  • What is the role of gas prices in the bot's operations?

    -Gas prices are crucial for the bot's operations as they determine the transaction processing priority on the Ethereum network. By setting a higher gas price, the bot's transactions are processed before others, allowing it to successfully execute its front-running strategy.

  • How can one track the bot's performance and yields?

    -The bot's performance and yields can be tracked using tools like Etherscan. By monitoring the smart contract's balance and transaction history, users can assess the bot's profitability and make decisions accordingly.

  • What is the process for withdrawing funds from the bot?

    -To withdraw funds, the bot must first be stopped to ensure no active front-running is happening. Then, the 'withdraw' function is used to transfer the funds from the smart contract back to the owner's wallet. This process is executed within Remix Ethereum and confirmed via transaction on the Ethereum network.

  • How does the bot ensure it has no additional fees for the user?

    -Since the user is the owner of the bot, there are no additional fees involved in the transactions. All profits go directly to the user, and the bot operates solely on the gas costs required for transaction processing on the Ethereum network.
