Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before diving into arbitrage with Arb.fun, you'll need to prepare a few essentials. First, ensure you have a Solana-compatible wallet. We recommend Phantom for its ease of use, though Solflare and Backpack are also fully supported. You'll need at least 0.1 SOL for transaction fees.

For the upcoming beta access, holding 10,000 $ARB tokens will be required. This ensures our early users are committed to the ecosystem and helps us manage platform capacity during the initial rollout. Once we move to public launch, a free tier will be available with optional premium features for token holders.

Exchange accounts are crucial for arbitrage execution. While you can start with just two exchanges, having accounts on multiple venues increases your opportunity set significantly. We recommend starting with major exchanges like Binance and OKX for centralized trading, plus direct wallet connections for Raydium and Orca on Solana.

Platform Access Flow

When the platform launches, connecting is straightforward. Visit app.arb.fun and click the connect wallet button. Sign the authentication message with your wallet - this proves ownership without exposing your private keys. Your wallet address becomes your identity on the platform, with all trading history and rewards tied to this address.

The "Sign in coming soon" message you currently see reflects our commitment to security. We're implementing robust authentication systems that protect user funds while maintaining the permissionless ethos of DeFi. No email required, no personal information collected, just cryptographic proof of wallet ownership.

Beta testing opens first to $ARB holders. This phased approach allows us to scale infrastructure gradually while gathering feedback from our most engaged users. Beta testers receive lifetime benefits including reduced fees, early feature access, and direct input on platform development.

Understanding the Interface

The Arb.fun dashboard is designed for clarity and speed. At a glance, you'll see live arbitrage opportunities, your portfolio performance, and active positions. We've eliminated unnecessary complexity while providing all the data serious traders need.

The opportunity scanner shows real-time spreads across all monitored exchanges. Each opportunity displays the token pair, buy venue, sell venue, spread percentage, and estimated profit after all fees. Color coding indicates opportunity quality - green for high confidence, yellow for moderate, red for risky.

Your performance metrics update in real-time. Track your win rate, total profit, and average return per trade. Export this data anytime for tax reporting or deeper analysis. We believe in complete transparency - every trade, fee, and outcome is recorded on-chain.
