Priority Gas Auction (PGA)
Strategic gas price bidding optimization for transaction ordering and maximum value extraction through competitive auction mechanisms.
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
// 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;
}
}
