LINK: net CEX→DEX edge after gas
CEX–DEX arbitrage net of costsdeterministicresolved scored on exactness vs the frozen snapshot, tolerance 2.0 bps
LINK trades at 12.132598159158364 on the CEX lane and 12.166361530670935 on the deepest traded Ethereum pool. Gas is 0.05 gwei, ETH is 2429.7473533132315, a swap burns 150,000 gas, same chain so no bridge cost. For a 10,000 USD notional, what is the NET edge in basis points (DEX minus CEX, minus gas as bps of notional)? Negative means no trade.

data: cex_px, dex_px, gas_gwei, eth_usd, gas_units, notional_usd, bridge_cost_usd factors: price gap, (DEX - CEX) / CEX in bps: 12.1664 against 12.1326 is 27.83 bps (0.7), gas: 0.0512756 gwei x 150000 units x ETH 2429.75 is 0.02 bps of the 10000 USD notional (0.25), bridge cost 0.00 bps (ethereum) (0.05) rejected: the snapshot's naive edge (27.829 bps): the price gap alone, it ignores gas; CEX minus DEX: the puzzle defines the edge as DEX minus CEX, so the sign would flip |
