4.3 Configuration (where to tweak things)

Right now configuration is done directly in capture.py. Later you can abstract this to a config file or env vars, but let’s stay honest to the repo.

Open spreadnet.py and look for:

4.3.1 Minimum profit threshold

self.min_profit_threshold = 0.1  # in %

• Raise it if you only care about fatter edges (e.g. 0.5 or 1.0).

• Lower it if you want to see micro-edges (noise will explode).

Rule of thumb: start with defaults, then adjust after you see actual data.

4.3.2 Detection frequency (polling interval)

Somewhere in the main loop you’ll see:

await asyncio.sleep(2)  # seconds

• Lower value (e.g. 1): more frequent updates, more API load, more CPU.

• Higher value (e.g. 3–5): less load, slightly more latency.

If you have good hardware + don’t care about API quotas, 1 is fine. Otherwise keep 2.

4.3.3 DEX / aggregator list

You’ll see a config structure for DEXs (e.g. dex_configs or similar).

• Comment out venues you don’t care about.

• Add new ones by:

  • Adding their API endpoints.

  • Implementing a fetch/normalize function in the same style as existing ones.

Don’t add 10 random shit DEXs at once and then complain about errors. Add one, test, then move on.
