Uniswap-v2 Contract Walk-Through

Introduction

Uniswap v2(opens in a new tab) can create an exchange market between any two ERC-20 tokens. In this article we will go over the source code for the contracts that implement this protocol and see why they are written this way.

What Does Uniswap Do?

Basically, there are two types of users: liquidity providers and traders.

The liquidity providers provide the pool with the two tokens that can be exchanged (we'll call them Token0 and Token1). In return, they receive a third token that represents partial ownership of the pool called a liquidity token.

Traders send one type of token to the pool and receive the other (for example, send Token0 and receive Token1) out of the pool provided by the liquidity providers. The exchange rate is determined by the relative number of Token0s and Token1s that the pool has. In addition, the pool takes a small percent as a reward for the liquidity pool.

When liquidity providers want their assets back they can burn the pool tokens and receive back their tokens, including their share of the rewards.

Why v2? Why not v3?

Uniswap v3(opens in a new tab) is an upgrade that is much more complicated than the v2. It is easier to first learn v2 and then go to v3.

Core Contracts vs Periphery Contracts

Uniswap v2 is divided into two components, a core and a periphery. This division allows the core contracts, which hold the assets and therefore have to be secure, to be simpler and easier to audit. All the extra functionality required by traders can then be provided by periphery contracts.

Data and Control Flows

This is the flow of data and control that happens when you perform the three main actions of Uniswap:

1. Swap between different tokens
2. Add liquidity to the market and get rewarded with pair exchange ERC-20 liquidity tokens
3. Burn ERC-20 liquidity tokens and get back the ERC-20 tokens that the pair exchange allows traders to exchange

Swap

This is most common flow, used by traders:

Caller

1. Provide the periphery account with an allowance in the amount to be swapped.
2. Call one of the periphery contract's many swap functions (which one depends on whether ETH is involved or not, whether the trader specifies the amount of tokens to deposit or the amount of tokens to get back, etc). Every swap function accepts a path, an array of exchanges to go through.

In the periphery contract (UniswapV2Router02.sol)

3. Identify the amounts that need to be traded on each exchange along the path.
4. Iterates over the path. For every exchange along the way it sends the input token and then calls the exchange's swap function. In most cases the destination address for the tokens is the next pair exchange in the path. In the final exchange it is the address provided by the trader.

In the core contract (UniswapV2Pair.sol)

5. Verify that the core contract is not being cheated and can maintain sufficient liquidity after the swap.
6. See how many extra tokens we have in addition to the known reserves. That amount is the number of input tokens we received to exchange.
7. Send the output tokens to the destination.
8. Call _update to update the reserve amounts

Back in the periphery contract (UniswapV2Router02.sol)

9. Perform any necessary cleanup (for example, burn WETH tokens to get back ETH to send the trader)

Add Liquidity

Caller

1. Provide the periphery account with an allowance in the amounts to be added to the liquidity pool.
2. Call one of the periphery contract's addLiquidity functions.

In the periphery contract (UniswapV2Router02.sol)

3. Create a new pair exchange if necessary
4. If there is an existing pair exchange, calculate the amount of tokens to add. This is supposed to be identical value for both tokens, so the same ratio of new tokens to existing tokens.
5. Check if the amounts are acceptable (callers can specify a minimum amount below which they'd rather not add liquidity)
6. Call the core contract.

In the core contract (UniswapV2Pair.sol)

7. Mint liquidity tokens and send them to the caller
8. Call _update to update the reserve amounts

Remove Liquidity

Caller

1. Provide the periphery account with an allowance of liquidity tokens to be burned in exchange for the underlying tokens.
2. Call one of the periphery contract's removeLiquidity functions.

In the periphery contract (UniswapV2Router02.sol)

3. Send the liquidity tokens to the pair exchange

In the core contract (UniswapV2Pair.sol)

4. Send the destination address the underlying tokens in proportion to the burned tokens. For example if there are 1000 A tokens in the pool, 500 B tokens, and 90 liquidity tokens, and we receive 9 tokens to burn, we're burning 10% of the liquidity tokens so we send back the user 100 A tokens and 50 B tokens.
5. Burn the liquidity tokens
6. Call _update to update the reserve amounts

The Core Contracts

These are the secure contracts which hold the liquidity.

UniswapV2Pair.sol

This contract(opens in a new tab) implements the actual pool that exchanges tokens. It is the core Uniswap functionality.

1pragma solidity =0.5.16;

3import './interfaces/IUniswapV2Pair.sol';
4import './UniswapV2ERC20.sol';
5import './libraries/Math.sol';
6import './libraries/UQ112x112.sol';
7import './interfaces/IERC20.sol';
8import './interfaces/IUniswapV2Factory.sol';
9import './interfaces/IUniswapV2Callee.sol';
Показати все
 Копіювати

These are all the interfaces that the contract needs to know about, either because the contract implements them (IUniswapV2Pair and UniswapV2ERC20) or because it calls contracts that implement them.

1contract UniswapV2Pair is IUniswapV2Pair, UniswapV2ERC20 {
 Копіювати

This contract inherits from UniswapV2ERC20, which provides the ERC-20 functions for the liquidity tokens.

