friendrekt (based on evmcheb's)

Read the breakdown for more information on this repository. The Rust & Python components need to be running simultaneously for the bot to work. Thank you to evmcheb for the thread and for sharing the original repo.

How to run

Rust component

The Rust project is responsible for parsing transactions and executing transactions at the right time with the right values.

To run the Rust project (friendrekt-rs) you need to have Rust installed. Then follow these steps:

1. Create a .env file with the following values:

BASE_WSS_URL=wss://base-mainnet.blastapi.io/{your_secret_id}
FT_ADDRESS=0xCF205808Ed36593aa40a44F10c7f7C2F67d4A4d4 # friend.tech contract address
PRIVATE_KEY=...
SNIPER_ADDRESS=<deploy the smart contracts to get a sniper address>

2. Install dependencies and run the project

cd friendrekt-rs
cargo install --path .
cargo run build.rs # builds abi
cargo run src/main.rs # run mev bot

Python component

The Python project is really simple. All it does is listen for GET requests from the Rust project and returns the number of followers for the specified Twitter account.

To run the Python project (friendrekt-py) you need to have Python 3.10+ installed. Then follow these steps:

1. Create a file at ./friendrekt-py/creds.json and include your Twitter credentials like so:

{
    "username": "your_twitter_username",
    "password": "your_twitter_password"
}

2. Create a virtual environment (optional)

cd friendrekt-py
virtualenv .
source bin/activate

3. Install dependencies and run the HTTP server

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m guvicorn main:app --reload

Contracts

There are also smart contracts included in the project. They have additional features for buying shares compared to the friend.tech contracts. To build the contracts, you need to have forge installed. Then follow these steps:

cd friendrekt-contracts
forge build

To deploy the contracts, use forge or Remix, whichever you prefer.
