  1. 0:00Take a look at [music] what's on my
  2. 0:01screen. For the past 24 hours, trades
  3. 0:03have been executing themselves on the
  4. 0:05Ethereum blockchain, [music] and I
  5. 0:07genuinely haven't done a thing. The
  6. 0:09whole system is autonomous. This AI
  7. 0:11trading bot I put together takes care of
  8. 0:13everything from start [music] to finish.
  9. 0:15I've been sitting on this project for
  10. 0:17over 6 months without telling anyone,
  11. 0:19[music] and I thought it was finally
  12. 0:20time to put it out there. What you're
  13. 0:22seeing is a trading bot powered by AI
  14. 0:24that I built [music] from nothing, and
  15. 0:26it's been quietly making money in the
  16. 0:27background while I worked on other
  17. 0:28things. During this video, I'll walk you
  18. 0:30through exactly how it functions,
  19. 0:32>> [music]
  20. 0:32>> hand over the full source code, and show
  21. 0:34you real results from actual trades.
  22. 0:37It's been running non-stop for 6 months
  23. 0:39now, and because the blockchain keeps
  24. 0:40permanent public records, you can audit
  25. 0:42[music] any transaction at any time.
  26. 0:44What makes this easy to get into is that
  27. 0:46you don't need deep crypto knowledge or
  28. 0:48coding skills. I genuinely built this
  29. 0:50whole thing by working with ChatGPT as
  30. 0:53my coding partner, and I'm now passing
  31. 0:55it on to you. Your only job is to follow
  32. 0:57along with the setup I'm about to show.
  33. 0:59Let me explain the main concept. Imagine
  34. 1:01Ethereum being sold on two different
  35. 1:03decentralized exchanges at the same
  36. 1:05[music] moment. On Uniswap, the price is
  37. 1:07$2,430,
  38. 1:09and on Sushiswap, it's listed at $2,470.
  39. 1:13If you could grab it at the lower price
  40. 1:15and instantly flip it on the higher
  41. 1:16priced exchange, you'd walk away with
  42. 1:18$40. That's the basic idea behind
  43. 1:21arbitrage. Not too complicated, right?
  44. 1:24Here's the interesting part, and there's
  45. 1:26a safety net built right into the
  46. 1:27system. The bot works with what's known
  47. 1:29as a flash loan. To put it simply, it
  48. 1:32temporarily borrows a large sum, runs
  49. 1:34through the full trade, buying on the
  50. 1:36cheap exchange and selling on the
  51. 1:37expensive one, and then repays the loan,
  52. 1:40all inside one blockchain transaction.
  53. 1:42[music] Here's the critical detail. If
  54. 1:44something goes off track, like the
  55. 1:45prices move or the profit isn't
  56. 1:47meaningful, the whole operation reverses
  57. 1:49on its own. No money changes hands, and
  58. 1:52you lose [music] nothing. In practical
  59. 1:54terms, this means your own capital stays
  60. 1:56safe. You're not stuck holding a
  61. 1:58position and crossing your fingers, and
  62. 2:00there's no anxiety involved. The bot
  63. 2:02either spots a real opportunity and
  64. 2:03takes it, or [music] it keeps scanning.
  65. 2:05The absolute worst outcome is a few
  66. 2:08cents lost to network fees, and that
  67. 2:10really is the ceiling. [music] All
  68. 2:11right, let's pull up the code the AI
  69. 2:13helped me put together. I'll leave a
  70. 2:14link in the description, and we can get
  71. 2:16into the setup. Start by heading over to
  72. 2:18the development platform. Before you go
  73. 2:20further, make sure you have a wallet
  74. 2:22extension in your browser.
  75. 2:23>> [music]
  76. 2:23>> If you do, you're ready. If you don't,
  77. 2:26I've included an installation link
  78. 2:27below. Once you're on the platform, make
  79. 2:29a new file and name it whatever you
  80. 2:31like.
  81. 2:31>> [music]
  82. 2:36>> Paste the code right into the editor.
  83. 2:38Then scroll all the way up to the top.
  84. 2:40>> [music]
  85. 2:42>> There's some useful guidance about ideal
  86. 2:44conditions for running the bot, along
  87. 2:46with a technical breakdown of how it
  88. 2:47[music] all works. It's worth a couple
  89. 2:49of minutes to go through that.
  90. 2:55>> [music]
  91. 2:56>> Next, move over to the compile tab.
  92. 2:59Hit compile and give it a second.
  93. 3:03Perfect. No errors, so we can keep
  94. 3:05going.
  95. 3:07With the compilation done, head to the
  96. 3:08deploy and run transactions tab. Choose
  97. 3:11your wallet extension from the
  98. 3:12drop-down, and when the connection
  99. 3:13request comes up, approve it.
