RAIL arbitrage between Astar DEX and Onchain DEX: we compare the price of RAIL on Astar DEX (futures) and Onchain DEX (spot) in real time — the executable spread (buy at the ask, sell at the bid), basis, volume and deposit/withdrawal status. You can see whether the gap holds or is a one-second blip you would never get into.

About Railgun

RAILGUN secures privacy for DEX trading and lending. Built without any bridge or layer-2, RAILGUN is a smart contract system that gives zk-SNARK privacy to any transaction or smart contract interaction on Ethereum. Using RAILGUN means users can stay private when they trade, send tokens, and manage their on-chain activity. It allows any user to build up a private balance and trade through it without withdrawing. It is fully on-chain, so it does not trade off security by using a layer 2 node system or cross-chain bridges. RAIL is a utility token giving access to treasury rewards for stakers who then can vote for and against protocol updates. RAILGUN is currently on Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Arbitrum.

About RAIL arbitrage

How do I read the RAIL spread?

The spread is how many percent higher RAIL trades on one exchange than on the other. We measure it at tradeable prices (ask/bid) net of fees; “net” is closer to what you actually keep.

Is this arbitrage worth taking?

Look past the spread: check volume, order-book depth and the deposit/withdrawal status on Astar DEX and Onchain DEX. If deposits or withdrawals are shut, or the book is thin, the spread exists on paper but you cannot trade into it.