1    using SafeMath  for uint;
 Копіювати

The SafeMath library(opens in a new tab) is used to avoid overflows and underflows. This is important because otherwise we might end up with a situation where a value should be -1, but is instead 2^256-1.

1    using UQ112x112 for uint224;
 Копіювати

A lot of calculations in the pool contract require fractions. However, fractions are not supported by the EVM. The solution that Uniswap found is to use 224 bit values, with 112 bits for the integer part, and 112 bits for the fraction. So 1.0 is represented as 2^112, 1.5 is represented as 2^112 + 2^111, etc.

More details about this library are available later in the document.

Variables

1    uint public constant MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY = 10**3;
 Копіювати

To avoid cases of division by zero, there is a minimum number of liquidity tokens that always exist (but are owned by account zero). That number is MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY, a thousand.

1    bytes4 private constant SELECTOR = bytes4(keccak256(bytes('transfer(address,uint256)')));
 Копіювати

This is the ABI selector for the ERC-20 transfer function. It is used to transfer ERC-20 tokens in the two token accounts.

1    address public factory;
 Копіювати

This is the factory contract that created this pool. Every pool is an exchange between two ERC-20 tokens, the factory is a central point that connects all of these pools.

1    address public token0;
2    address public token1;
 Копіювати

There are the addresses of the contracts for the two types of ERC-20 tokens that can be exchanged by this pool.

1    uint112 private reserve0;           // uses single storage slot, accessible via getReserves
2    uint112 private reserve1;           // uses single storage slot, accessible via getReserves
 Копіювати

The reserves the pool has for each token type. We assume that the two represent the same amount of value, and therefore each token0 is worth reserve1/reserve0 token1's.

1    uint32  private blockTimestampLast; // uses single storage slot, accessible via getReserves
 Копіювати

The timestamp for the last block in which an exchange occurred, used to track exchange rates across time.

One of the biggest gas expenses of Ethereum contracts is storage, which persists from one call of the contract to the next. Each storage cell is 256 bits long. So three variables, reserve0, reserve1, and blockTimestampLast, are allocated in such a way a single storage value can include all three of them (112+112+32=256).

1    uint public price0CumulativeLast;
2    uint public price1CumulativeLast;
 Копіювати

These variables hold the cumulative costs for each token (each in term of the other). They can be used to calculate the average exchange rate over a period of time.

1    uint public kLast; // reserve0 * reserve1, as of immediately after the most recent liquidity event
 Копіювати

The way the pair exchange decides on the exchange rate between token0 and token1 is to keep the multiple of the two reserves constant during trades. kLast is this value. It changes when a liquidity provider deposits or withdraws tokens, and it increases slightly because of the 0.3% market fee.

Here is a simple example. Note that for the sake of simplicity the table only has three digits after the decimal point, and we ignore the 0.3% trading fee so the numbers are not accurate.

As traders provide more of token0, the relative value of token1 increases, and vice versa, based on supply and demand.

Lock

1    uint private unlocked = 1;
 Копіювати

There is a class of security vulnerabilities that are based on reentrancy abuse(opens in a new tab). Uniswap needs to transfer arbitrary ERC-20 tokens, which means calling ERC-20 contracts that may attempt to abuse the Uniswap market that calls them. By having an unlocked variable as part of the contract, we can prevent functions from being called while they are running (within the same transaction).

1    modifier lock() {
 Копіювати

This function is a modifier(opens in a new tab), a function that wraps around a normal function to change its behavior is some way.

1        require(unlocked == 1, 'UniswapV2: LOCKED');
2        unlocked = 0;
 Копіювати

If unlocked is equal to one, set it to zero. If it is already zero revert the call, make it fail.

1        _;
 Копіювати

In a modifier _; is the original function call (with all the parameters). Here it means that the function call only happens if unlocked was one when it was called, and while it is running the value of unlocked is zero.

1        unlocked = 1;
2    }
 Копіювати

After the main function returns, release the lock.

Misc. functions

1    function getReserves() public view returns (uint112 _reserve0, uint112 _reserve1, uint32 _blockTimestampLast) {
2        _reserve0 = reserve0;
3        _reserve1 = reserve1;
4        _blockTimestampLast = blockTimestampLast;
5    }
 Копіювати

This function provides callers with the current state of the exchange. Notice that Solidity functions can return multiple values(opens in a new tab).

1    function _safeTransfer(address token, address to, uint value) private {
2        (bool success, bytes memory data) = token.call(abi.encodeWithSelector(SELECTOR, to, value));
 Копіювати

This internal function transfers an amount of ERC20 tokens from the exchange to somebody else. SELECTOR specifies that the function we are calling is transfer(address,uint) (see definition above).

To avoid having to import an interface for the token function, we "manually" create the call using one of the ABI functions(opens in a new tab).

1        require(success && (data.length == 0 || abi.decode(data, (bool))), 'UniswapV2: TRANSFER_FAILED');
2    }
 Копіювати

There are two ways in which an ERC-20 transfer call can report failure:

1. Revert. If a call to an external contract reverts, then the boolean return value is false
2. End normally but report a failure. In that case the return value buffer has a non-zero length, and when decoded as a boolean value it is false

If either of these conditions happen, revert.

