<h2>About The Project</h2>Pyth Network is the largest and fastest-growing first-party financial oracle provider for real-time asset price data and DeFi infrastructure.Express Relay directly connects DeFi protocols to a network of established searchers through priority auctions, which allow searchers to compete for priority to perform lucrative operations (such as liquidations) on integrated protocols. The sequencing of these transactions is determined in isolated auctions not controlled by validators, enabling DeFi protocols to recapture value typically lost to MEV.<h2>Requirements</h2>Stay tuned for the full details of the evaluation criteria, completion details, and payment logistics. Please do not make any submissions until the full details of this project are published.Preview: Currently, Express Relay features an auction server which, in addition to hosting auctions, exposes opportunities to searchers once they become eligible (live). However, searchers would benefit from being able to learn about these opportunities before they become eligible (live) so that they can acquire the relevant tokens and make token approvals. The ask is to build endpoints in the existing server (or a separate server) that allow protocols to expose the total amount of tokens required for searchers for upcoming (close-to-executable) opportunities. Close-to-executable here means within different ranges of current market prices (e.g. 100 bps, 200 bps, 500 bps, etc.).<h2>Evaluation Criteria</h2>Applicants will be evaluated based on the following criteria:<ul><li>Condition Design: Effective design for conditions close to executable for practical applications and a well-defined API schema.</li><li>Security Measures: Implement simulations or gating mechanisms to verify opportunities and prevent DoS/griefing attacks.</li><li>Data Querying: Efficient design for HTTP and WebSocket queries to access relevant information.</li><li>Server and Database Practices: Adhere to best practices for server and database management, ensuring accurate calculation and updates of token amounts.</li><li>Public Dashboard: Develop a dashboard displaying upcoming opportunities (e.g., liquidations) based on price data.</li></ul><h2>Tech Stack</h2><ul><li>Solidity</li><li>Adapting client code (Python, Javascript)</li><li>Adapting server code (Rust)</li><li>Database: MySQL</li></ul><h2>Completion Details</h2>More to be announced soon. Stay tuned.<h2>Payment Logistics</h2>More to be announced soon.
