Product guides - Arbitrage dashboard

Arbitrage dashboard

A live, three-panel board of cross-venue price gaps: current opportunities, newly opened gaps, and sudden single-venue price spikes.

The arbitrage dashboard lives at /arbitrage. You do not need an account to open it: if no session exists, the app signs you in as a guest automatically and serves the public data feed. A Pro account unlocks editable thresholds, venue and chain filters, contract addresses, and a faster refresh cadence. The differences are summarized in Free vs Pro on this screen.

The view is built from three independent panels:

Responsive layout

How many panels you see at once depends on the window width. Nothing is lost at smaller sizes; panels move behind tabs.

Data feed and refresh cadence

Every panel reads from server-built snapshots, not from raw exchange streams. The backend assembles a consistent snapshot of opportunities and spikes, releases it, and the dashboard polls for the latest release. This is why all numbers on screen move together rather than ticking independently.

On top of the network refetch, the dashboard runs a local clock that re-evaluates time-based labels (detection ages, the NEW window classification, funding countdowns) every 10 seconds while the Arbitrage view is active, and every 60 seconds while you are on another view.

The unseen badge on the toolbar

While you are on another view, the Arbitrage tab in the top toolbar shows a numeric badge: the count of New Entries detected plus Price Spikes updated since you last looked at the dashboard. The moment you leave the Arbitrage view, the app records a last-seen timestamp in your browser and resets the badge to zero, so the badge always means "things that happened while you were away". The narrow-layout panel tabs (New Entries, Price Spikes) carry the same per-panel counts.

Status banners and error states

The Arbitrage Opportunities panel

This is the main book. Each row is an asset with its best current buy venue and sell venue; alternates for the same asset are folded underneath. The panel header tells you how the book is filtered before you read a single row.

Header anatomy

Arbitrage Opportunities title and count line

Under the title sits a count line in the form >=5% (3) | List 24. The percentage is the server-side high-spread threshold (the server sends it with every snapshot; it defaults to 5%). The number in parentheses is how many assets currently sit at or above that threshold. List is the number of asset groups currently displayed after all filters.

Min percentage input

The minimum spread an opportunity must show to appear in the list, labeled Min with a % suffix (accessible name Arbitrage Min %, step 0.1). It exists so you can cut low-spread noise without touching any other filter. For Pro accounts the floor is 0, so you can show everything. For guest and Free sessions the field is read-only and pinned at 0.1%; clicking it raises the Pro upgrade toast described in Sidebar filters.

{N} hidden control

Appears once you have hidden at least one asset with the eye button. Clicking it switches the panel into a review mode listing only your hidden assets, with Unhide all and Keep buttons. Full behavior, including Telegram sync, is covered in Hiding assets.

Collapse button (mobile)

On small screens the panel exposes a Collapse button (accessible name Collapse list) to fold the list out of the way.

Category tabs and subtabs

Filtering is layered: a category, then a subtab inside the category, then in one case a sub-subtab. The default category is Spot.

The two Korean-market subtypes have exact definitions, derived from which legs sit on a Korean exchange (Upbit or Bithumb):

The Bridge filter

Bridge filter: All / Exec Route

All shows every row. Exec Route keeps only opportunities that are executable from a routing standpoint: either no bridge is needed (both legs reachable on the same chain or via deposit/withdraw), or a live bridge route exists between the chains involved. Rows that would require a bridge hop with no known live route are filtered out.

Perp rows are exempt from this filter. Perpetual positions are margin-based, so no token has to physically move across chains for the position to be opened; bridging is irrelevant to them.

The Bridge filter is shared between the Opportunities panel and the New Entries panel: changing it in one changes it in the other. The category and subtab selections, by contrast, are independent per panel.

Grouping, sorting, and pagination

Asset grouping with +{N} more / Hide {N}

Rows are sorted by spread, highest first, then grouped by asset. The best row for each asset is shown as the primary card; the remaining venue pairings for the same asset collapse behind a +{N} more button. Expanding shows them with Alt 1, Alt 2 badges, and the button flips to Hide {N}. Alternates whose spread falls below the primary spread of the 10th-ranked asset group are trimmed from the expansion, which keeps the long tail from burying the list.