Events

1    event Mint(address indexed sender, uint amount0, uint amount1);
2    event Burn(address indexed sender, uint amount0, uint amount1, address indexed to);
 Копіювати

These two events are emitted when a liquidity provider either deposits liquidity (Mint) or withdraws it (Burn). In either case, the amounts of token0 and token1 that are deposited or withdrawn are part of the event, as well as the identity of the account that called us (sender). In the case of a withdrawal, the event also includes the target that received the tokens (to), which may not be the same as the sender.

1    event Swap(
2        address indexed sender,
3        uint amount0In,
4        uint amount1In,
5        uint amount0Out,
6        uint amount1Out,
7        address indexed to
8    );
 Копіювати

This event is emitted when a trader swaps one token for the other. Again, the sender and the destination may not be the same. Each token may be either sent to the exchange, or received from it.

1    event Sync(uint112 reserve0, uint112 reserve1);
 Копіювати

Finally, Sync is emitted every time tokens are added or withdrawn, regardless of the reason, to provide the latest reserve information (and therefore the exchange rate).

Setup Functions

These functions are supposed to be called once when the new pair exchange is set up.

1    constructor() public {
2        factory = msg.sender;
3    }
 Копіювати

The constructor makes sure we'll keep track of the address of the factory that created the pair. This information is required for initialize and for the factory fee (if one exists)

1    // called once by the factory at time of deployment
2    function initialize(address _token0, address _token1) external {
3        require(msg.sender == factory, 'UniswapV2: FORBIDDEN'); // sufficient check
4        token0 = _token0;
5        token1 = _token1;
6    }
 Копіювати

This function allows the factory (and only the factory) to specify the two ERC-20 tokens that this pair will exchange.

Internal Update Functions

_update

1    // update reserves and, on the first call per block, price accumulators
2    function _update(uint balance0, uint balance1, uint112 _reserve0, uint112 _reserve1) private {
 Копіювати

This function is called every time tokens are deposited or withdrawn.

1        require(balance0 <= uint112(-1) && balance1 <= uint112(-1), 'UniswapV2: OVERFLOW');
 Копіювати

If either balance0 or balance1 (uint256) is higher than uint112(-1) (=2^112-1) (so it overflows & wraps back to 0 when converted to uint112) refuse to continue the _update to prevent overflows. With a normal token that can be subdivided into 10^18 units, this means each exchange is limited to about 5.1*10^15 of each tokens. So far that has not been a problem.

1        uint32 blockTimestamp = uint32(block.timestamp % 2**32);
2        uint32 timeElapsed = blockTimestamp - blockTimestampLast; // overflow is desired
3        if (timeElapsed > 0 && _reserve0 != 0 && _reserve1 != 0) {
 Копіювати

If the time elapsed is not zero, it means we are the first exchange transaction on this block. In that case, we need to update the cost accumulators.

1            // * never overflows, and + overflow is desired
2            price0CumulativeLast += uint(UQ112x112.encode(_reserve1).uqdiv(_reserve0)) * timeElapsed;
3            price1CumulativeLast += uint(UQ112x112.encode(_reserve0).uqdiv(_reserve1)) * timeElapsed;
4        }
 Копіювати

Each cost accumulator is updated with the latest cost (reserve of the other token/reserve of this token) times the elapsed time in seconds. To get an average price, you read the cumulative price in two points in time and divide by the time difference between them. For example, assume this sequence of events:

Let's say we want to calculate the average price of Token0 between the timestamps 5,030 and 5,150. The difference in the value of price0Cumulative is 143.702-29.07=114.632. This is the average across two minutes (120 seconds). So the average price is 114.632/120 = 0.955.

This price calculation is the reason we need to know the old reserve sizes.

1        reserve0 = uint112(balance0);
2        reserve1 = uint112(balance1);
3        blockTimestampLast = blockTimestamp;
4        emit Sync(reserve0, reserve1);
5    }
 Копіювати

Finally, update the global variables and emit a Sync event.

_mintFee

1    // if fee is on, mint liquidity equivalent to 1/6th of the growth in sqrt(k)
2    function _mintFee(uint112 _reserve0, uint112 _reserve1) private returns (bool feeOn) {
 Копіювати

In Uniswap 2.0 traders pay a 0.30% fee to use the market. Most of that fee (0.25% of the trade) always goes to the liquidity providers. The remaining 0.05% can go either to the liquidity providers or to an address specified by the factory as a protocol fee, which pays Uniswap for their development effort.

To reduce calculations (and therefore gas costs), this fee is only calculated when liquidity is added or removed from the pool, rather than at each transaction.

1        address feeTo = IUniswapV2Factory(factory).feeTo();
2        feeOn = feeTo != address(0);
 Копіювати

Read the fee destination of the factory. If it is zero then there is no protocol fee and no need to calculate it that fee.

1        uint _kLast = kLast; // gas savings
 Копіювати

The kLast state variable is located in storage, so it will have a value between different calls to the contract. Access to storage is a lot more expensive than access to the volatile memory that is released when the function call to the contract ends, so we use an internal variable to save on gas.

