V2Pair

The V2Pair contracts are responsible for all pair logic including: liquidity provision, swapping, and rebalancing the pair.

The V2Pair contract inherits ERC20 functionality, so all usual ERC20 can be used with pair tokens.

This documentation covers pool specific functionality, where the full contract can be found here.

Code from Uniswap V2 Pair with the following modifications.

  1. Introduce a new requirement in the swap function to allow only one swap per block per swap direction.

    • The new requirement ensures fair amount of dynamic swap fees are paid to LPs each block, because arbitrageurs are discouraged from splitting their swap in multiple transactions in order to manipulate the dynamic swap fee.

    • The new requirement also ensures arbitrageurs are protected from sandwich attacks.

  2. Replace the requirement balance0Adjusted * balance1Adjusted >= reserve0 * reserve1 in the swap function with a new requirement: (net amountIn0) * balance1 >= (net amountOut1) * balance0 and, (net amountIn1) * balance0 >= (net amountOut0) * balance1.

    • The new requirement implements the dynamic swap fee structure.

Events​

Mint​

event Mint(address indexed sender, uint amount0, uint amount1);

Emitted each time liquidity tokens are created via mint

Burn​

event Burn(address indexed sender, uint amount0, uint amount1, address indexed to);

Emitted each time liquidity tokens are destroyed via burn.

Swap​

Emitted each time a swap occurs via swap.

Sync​

Emitted each time reserves are updated via mint, burn, swap, or sync.

Read-Only Functions​

MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY​

Returns 1000 for all pairs.

  • To ameliorate rounding errors and increase the theoretical minimum tick size for liquidity provision, pairs burn the first MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY pool tokens.

  • Happens automatically during the first liquidity provision.

factory​

Returns the factory address.

token0​

Returns the address of the pair token with the lower sort order.

token1​

Returns the address of the pair token with the higher sort order.

getReserves​

Returns the reserves of token0 and token1 used to price trades and distribute liquidity. Also returns the block.timestamp (mod 2**32) of the last block during which an interaction occurred for the pair.

price0CumulativeLast​

Returns the sum of the token's price for every second in the entire history of the contract.

  • Can be used to track accurate time-weighted average prices (TWAP)s across any time interval.

  • The TWAP is constructed by reading the cumulative price at the beginning and at the end of the desired TWAP interval. The difference in this cumulative price can then be divided by the length of the interval to create a TWAP for that period.

price1CumulativeLast​

Returns the sum of the token's price for every second in the entire history of the contract.

kLast​

Returns the product of the reserves as of the most recent liquidity event.

State-Changing Functions​

Description

liquidity

uint

burn​

Destroys pool tokens.

Parameters​

Name

to

address

address of the receiver of token0 and token1

Returns​

Name
Type
Description

amount0

uint

amount of token0 returned from burn

amount1

uint

amount of token1 returned from burn

swap​

Swaps tokens. For regular swaps, data.length must be 0.

  • Emits Swap, Sync.

  • Either amount0Out or amount1Out will be 0 on calls depending on what the swap is from and to.

Parameters​

Name
Type
Description

amount0Out

uint

address of the receiver of pool tokens

amount1Out

uint

address of the other token in the pair

to

address

address of the receiver of out token

data

bytes

calldata data to pass forward after the swap

skim​

Allows a user to withdraw the difference between the current balance of the pair and 2^112 - 1 to the caller, if that difference is greater than 0.

  • Used as a recovery mechanism in case enough tokens are sent to a pair to overflow the two uint112 storage slots for reserves, which could otherwise cause trades to fail.

Parameters​

Name
Type
Description

to

address

address to skim tokens to

sync​

Exists to set the the reserve of the contract to the current balances.

  • Emits Sync.

  • Used as recovery mechanism in the case that a token asynchronously deflates the balance of a pair.