Show 10 more / Collapse pagination

The panel starts with the top 10 asset groups. Show 10 more appends the next 10 and a meta counter shows {visible} / {total}. Once everything is expanded the button becomes Collapse. Changing any filter resets the list back to the first 10.

Empty state

When nothing passes the filters you see the title No Opportunities with the description No routable positive-spread opportunities in the current snapshot (or No Spot opportunities in the current snapshot / No Perp opportunities in the current snapshot when a category is selected) and the hint auto-refreshes every 30s.

Opportunity card anatomy

Every element on a card carries meaning. This section walks the card top to bottom: the header row, the badge set, the two route legs, and the perp metadata row.

Header row

Asset symbol link

The asset symbol is a real link to /graph?asset={id}. Clicking it switches to the Graph view and opens that asset's Token Flow overlay, where you can see every chain, CEX, DEX, and bridge route the asset touches. Use it to sanity-check transfer paths before acting on a spread.

Type badge

Shown only while the subtab is All, since otherwise the tab itself already tells you the type: CEX-DEX, CEX-CEX, DEX-DEX, Perp-Spot, or Perp-Perp.

Chain route

Shows the buy-side chain, an arrow, and the sell-side chain. If both legs are on the same chain only one chain is shown. When a leg spans multiple chains, the first chain is shown with a +{N} button that expands the full list; less collapses it again. If no chain is known the slot shows an unknown tag.

Spread number

Right-aligned, formatted as +{X.XX}%. It renders green when the spread is at or above the server high-spread threshold (default 5%) and yellow below it.

Eye button

Hides the whole asset from the panel. Tooltip Hide this asset, or Unhide this asset when reviewing the hidden list. See Hiding assets for what this actually stores and syncs.

Badge reference

Route legs: Buy and Sell

Each card carries two legs. The buy leg has a green dot and the header Buy · {VENUE}; the sell leg has a red dot and Sell · {VENUE}. DEX legs append the chain, for example chain: eth.

Leg price

Each leg shows its quoted price, green on the buy side and red on the sell side. In the New Entries panel the same leg shows two prices with an arrow: the price at detection, then the current price.

FALLBACK badge and reason: {fallback_reason}

If a leg's quote came from a fallback path the leg carries the FALLBACK badge. Pro accounts see an extra line, reason: followed by the machine reason string, so you can judge how much to trust the number. Public responses do not include the reason field.

token and pool address rows (Pro)

On DEX legs, Pro accounts get a token row with the chain-specific contract identifier and a pool row with the pool id. Values longer than 16 characters display as the first 8 characters, an ellipsis, and the last 6; the tooltip holds the full value. Clicking copies the full string to the clipboard, and the copy glyph flips to a checkmark for about 1.2 seconds to confirm.

Locked address row (guest / Free)

Without Pro, the token row renders as the masked placeholder 0x•••••••• with a lock icon. Tooltip: Upgrade to Pro to view contract addresses. Clicking it raises the Pro toast with the label contract address. The masking is enforced server-side: public API responses simply do not contain the identifiers, so the lock is not hiding data that is present in your browser.

Perp metadata row

Cards of type Perp-Spot and Perp-Perp carry an extra row of funding and open-interest data, because for perps the funding rate is part of the economics of holding the position.

Fund ({N}h) funding rate and countdown

The funding rate of the perp leg, shown to 4 decimal places, with the funding interval in hours in parentheses. Positive rates render green, negative rates red. After a / separator, a live countdown in HH:MM:SS shows time remaining until the next funding event.

Fund(L) / Fund(S) (Perp-Perp only)

Perp-Perp cards show two funding entries: Fund(L) for the long leg and Fund(S) for the short leg, each with its own rate and countdown.

OI open interest

Open interest of the perp market, abbreviated in dollars (for example $1.2M or $340K). Perp-Perp cards show both markets as lo / hi. Low open interest is your cue that the market may not absorb size.

Blocked reason

When the system's own execution viability check fails for the perp pairing, the card displays the blocking reason as plain text. The viability flag is a premium-scoped field, so this readout is part of the Pro response.

The New Entries panel

New Entries answers a different question than the main book: not "what spreads exist", but "what spreads just appeared". An opportunity qualifies when the server flags it as a new entry and its recorded entry time is inside the server's new-entry window, which defaults to about 1 hour. Rows are sorted by detection time, newest first. Fresh gaps matter because the earliest minutes of a gap are when it is least likely to have been arbitraged away already.