1        if (feeOn) {
2            if (_kLast != 0) {
 Копіювати

The liquidity providers get their cut simply by the appreciation of their liquidity tokens. But the protocol fee requires new liquidity tokens to be minted and provided to the feeTo address.

1                uint rootK = Math.sqrt(uint(_reserve0).mul(_reserve1));
2                uint rootKLast = Math.sqrt(_kLast);
3                if (rootK > rootKLast) {
 Копіювати

If there is new liquidity on which to collect a protocol fee. You can see the square root function later in this article

1                    uint numerator = totalSupply.mul(rootK.sub(rootKLast));
2                    uint denominator = rootK.mul(5).add(rootKLast);
3                    uint liquidity = numerator / denominator;
 Копіювати

This complicated calculation of fees is explained in the whitepaper(opens in a new tab) on page 5. We know that between the time kLast was calculated and the present no liquidity was added or removed (because we run this calculation every time liquidity is added or removed, before it actually changes), so any change in reserve0 * reserve1 has to come from transaction fees (without them we'd keep reserve0 * reserve1 constant).

1                    if (liquidity > 0) _mint(feeTo, liquidity);
2                }
3            }
 Копіювати

Use the UniswapV2ERC20._mint function to actually create the additional liquidity tokens and assign them to feeTo.

1        } else if (_kLast != 0) {
2            kLast = 0;
3        }
4    }
 Копіювати

If there is no fee set kLast to zero (if it isn't that already). When this contract was written there was a gas refund feature(opens in a new tab) that encouraged contracts to reduce the overall size of the Ethereum state by zeroing out storage they did not need. This code gets that refund when possible.

Externally Accessible Functions

Note that while any transaction or contract can call these functions, they are designed to be called from the periphery contract. If you call them directly you won't be able to cheat the pair exchange, but you might lose value through a mistake.

mint

1    // this low-level function should be called from a contract which performs important safety checks
2    function mint(address to) external lock returns (uint liquidity) {
 Копіювати

This function is called when a liquidity provider adds liquidity to the pool. It mints additional liquidity tokens as a reward. It should be called from a periphery contract that calls it after adding the liquidity in the same transaction (so nobody else would be able to submit a transaction that claims the new liquidity before the legitimate owner).

1        (uint112 _reserve0, uint112 _reserve1,) = getReserves(); // gas savings
 Копіювати

This is the way to read the results of a Solidity function that returns multiple values. We discard the last returned values, the block timestamp, because we don't need it.

1        uint balance0 = IERC20(token0).balanceOf(address(this));
2        uint balance1 = IERC20(token1).balanceOf(address(this));
3        uint amount0 = balance0.sub(_reserve0);
4        uint amount1 = balance1.sub(_reserve1);
 Копіювати

Get the current balances and see how much was added of each token type.

1        bool feeOn = _mintFee(_reserve0, _reserve1);
 Копіювати

Calculate the protocol fees to collect, if any, and mint liquidity tokens accordingly. Because the parameters to _mintFee are the old reserve values, the fee is calculated accurately based only on pool changes due to fees.

1        uint _totalSupply = totalSupply; // gas savings, must be defined here since totalSupply can update in _mintFee
2        if (_totalSupply == 0) {
3            liquidity = Math.sqrt(amount0.mul(amount1)).sub(MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY);
4           _mint(address(0), MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY); // permanently lock the first MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY tokens
 Копіювати

If this is the first deposit, create MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY tokens and send them to address zero to lock them. They can never be redeemed, which means the pool will never be emptied completely (this saves us from division by zero in some places). The value of MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY is a thousand, which considering most ERC-20 are subdivided into units of 10^-18'th of a token, as ETH is divided into wei, is 10^-15 to the value of a single token. Not a high cost.

In the time of the first deposit we don't know the relative value of the two tokens, so we just multiply the amounts and take a square root, assuming that the deposit provides us with equal value in both tokens.

We can trust this because it is in the depositor's interest to provide equal value, to avoid losing value to arbitrage. Let's say that the value of the two tokens is identical, but our depositor deposited four times as many of Token1 as of Token0. A trader can use the fact the pair exchange thinks that Token0 is more valuable to extract value out of it.

As you can see, the trader earned an extra 8 tokens, which come from a reduction in the value of the pool, hurting the depositor that owns it.

1        } else {
2            liquidity = Math.min(amount0.mul(_totalSupply) / _reserve0, amount1.mul(_totalSupply) / _reserve1);
 Копіювати

With every subsequent deposit we already know the exchange rate between the two assets, and we expect liquidity providers to provide equal value in both. If they don't, we give them liquidity tokens based on the lesser value they provided as a punishment.

Whether it is the initial deposit or a subsequent one, the number of liquidity tokens we provide is equal to the square root of the change in reserve0*reserve1 and the value of the liquidity token doesn't change (unless we get a deposit that doesn't have equal values of both types, in which case the "fine" gets distributed). Here is another example with two tokens that have the same value, with three good deposits and one bad one (deposit of only one token type, so it doesn't produce any liquidity tokens).

