What is a CatScope MEV Bot

A trading bot is an automated program that monitors on-chain data and submits transactions to capture profitable opportunities — a machine that hunts profit, reacts in milliseconds, and never sleeps.

CatScope supports two modes for running trading bots:

  1. External Bot (Self-hosted) A trader can run the bot on their own server and connect remotely to the validator’s:
  • Read Market – to stream graph updates
  • Write Market – to send transactions
  1. Internal Bot (Validator-hosted) Bots can also run directly inside the validator runtime by registering in the CatScope Bot Market. In this mode:
  • The bot runs as part of the validator’s execution environment.
  • It gets ultra-low latency access to slot-by-slot graph updates and transaction execution.
