const harvestCost = gasEstimate * gasPrice;
const expectedValue = pendingRewards.totalValue;
// Check if harvest is profitable
if (expectedValue <= harvestCost) {
return { shouldHarvest: false, reason: 'Cost exceeds value' };
}
// Check minimum harvest threshold
if (expectedValue < this.config.minHarvestValue) {
return { shouldHarvest: false, reason: 'Below minimum threshold' };
}
// Check compound interest benefits
const compoundBenefit = this.calculateCompoundBenefit(position, pendingRewards);
const totalBenefit = expectedValue + compoundBenefit;

harvestablePositions.push({
position,
...shouldHarvest
});
}
}
if (harvestablePositions.length === 0) {
return { harvested: false, reason: 'No profitable positions' };
}
// Sort by expected value/harvest cost ratio
harvestablePositions.sort((a, b) =>
(b.expectedValue / b.harvestCost) - (a.expectedValue / a.harvestCost)
);
// Execute batch harvest
const results = await this.executeBatchHarvest(harvestablePositions);
