {
    calculateOptimalBid(targetTransaction, marketData) {
        // 1. Analyze target transaction value
        const transactionValue = this.estimateTransactionValue(targetTransaction);
        
        // 2. Assess competition level
        const competitionLevel = this.assessCompetition(targetTransaction);
        
        // 3. Calculate minimum profitable bid
        const minBid = transactionValue * 0.1; // 10% of transaction value
        
        // 4. Determine optimal gas price
        const currentGasPrice = marketData.gasPrice;
        const bidMultiplier = this.getBidMultiplier(competitionLevel);
        
        // 5. Calculate final gas price
        const optimalGasPrice = currentGasPrice * bidMultiplier;
        
        // 6. Apply risk management constraints
        const maxBid = transactionValue * 0.25; // Max 25% of transaction value
        const finalGasPrice = Math.min(optimalGasPrice, maxBid);
        
        return {
            gasPrice: finalGasPrice,
            expectedProfit: transactionValue - (finalGasPrice * 21000),
            confidence: this.calculateConfidence(competitionLevel)
        };
    }
    
    getBidMultiplier(competitionLevel) {
        const multipliers = {
            'low': 1.2,    // 20% above market
            'medium': 1.5, // 50% above market
            'high': 2.0,   // 100% above market
            'extreme': 3.0 // 200% above market
        };
        return multipliers[competitionLevel] || 1.5;
    }
}
