  "mev_context": "WETH is the most arbitraged token in DeFi. Price spreads across same-chain DEXs are typically <0.05% and are closed within 1-3 blocks by specialized MEV bots (Flashbots, MEV-Boost searchers) running private mempools. At $1,000 trade size, gas costs on Ethereum mainnet (~$3.50) consume any realistic spread. On Arbitrum, gas is negligible (~$0.08) but spreads are even tighter due to high bot competition. Cross-chain arb requires own capital and bridge latency (2-10 min) during which prices can revert. The minimum viable size for cross-chain WETH arb via Across is approximately $5,000-$10,000 to overcome bridge fees, and even then institutional bots with sub-second latency dominate. Retail same-chain DEX arb on WETH is effectively not viable — MEV bots have structural advantages (bundle submission, private RPC, validator relationships).",