1        }
2        require(liquidity > 0, 'UniswapV2: INSUFFICIENT_LIQUIDITY_MINTED');
3        _mint(to, liquidity);
 Копіювати

Use the UniswapV2ERC20._mint function to actually create the additional liquidity tokens and give them to the correct account.

1
2        _update(balance0, balance1, _reserve0, _reserve1);
3        if (feeOn) kLast = uint(reserve0).mul(reserve1); // reserve0 and reserve1 are up-to-date
4        emit Mint(msg.sender, amount0, amount1);
5    }
 Копіювати

Update the state variables (reserve0, reserve1, and if needed kLast) and emit the appropriate event.

burn

1    // this low-level function should be called from a contract which performs important safety checks
2    function burn(address to) external lock returns (uint amount0, uint amount1) {
 Копіювати

This function is called when liquidity is withdrawn and the appropriate liquidity tokens need to be burned. It should also be called from a periphery account.

1        (uint112 _reserve0, uint112 _reserve1,) = getReserves(); // gas savings
2        address _token0 = token0;                                // gas savings
3        address _token1 = token1;                                // gas savings
4        uint balance0 = IERC20(_token0).balanceOf(address(this));
5        uint balance1 = IERC20(_token1).balanceOf(address(this));
6        uint liquidity = balanceOf[address(this)];
 Копіювати

The periphery contract transferred the liquidity to be burned to this contract before the call. That way we know how much liquidity to burn, and we can make sure that it gets burned.

1        bool feeOn = _mintFee(_reserve0, _reserve1);
2        uint _totalSupply = totalSupply; // gas savings, must be defined here since totalSupply can update in _mintFee
3        amount0 = liquidity.mul(balance0) / _totalSupply; // using balances ensures pro-rata distribution
4        amount1 = liquidity.mul(balance1) / _totalSupply; // using balances ensures pro-rata distribution
5        require(amount0 > 0 && amount1 > 0, 'UniswapV2: INSUFFICIENT_LIQUIDITY_BURNED');
 Копіювати

The liquidity provider receives equal value of both tokens. This way we don't change the exchange rate.

1        _burn(address(this), liquidity);
2        _safeTransfer(_token0, to, amount0);
3        _safeTransfer(_token1, to, amount1);
4        balance0 = IERC20(_token0).balanceOf(address(this));
5        balance1 = IERC20(_token1).balanceOf(address(this));
6
7        _update(balance0, balance1, _reserve0, _reserve1);
8        if (feeOn) kLast = uint(reserve0).mul(reserve1); // reserve0 and reserve1 are up-to-date
9        emit Burn(msg.sender, amount0, amount1, to);
10    }
11

The rest of the burn function is the mirror image of the mint function above.

swap

1    // this low-level function should be called from a contract which performs important safety checks
2    function swap(uint amount0Out, uint amount1Out, address to, bytes calldata data) external lock {
 Копіювати

This function is also supposed to be called from a periphery contract.

1        require(amount0Out > 0 || amount1Out > 0, 'UniswapV2: INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT');
2        (uint112 _reserve0, uint112 _reserve1,) = getReserves(); // gas savings
3        require(amount0Out < _reserve0 && amount1Out < _reserve1, 'UniswapV2: INSUFFICIENT_LIQUIDITY');
4
5        uint balance0;
6        uint balance1;

Local variables can be stored either in memory or, if there aren't too many of them, directly on the stack. If we can limit the number so we'll use the stack we use less gas. For more details see the yellow paper, the formal Ethereum specifications(opens in a new tab), p. 26, equation 298.

1            address _token0 = token0;
2            address _token1 = token1;
3            require(to != _token0 && to != _token1, 'UniswapV2: INVALID_TO');
4            if (amount0Out > 0) _safeTransfer(_token0, to, amount0Out); // optimistically transfer tokens
5            if (amount1Out > 0) _safeTransfer(_token1, to, amount1Out); // optimistically transfer tokens
 Копіювати

This transfer is optimistic, because we transfer before we are sure all the conditions are met. This is OK in Ethereum because if the conditions aren't met later in the call we revert out of it and any changes it created.

1            if (data.length > 0) IUniswapV2Callee(to).uniswapV2Call(msg.sender, amount0Out, amount1Out, data);

Inform the receiver about the swap if requested.

1            balance0 = IERC20(_token0).balanceOf(address(this));
2            balance1 = IERC20(_token1).balanceOf(address(this));
3        }
 Копіювати

Get the current balances. The periphery contract sends us the tokens before calling us for the swap. This makes it easy for the contract to check that it is not being cheated, a check that has to happen in the core contract (because we can be called by other entities than our periphery contract).