Header and filters

New Entries title and count line

The count line reads {N} asset(s) | {M} pair(s): how many distinct assets and how many buy/sell pairs are currently inside the window and passing your filters.

Min percentage input

Minimum spread for a new entry to appear (accessible name New Gaps Min %, step 0.5). Pro accounts can set it down to the 1% floor. Guest and Free sessions see it read-only, pinned at 5%.

Filter set

The panel has its own copy of the category tabs, Spot/Perp subtabs, and the Kimchi Premium / KR Premium subtabs, independent from the Opportunities panel. Only the Bridge filter (All / Exec Route) is shared between the two panels.

Empty state

Monitoring for new gaps... means the feed is healthy but nothing inside the window passes your filters.

What a New Entry card adds

Detection age

Each card shows how long ago the gap was detected: just now, then {N}s ago, {N}m ago, {N}h ago. Cards detected within the last 5 minutes get a green highlight border, so the freshest gaps stand out at a glance.

Entry spread versus current spread

The spread is shown as a pair with an arrow, for example +5.20% → +7.10%: the spread at detection (tooltip Spread at detection) and the live spread now. If they differ by at least 5 basis points a delta chip appears, green with a + when the gap widened and red when it narrowed. A widening gap can mean the move is still developing; a collapsing gap usually means it is being closed.

Entry price versus current price per leg

The route legs render in entry-price mode: each leg shows the price at detection, an arrow, and the current price, so you can see which side of the gap moved.

Everything else

Asset link, type badge, chain route, Bridge / Need bridge / Diff contract badges, +{N} more grouping, address rows and locks, and the eye button behave exactly as described in Card anatomy.

The Price Spikes panel

Price Spikes watches individual venues for abrupt price moves, independent of whether a cross-venue arbitrage currently exists. It is the panel that catches depegs, exploits, listings dumps, and thin-pool repricings as they happen.

The two spike types, precisely

Windows and thresholds

Each spike is measured over one of six look-back windows. The window grid at the top of the panel lets Pro accounts choose which windows are shown and the minimum spike percentage per window. Larger windows use higher default thresholds because slow drift over an hour is normal, while a 30 percent move in 30 seconds is not.

Price Spikes title and count line

The count line reads {N} down / {M} up | {total}: down counts Buy Drop spikes (red), up counts Sell Rise spikes (green). When nothing is live it reads 0 spikes.

All toggle and window grid

The filter bar holds an All toggle plus one cell per window. Each cell shows the window label and a minimum-percent input (accessible name {window} min %, step 5, floor 10%). For Pro accounts, clicking a cell toggles that window on or off and the inputs are editable. For guest and Free sessions all six window options are displayed but only 30s and 5m appear active, the inputs are read-only, and interacting raises the Pro toast with the label spike windows.

Filtering scope

Window and minimum-percent filtering is applied client-side for Pro accounts on the premium spikes feed. Public sessions receive the server-curated public spikes feed as-is; the only filtering applied locally is your hidden assets plus the CEX and chain mute lists described in Hiding assets.

Empty state

No active price spikes detected.

Spike card anatomy

Asset link and side badge

The asset symbol links to the Token Flow view, same as opportunity cards. Next to it sits the side badge: Buy Drop, Sell Rise, or Spike.

Window chip and update age

A chip shows the window the spike was measured over (30s, 5m, and so on; n/a if unknown), followed by how long ago the spike record last updated, for example 2m ago.

Detection percent versus live percent

On the right the card shows the spike magnitude at detection and the live magnitude with an arrow, for example -25.51% → -18.20% (tooltips Spike % at detection and Live spike %). If the two differ by at least 1 percentage point a delta chip appears; if they differ by less than 0.1 percentage points the card collapses them into a single number. A live value drifting back toward zero means the move is retracing.

Venue line

The detail area names the venue, shows a chain chip, and stamps the source data age as snapshot {N}m ago.

Price rows

Two rows show the raw move: buy previous price, arrow, current price; and sell previous price, arrow, current price. If both sides fired on the same venue, a secondary row such as Sell Rise: +{x}% reports the other side's magnitude.

token / pool rows

Identical to opportunity cards: for spikes on DEX venues, Pro accounts get copyable token and pool rows; guest and Free sessions see the locked 0x•••••••• row with the Upgrade to Pro to view contract addresses tooltip.

