Overview

Crypto Arbitrage Tracker, also known as CAT, is a crypto market analysis and arbitrage tracking system developed by Anarchain.

The system monitors cryptocurrency markets, compares prices between centralized and decentralized exchanges, detects price differences, and evaluates whether a raw spread can become a real, executable arbitrage opportunity.

CAT is designed to move beyond simple price difference detection. It considers trading fees, network costs, liquidity, slippage, transfer time, market limitations, and execution risk before presenting opportunities to users.

The Problem

In crypto markets, the same asset may trade at different prices across exchanges and liquidity venues.

However, a raw price difference is not necessarily a real arbitrage opportunity.

A profitable-looking spread may disappear because of:

• Trading fees
• Withdrawal fees
• Network fees
• Low liquidity
• Slippage
• Transfer delay
• Deposit or withdrawal restrictions
• Fast market movement
• Incomplete order execution
• Differences between CEX and DEX settlement models

CAT was designed to help users evaluate opportunities more carefully instead of reacting only to raw spread numbers.