1        uint amount0In = balance0 > _reserve0 - amount0Out ? balance0 - (_reserve0 - amount0Out) : 0;
2        uint amount1In = balance1 > _reserve1 - amount1Out ? balance1 - (_reserve1 - amount1Out) : 0;
3        require(amount0In > 0 || amount1In > 0, 'UniswapV2: INSUFFICIENT_INPUT_AMOUNT');
4        { // scope for reserve{0,1}Adjusted, avoids stack too deep errors
5            uint balance0Adjusted = balance0.mul(1000).sub(amount0In.mul(3));
6            uint balance1Adjusted = balance1.mul(1000).sub(amount1In.mul(3));
7            require(balance0Adjusted.mul(balance1Adjusted) >= uint(_reserve0).mul(_reserve1).mul(1000**2), 'UniswapV2: K');
 Копіювати

This is a sanity check to make sure we don't lose from the swap. There is no circumstance in which a swap should reduce reserve0*reserve1. This is also where we ensure a fee of 0.3% is being sent on the swap; before sanity checking the value of K, we multiply both balances by 1000 subtracted by the amounts multiplied by 3, this means 0.3% (3/1000 = 0.003 = 0.3%) is being deducted from the balance before comparing its K value with the current reserves K value.

1        }
2
3        _update(balance0, balance1, _reserve0, _reserve1);
4        emit Swap(msg.sender, amount0In, amount1In, amount0Out, amount1Out, to);
5    }
 Копіювати

Update reserve0 and reserve1, and if necessary the price accumulators and the timestamp and emit an event.

Sync or Skim

It is possible for the real balances to get out of sync with the reserves that the pair exchange thinks it has. There is no way to withdraw tokens without the contract's consent, but deposits are a different matter. An account can transfer tokens to the exchange without calling either mint or swap.

In that case there are two solutions:

• sync, update the reserves to the current balances
• skim, withdraw the extra amount. Note that any account is allowed to call skim because we don't know who deposited the tokens. This information is emitted in an event, but events are not accessible from the blockchain.

1    // force balances to match reserves
2    function skim(address to) external lock {
3        address _token0 = token0; // gas savings
4        address _token1 = token1; // gas savings
5        _safeTransfer(_token0, to, IERC20(_token0).balanceOf(address(this)).sub(reserve0));
6        _safeTransfer(_token1, to, IERC20(_token1).balanceOf(address(this)).sub(reserve1));

UniswapV2Factory.sol

This contract(opens in a new tab) creates the pair exchanges.

1pragma solidity =0.5.16;
2
3import './interfaces/IUniswapV2Factory.sol';
4import './UniswapV2Pair.sol';
5
6contract UniswapV2Factory is IUniswapV2Factory {
7    address public feeTo;
8    address public feeToSetter;
 Копіювати

These state variables are necessary to implement the protocol fee (see the whitepaper(opens in a new tab), p. 5). The feeTo address accumulates the liquidity tokens for the protocol fee, and feeToSetter is the address allowed to change feeTo to a different address.

1    mapping(address => mapping(address => address)) public getPair;
2    address[] public allPairs;
 Копіювати

These variables keep track of the pairs, the exchanges between two token types.

The first one, getPair, is a mapping that identifies a pair exchange contract based on the two ERC-20 tokens it exchanges. ERC-20 tokens are identified by the addresses of the contracts that implement them, so the keys and the value are all addresses. To get the address of the pair exchange that lets you convert from tokenA to tokenB, you use getPair[<tokenA address>][<tokenB address>] (or the other way around).

The second variable, allPairs, is an array that includes all the addresses of pair exchanges created by this factory. In Ethereum you cannot iterate over the content of a mapping, or get a list of all the keys, so this variable is the only way to know which exchanges this factory manages.

Note: The reason you cannot iterate over all the keys of a mapping is that contract data storage is expensive, so the less of it we use the better, and the less often we change it the better. You can create mappings that support iteration(opens in a new tab), but they require extra storage for a list of keys. In most applications you do not need that.

1    event PairCreated(address indexed token0, address indexed token1, address pair, uint);
 Копіювати

This event is emitted when a new pair exchange is created. It includes the tokens' addresses, the pair exchange's address, and the total number of exchanges managed by the factory.

1    constructor(address _feeToSetter) public {
2        feeToSetter = _feeToSetter;
3    }
 Копіювати

The only thing the constructor does is specify the feeToSetter. Factories start without a fee, and only feeSetter can change that.

1    function allPairsLength() external view returns (uint) {
2        return allPairs.length;
3    }
 Копіювати

This function returns the number of exchange pairs.

1    function createPair(address tokenA, address tokenB) external returns (address pair) {
 Копіювати

This is the main function of the factory, to create a pair exchange between two ERC-20 tokens. Note that anybody can call this function. You do not need permission from Uniswap to create a new pair exchange.

1        require(tokenA != tokenB, 'UniswapV2: IDENTICAL_ADDRESSES');
2        (address token0, address token1) = tokenA < tokenB ? (tokenA, tokenB) : (tokenB, tokenA);
 Копіювати

We want the address of the new exchange to be deterministic, so it can be calculated in advance off chain (this can be useful for layer 2 transactions). To do this we need to have a consistent order of the token addresses, regardless of the order in which we have received them, so we sort them here.

1        require(token0 != address(0), 'UniswapV2: ZERO_ADDRESS');
2        require(getPair[token0][token1] == address(0), 'UniswapV2: PAIR_EXISTS'); // single check is sufficient
 Копіювати

Large liquidity pools are better than small ones, because they have more stable prices. We don't want to have more than a single liquidity pool per pair of tokens. If there is already an exchange, there's no need to create another one for the same pair.

