PRISM MEV Platform - Complete Documentation

🚀 Overview

The PRISM MEV Platform is a high-performance MEV arbitrage system with integrated observability and counter-MEV protection, designed for deployment on Solana. This documentation provides comprehensive guidance for deployment, configuration, and operation.

🏁 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Rust 1.70+ with Cargo
Docker and Docker Compose
Node.js 18+ (for Swagger UI)
Access to Solana RPC endpoints
HelioHost VPS or compatible hosting

Local Development Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd prism-rust

# Build the workspace
cargo build --workspace

# Run tests
cargo test --workspace

# Start the main platform
cargo run --bin prism-mev-platform

Key Features

Sub-100ms Arbitrage Detection: Real-time cross-DEX opportunity identification
Counter-MEV Protection: Sandwich attack detection and disruption
Multi-DEX Integration: Jupiter, Orca, Meteora support
Comprehensive Observability: OpenTelemetry + Coroot integration

📊 Observability Integration

OpenTelemetry + Coroot Stack

The platform includes comprehensive observability with:

Structured Logging: JSON-formatted logs with correlation IDs
Distributed Tracing: End-to-end request tracing with business context
Metrics Collection: Real-time performance and business metrics
OTLP Export: Direct integration with Coroot observability backend
