I am seeking an experienced Rust developer with expertise in Solana blockchain development to create a high-performance, low-latency copy trading bot. The bot should be capable of monitoring multiple wallets in real-time and replicating trades executed on decentralized exchanges Raydium and Pump.fun. It must support managing multiple private keys and provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for manual trade management, including the ability to close trades manually. The goal is to execute copied trades with minimal latency to optimize trade outcomes.

**Project Objectives:**
– Develop a fast and efficient copy trading bot that operates on the Solana blockchain.
– Monitor multiple wallets and replicate their trades in real-time.
– Manage multiple private keys securely.
– Provide a user-friendly GUI for monitoring trades and manual intervention.
– Minimize latency to reduce slippage and improve trade execution.
– Incorporate advanced features such as Jito integration, slippage control, retry mechanisms, and customizable trade sizing.

**Key Features and Requirements:**
1. **Programming Language:**
– The bot must be developed in **Rust**, leveraging its performance and safety features.
2. **Blockchain Interaction:**
– Utilize Solana’s **RPC API**, **gRPC**, and **WebSocket (wss)** protocols for real-time data streaming and transaction submission.
– Implement low-latency communication with Solana nodes.
– Support custom RPC endpoints, including those requiring API keys.
3. **Exchange Integration:**
– Support for copying trades from decentralized exchanges **Raydium** and **Pump.fun**.
– Ability to parse and replicate swap transactions and other trade types.
– Automatically obtain and handle **Pool IDs** as needed.
4. **Wallet Monitoring and Management:**
– Monitor multiple specified wallets on the Solana blockchain.
– Detect trades executed by these wallets in real-time.
– Allow dynamic addition or removal of wallets to monitor via configuration or user interface.
– Manage multiple private keys securely, enabling trades from multiple accounts.
5. **Trade Execution:**
– Copy trades based on a specified **percentage** of the original trade size or a **fixed lot size**.
– Implement **slippage control** to limit execution price deviations (e.g., maximum slippage settings).
– Include **retry mechanisms** for failed transactions with configurable retry limits.
– Apply configurable **delays (in milliseconds)** before executing copied trades if required.
– Accurately handle **partial trades** to match the source wallets’ actions.
6. **Graphical User Interface (GUI):**
– Develop a user-friendly GUI for real-time monitoring of trades and bot status.
– Provide functionality to **manually close trades** or portions of trades through the GUI.
– Allow dynamic management of monitored wallets and private keys via the GUI.
– Include settings adjustments and display of analytics (e.g., trade metrics, profit/loss).
7. **Command-Line Interface (CLI):**
– Provide a CLI for users who prefer command-line interaction.
– Allow adding/removing wallets and private keys, adjusting settings, and initiating manual trades.
8. **Jito Integration:**
– Integrate with **Jito’s Block Engine** to potentially gain priority in block inclusion.
– Utilize Jito’s **gRPC** and **WebSocket** endpoints for transaction submission if enabled.
– Provide configuration options to enable or disable Jito integration.
9. **Configuration:**
– Use a configuration file (e.g., YAML or TOML) to store settings such as monitored wallets, trade parameters, and API endpoints.
– Provide settings for trade scaling (percentage or fixed amount), delays, slippage, retries, and other trade parameters.
– Enable or disable features like Jito integration, safety checks, and manual sniping mode via configuration.
10. **Error Handling and Notifications:**
– Implement robust error handling to manage network issues, transaction failures, etc.
– Log significant events and errors for monitoring and debugging purposes.
– Provide notifications (e.g., email, SMS) for critical events or errors.
– Ensure the bot continues operating smoothly even when encountering recoverable errors.
11. **Performance Optimization:**
– Optimize for **low latency** to ensure timely replication of trades.
– Use asynchronous programming (e.g., **Tokio**) to handle concurrent tasks efficiently.
– Ensure efficient handling of WebSocket and gRPC connections.
12. **Security:**
– Securely manage **multiple private keys**, ensuring they are encrypted and not exposed.
– Follow best practices for handling sensitive information.
– Implement secure password handling for decrypting private keys.
– Ensure that private keys can be added or removed at runtime without compromising security.
13. **Safety Checks:**
– Implement optional safety checks before executing trades, such as:
– Checking if the token has socials and a website.
– Verifying if the token is mutable or freezable.
– Checking if the liquidity pool (LP) is burned or locked.
– Ensuring the token is not a scam or rug-pull risk.
– Allow enabling or disabling these checks via configuration.
14. **Manual Intervention and Controls:**
– Provide options for **manual trade management**, such as pausing the bot or closing trades manually through the GUI.
– Ensure that manual interventions have priority over automated actions.
– Allow adjusting trade parameters in real-time.
15. **Testing:**
– Include **unit tests** and **integration tests** to ensure the bot functions correctly.
– Provide test scripts or configurations for simulating trading scenarios.
– Ensure that critical components, such as transaction monitoring and trade execution, are thoroughly tested.
16. **Documentation:**
– Provide clear documentation of the codebase, setup instructions, and usage guidelines.
– Include comments and explanations within the code where necessary.
– Document any external dependencies or requirements.
17. **Deployment:**
– Provide a **Dockerfile** or deployment scripts for easy setup.
– Ensure compatibility with common deployment environments (e.g., Linux servers).
– Include instructions for setting up the environment and dependencies.
– We will also be deploying the bot on a Windows RDP to begin with, so ensure it’ll work on both OS.
**Technology Stack:**
– **Programming Language:** Rust
– **Blockchain Platform:** Solana
– **Exchanges:** Raydium, Pump.fun
– **Networking Protocols:** gRPC, WebSocket (wss), HTTP/HTTPS for RPC calls