1        bytes memory bytecode = type(UniswapV2Pair).creationCode;
 Копіювати

To create a new contract we need the code that creates it (both the constructor function and code that writes to memory the EVM bytecode of the actual contract). Normally in Solidity we just use addr = new <name of contract>(<constructor parameters>) and the compiler takes care of everything for us, but to have a deterministic contract address we need to use the CREATE2 opcode(opens in a new tab). When this code was written that opcode was not yet supported by Solidity, so it was necessary to manually get the code. This is no longer an issue, because Solidity now supports CREATE2(opens in a new tab).

1        bytes32 salt = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(token0, token1));
2        assembly {
3            pair := create2(0, add(bytecode, 32), mload(bytecode), salt)
4        }
 Копіювати

When an opcode is not supported by Solidity yet we can call it using inline assembly(opens in a new tab).

1        IUniswapV2Pair(pair).initialize(token0, token1);

Call the initialize function to tell the new exchange what two tokens it exchanges.

1        getPair[token0][token1] = pair;
2        getPair[token1][token0] = pair; // populate mapping in the reverse direction
3        allPairs.push(pair);
4        emit PairCreated(token0, token1, pair, allPairs.length);
5    }
 Копіювати

Save the new pair information in the state variables and emit an event to inform the world of the new pair exchange.

These two functions allow feeSetter to control the fee recipient (if any), and to change feeSetter to a new address.

UniswapV2ERC20.sol

This contract(opens in a new tab) implements the ERC-20 liquidity token. It is similar to the OpenZeppelin ERC-20 contract, so I will only explain the part that is different, the permit functionality.

Transactions on Ethereum cost ether (ETH), which is equivalent to real money. If you have ERC-20 tokens but not ETH, you can't send transactions, so you can't do anything with them. One solution to avoid this problem is meta-transactions(opens in a new tab). The owner of the tokens signs a transaction that allows somebody else to withdraw tokens off chain and sends it using the Internet to the recipient. The recipient, which does have ETH, then submits the permit on behalf of the owner.

1    bytes32 public DOMAIN_SEPARATOR;
2    // keccak256("Permit(address owner,address spender,uint256 value,uint256 nonce,uint256 deadline)");
3    bytes32 public constant PERMIT_TYPEHASH = 0x6e71edae12b1b97f4d1f60370fef10105fa2faae0126114a169c64845d6126c9;
 Копіювати

This hash is the identifier for the transaction type(opens in a new tab). The only one we support here is Permit with these parameters.

1    mapping(address => uint) public nonces;
 Копіювати

It is not feasible for a recipient to fake a digital signature. However, it is trivial to send the same transaction twice (this is a form of replay attack(opens in a new tab)). To prevent this, we use a nonce(opens in a new tab). If the nonce of a new Permit is not one more than the last one used, we assume it is invalid.

1    constructor() public {
2        uint chainId;
3        assembly {
4            chainId := chainid
5        }
 Копіювати

This is the code to retrieve the chain identifier(opens in a new tab). It uses an EVM assembly dialect called Yul(opens in a new tab). Note that in the current version of Yul you have to use chainid(), not chainid.

1        DOMAIN_SEPARATOR = keccak256(
2            abi.encode(
3                keccak256('EIP712Domain(string name,string version,uint256 chainId,address verifyingContract)'),
4                keccak256(bytes(name)),
5                keccak256(bytes('1')),
6                chainId,
7                address(this)

Calculate the domain separator(opens in a new tab) for EIP-712.

1    function permit(address owner, address spender, uint value, uint deadline, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) external {
 Копіювати

This is the function that implements the permissions. It receives as parameters the relevant fields, and the three scalar values for the signature(opens in a new tab) (v, r, and s).

1        require(deadline >= block.timestamp, 'UniswapV2: EXPIRED');
 Копіювати

Don't accept transactions after the deadline.

1        bytes32 digest = keccak256(
2            abi.encodePacked(
3                '\x19\x01',
4                DOMAIN_SEPARATOR,
5                keccak256(abi.encode(PERMIT_TYPEHASH, owner, spender, value, nonces[owner]++, deadline))
6            )
7        );
 Копіювати

abi.encodePacked(...) is the message we expect to get. We know what the nonce should be, so there is no need for us to get it as a parameter.

The Ethereum signature algorithm expects to get 256 bits to sign, so we use the keccak256 hash function.

1        address recoveredAddress = ecrecover(digest, v, r, s);
 Копіювати

From the digest and the signature we can get the address that signed it using ecrecover(opens in a new tab).

1        require(recoveredAddress != address(0) && recoveredAddress == owner, 'UniswapV2: INVALID_SIGNATURE');
2        _approve(owner, spender, value);

If everything is OK, treat this as an ERC-20 approve(opens in a new tab).

The Periphery Contracts

The periphery contracts are the API (application program interface) for Uniswap. They are available for external calls, either from other contracts or decentralized applications. You could call the core contracts directly, but that's more complicated and you might lose value if you make a mistake. The core contracts only contain tests to make sure they aren't cheated, not sanity checks for anybody else. Those are in the periphery so they can be updated as needed.

