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 12.279720328547805 on the CEX lane and 12.292910224862732 on the deepest traded Ethereum pool. Gas is 0.06 gwei, ETH is 2425.7675700904097, 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: 12.2929 against 12.2797 is 10.74 bps (0.7), gas: 0.0599343 gwei x 150000 units x ETH 2425.77 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 (10.741 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 |