  100. 3:19>> [music]
  101. 3:21>> You should now see your wallet address
  102. 3:23and balance.
  103. 3:24>> [music]
  104. 3:26>> We're ready to deploy. Click deploy,
  105. 3:28keeping in mind there's a small fee.
  106. 3:30That's totally normal for putting smart
  107. 3:32contracts on the blockchain, so no need
  108. 3:34to worry. Confirm the transaction and
  109. 3:36let it process.
  110. 3:40>> [music]
  111. 3:44>> Excellent. Your system is now live and
  112. 3:46the control panel is ready.
  113. 3:47>> [music]
  114. 3:52>> Before anything else, please take a
  115. 3:54moment to click the verification link.
  116. 3:59Double-check that the owner address
  117. 4:00shown matches your wallet address. Think
  118. 4:02of it as a basic security step you
  119. 4:04really shouldn't skip.
  120. 4:10Now, it's time to fund the bot. The
  121. 4:11sweet spot is around 1 to 2 Ethereum or
  122. 4:14more, which lets it run at full
  123. 4:15efficiency. If you'd rather test first,
  124. 4:18you can go smaller. Half an Ethereum
  125. 4:20works for testing. The returns [music]
  126. 4:21won't be as big, obviously, but
  127. 4:23everything functions normally. I
  128. 4:25wouldn't drop below 0.5 Ethereum,
  129. 4:27[music] though, since gas fees can
  130. 4:29really cut into your returns and
  131. 4:30possibly your starting balance. To keep
  132. 4:32it simple, for best performance, 1 to 2
  133. 4:35or more Ethereum. For testing, 0.5
  134. 4:38Ethereum is enough. My main setup runs
  135. 4:40with 30 plus Ethereum, but even 3
  136. 4:43Ethereum is plenty to show the whole
  137. 4:44thing in action. Once your deposit goes
  138. 4:46through, refresh the page so the new
  139. 4:48balance shows up.
  140. 4:54>> [music]
  141. 4:59>> Everything looking right? Then hit the
  142. 5:01activation button to get the bot
  143. 5:02started.
  144. 5:05>> [music]
  145. 5:08>> There's one last transaction fee to
  146. 5:10approve.
  147. 5:17>> [music]
  148. 5:21>> And you're done. The system is now live
  149. 5:23and will keep running on the blockchain
  150. 5:25around the [music] clock, whether your
  151. 5:26computer is on or off. Open the
  152. 5:28blockchain explorer and you'll see
  153. 5:30transactions as the bot finds and
  154. 5:32executes profitable trades. I'll let it
  155. 5:34run for a while and come back to check.
  156. 5:37>> [music]
  157. 5:39[clears throat]
  158. 5:40>> I gave it some time to do its thing, so
  159. 5:42let's see what came out of it.
  160. 5:44Take a look. The bot ran trades
  161. 5:46completely on its and every transaction
  162. 5:49is right here in full view.
  163. 5:53I'm walking through each one, so you can
  164. 5:54see the real numbers. Everything ran
  165. 5:56exactly as it should. No hiccups, just
  166. 5:59clean, [music] steady execution. Nice.
  167. 6:02You can absolutely leave it running as
  168. 6:04long as you want, but for this demo, let
  169. 6:06me show you how to pull your funds back.
  170. 6:07[music]
  171. 6:08Head to the platform and hit the
  172. 6:09withdraw button.
  173. 6:12Wait for confirmation, then check your
  174. 6:14[music] wallet.
  175. 6:21You should see your original deposit
  176. 6:22along with whatever profit came in.
  177. 6:24Before I finish, there's a disclaimer I
  178. 6:26need to mention. This whole thing is
  179. 6:28strictly for educational and
  180. 6:30demonstration purposes.
  181. 6:31>> [music]
  182. 6:31>> It is not financial advice in any sense.
  183. 6:34I'm just documenting a technical
  184. 6:36experiment to show what's possible with
  185. 6:37the tools available today. If you've got
  186. 6:39technical questions, feel free to reach
  187. 6:41out using the info in the description.
  188. 6:43That pretty much covers it. I'm making
  189. 6:45these videos because I'm building a
  190. 6:46community around this channel before
  191. 6:48launching my own DeFi project. [music]
  192. 6:50If this tutorial was useful, the
  193. 6:52simplest way to help is by liking and
  194. 6:54subscribing. I'd also love to hear how
  195. 6:56it went for you. Share your results in
  196. 6:58the comments. I'm really curious to see
  197. 7:00how the bot performs with different
  198. 7:01setups.