Resolved spikes

When a spike resolves (the move retraced or the record went inactive) the card fades instead of vanishing instantly, and it remains in the feed for the server retention window of about 10 minutes. The fade tells you the event already played out.

Eye button

Hides the asset from the spikes panel. This uses the dedicated price-spike hidden scope, separate from the opportunities scope; see Hiding assets.

Hiding assets and Telegram mute sync

The eye button looks like a cosmetic filter, but for signed-in accounts it writes to the same server-side lists that drive your Telegram alert mutes. Hiding an asset on the dashboard and muting it for Telegram are one action on one list, not two settings to keep in sync.

{N} hidden, then Unhide all / Keep

Each panel header shows {N} hidden when its scope has hidden assets. Clicking it lists the hidden assets so you can review them. Unhide all clears the scope in one click; Keep exits review mode without changes. Individual assets can be restored with the eye button (Unhide this asset).

Default hidden seed

A small starter list ships hidden by default in the browser (seven spot assets and five perp assets, mostly chronically noisy tickers). If the dashboard seems to be missing a well-known asset on a fresh browser, open {N} hidden and unhide it.

CEX and chain spike mutes

Beyond per-asset hiding, your account can mute price spikes from entire exchanges or entire chains. Those lists are managed in My Page (Telegram alert rules) and are read by this dashboard: spikes originating from a muted CEX or chain are filtered out of the Price Spikes panel as well. There is no editor for these lists on the dashboard itself.

List limits

The server-side hidden lists cap at 1000 assets, 100 CEX entries, and 200 chain entries per scope.

The left sidebar: Filters (Pro)

While you are on the Arbitrage view, the left sidebar swaps its Graph-view content (stats and search) for a Filters panel. These are the broad, persistent filters: which venues, which chains, and which thresholds the whole dashboard should respect. Everything here is Pro-gated.

For guest and Free sessions, the heading shows a Premium badge and each section is dimmed under a lock overlay with a lock icon and the text Upgrade to unlock filters. Clicks on locked controls are intercepted, never applied, and raise the Pro toast.

Section Arbitrage Opportunities: From / To venue filters

Restrict the book to opportunities whose buy leg (From) or sell leg (To) is on specific venues. Each side has a search input with the placeholder Search venues... (accessible names Search from venues and Search to venues) plus a row of the four most popular venue chips. Before live options load, placeholder chips show BINANCE, UPBIT, UNISWAP, BINANCE PERP. A clear button removes the selection.

Venues are normalized so you pick at a sensible granularity: a DEX is one entry across its versions and chains, and a CEX splits into spot and perp entries (labeled like BINANCE and BINANCE PERP).

Section Arbitrage Opportunities: Chains

Restrict opportunities to specific chains. Search input placeholder Search chains..., popular chips (placeholder fallback eth, bsc, arb, sol), and a clear button.

Section New Entries: Min %

A numeric input (step 0.5) with the hint min 1%. This is the same value as the Min input in the New Entries panel header; the floor is 1%.

Section Price Spikes: All toggle and window grid

Mirrors the filter bar at the top of the Price Spikes panel: an All toggle plus one cell per window, each with the window label, a minimum-percent input (step 5, floor 10%), and a % suffix. Clicking a cell toggles that window. The window list comes from the premium feed's supported windows; before that response arrives, a placeholder window set may briefly appear.

Persistence

All sidebar filter values persist in your browser's local storage. They survive reloads on the same browser but do not roam between devices.

The Pro toast

Any locked control on this screen raises the same upgrade toast when clicked. It shows the eyebrow Pro plan and the message Adjusting {label} requires an upgrade, where the label names the control in lowercase: min spread filter, spike windows, or contract address (generic fallback Pro filter). It carries an Upgrade button that opens My Page and a close button (accessible name Dismiss), and it dismisses itself after about 4.2 seconds.

Free vs Pro on this screen

Everything on the dashboard is visible to everyone in structure; what changes with Pro is editability, field visibility, and cadence. The locks are enforced on the server: masked fields are absent from public API responses, not merely blurred in the browser.
