Profitability Engine Implementation

This PR implements the profitability engine component for the staker-bots system, which analyzes and determines whether deposits can be profitably bumped based on calculator eligibility, reward constraints, gas costs, and batch optimization.

Overview

The profitability engine integrates with the Staker contract to determine bump eligibility and calculates optimal tips and batch sizes for profitable bump operations. It follows the same architectural patterns as the calculator component, using a wrapper/strategy pattern.

Key Components

1. ProfitabilityEngineWrapper

   • Main entry point for profitability analysis
   • Manages configuration and initialization
   • Delegates operations to the base engine implementation

2. BaseProfitabilityEngine

   • Core implementation of profitability calculations
   • Handles deposit validation and eligibility checks
   • Implements gas price estimation with configurable buffer
   • Enforces unclaimed rewards rules from the Staker contract

3. Types and Interfaces

   • ProfitabilityCheck: Result type for single deposit analysis
   • BatchAnalysis: Result type for batch profitability analysis
   • BumpRequirements: Encapsulates eligibility and reward constraints
   • TipOptimization: Handles optimal tip calculations and profit estimates

Key Features

1. Deposit Validation

   • Verifies deposit existence before analysis
   • Checks owner and balance information
   • Validates against calculator eligibility

2. Unclaimed Rewards Rules

   • Implements both increasing and decreasing earning power scenarios
   • For power increases: ensures unclaimedRewards >= requestedTip
   • For power decreases: ensures (unclaimedRewards - requestedTip) >= maxBumpTip

3. Gas Price Management

   • Fetches current gas prices from the network
   • Applies configurable buffer for volatility
   • Tracks price history for monitoring

4. Batch Optimization

   • Analyzes groups of deposits for batch bumping
   • Calculates optimal batch size based on gas costs
   • Maintains minimum profit/gas ratio requirements

5. Safety Features

   • Never suggests zero address for tip receiver
   • Validates all tips against maxBumpTip
   • Ensures profitable operations with configurable margin

Configuration

The engine is configurable through ProfitabilityConfig:

• minProfitMargin: Minimum required profit (default: 0.01 ETH)
• maxBatchSize: Maximum deposits per batch (default: 10)
• gasPriceBuffer: Buffer percentage for gas price (default: 20%)
• minConfidence: Required confidence for estimates (default: 90)
• defaultTipReceiver: Address to receive bump tips

Testing

• Unit tests for profitability calculations
• Integration tests with Staker contract
• Gas estimation accuracy tests
• Batch optimization tests
• Error handling and edge cases

Future Improvements

1. Enhanced Batch Optimization

   • More sophisticated batch size algorithms
   • Dynamic gas price thresholds
   • Priority-based deposit selection

2. Monitoring and Analytics

   • Profitability trends tracking
   • Gas price prediction
   • Success rate analysis

3. Performance Optimization

   • Caching for repeated calculations
   • Parallel batch analysis
   • Optimized gas estimation

Dependencies

• Requires Calculator component
• Integrates with Staker contract
• Uses ethers.js for blockchain interaction
• Depends on database for deposit information