UniswapV2Router01.sol

This contract(opens in a new tab) has problems, and should no longer be used(opens in a new tab). Luckily, the periphery contracts are stateless and don't hold any assets, so it is easy to deprecate it and suggest people use the replacement, UniswapV2Router02, instead.

UniswapV2Router02.sol

In most cases you would use Uniswap through this contract(opens in a new tab). You can see how to use it here(opens in a new tab).

Most of these we either encountered before, or are fairly obvious. The one exception is IWETH.sol. Uniswap v2 allows exchanges for any pair of ERC-20 tokens, but ether (ETH) itself isn't an ERC-20 token. It predates the standard and is transferred by unique mechanisms. To enable the use of ETH in contracts that apply to ERC-20 tokens people came up with the wrapped ether (WETH)(opens in a new tab) contract. You send this contract ETH, and it mints you an equivalent amount of WETH. Or you can burn WETH, and get ETH back.

1contract UniswapV2Router02 is IUniswapV2Router02 {
2    using SafeMath for uint;
3
4    address public immutable override factory;
5    address public immutable override WETH;
 Копіювати

The router needs to know what factory to use, and for transactions that require WETH what WETH contract to use. These values are immutable(opens in a new tab), meaning they can only be set in the constructor. This gives users the confidence that nobody would be able to change them to point to less honest contracts.

1    modifier ensure(uint deadline) {
2        require(deadline >= block.timestamp, 'UniswapV2Router: EXPIRED');
3        _;

This modifier makes sure that time limited transactions ("do X before time Y if you can") don't happen after their time limit.

1    constructor(address _factory, address _WETH) public {
2        factory = _factory;
3        WETH = _WETH;

The constructor just sets the immutable state variables.

1    receive() external payable {
2        assert(msg.sender == WETH); // only accept ETH via fallback from the WETH contract
3    }
 Копіювати

This function is called when we redeem tokens from the WETH contract back into ETH. Only the WETH contract we use is authorized to do that.

Add Liquidity

These functions add tokens to the pair exchange, which increases the liquidity pool.

1
2    // **** ADD LIQUIDITY ****
3    function _addLiquidity(
 Копіювати

This function is used to calculate the amount of A and B tokens that should be deposited into the pair exchange.

1        address tokenA,
2        address tokenB,
 Копіювати

These are the addresses of the ERC-20 token contracts.

1        uint amountADesired,
2        uint amountBDesired,
 Копіювати

These are the amounts the liquidity provider wants to deposit. They are also the maximum amounts of A and B to be deposited.

1        uint amountAMin,
2        uint amountBMin
 Копіювати

These are the minimum acceptable amounts to deposit. If the transaction cannot take place with these amounts or more, revert out of it. If you don't want this feature, just specify zero.

Liquidity providers specify a minimum, typically, because they want to limit the transaction to an exchange rate that is close to the current one. If the exchange rate fluctuates too much it might mean news that change the underlying values, and they want to decide manually what to do.

For example, imagine a case where the exchange rate is one to one and the liquidity provider specifies these values:

As long as the exchange rate stays between 0.9 and 1.25, the transaction takes place. If the exchange rate gets out of that range, the transaction gets cancelled.

The reason for this precaution is that transactions are not immediate, you submit them and eventually a validator is going to include them in a block (unless your gas price is very low, in which case you'll need to submit another transaction with the same nonce and a higher gas price to overwrite it). You cannot control what happens during the interval between submission and inclusion.

1    ) internal virtual returns (uint amountA, uint amountB) {
 Копіювати

The function returns the amounts the liquidity provider should deposit to have a ratio equal to the current ratio between reserves.

1        // create the pair if it doesn't exist yet
2        if (IUniswapV2Factory(factory).getPair(tokenA, tokenB) == address(0)) {
3            IUniswapV2Factory(factory).createPair(tokenA, tokenB);
4        }

If there is no exchange for this token pair yet, create it.

Get the current reserves in the pair.

1        if (reserveA == 0 && reserveB == 0) {
2            (amountA, amountB) = (amountADesired, amountBDesired);
 Копіювати

If the current reserves are empty then this is a new pair exchange. The amounts to be deposited should be exactly the same as those the liquidity provider wants to provide.

1        } else {
2            uint amountBOptimal = UniswapV2Library.quote(amountADesired, reserveA, reserveB);
 Копіювати

If we need to see what amounts will be, we get the optimal amount using this function(opens in a new tab). We want the same ratio as the current reserves.

1            if (amountBOptimal <= amountBDesired) {
2                require(amountBOptimal >= amountBMin, 'UniswapV2Router: INSUFFICIENT_B_AMOUNT');
3                (amountA, amountB) = (amountADesired, amountBOptimal);
 Копіювати

If amountBOptimal is smaller than the amount the liquidity provider wants to deposit it means that token B is more valuable currently than the liquidity depositor thinks, so a smaller amount is required.

1            } else {
2                uint amountAOptimal = UniswapV2Library.quote(amountBDesired, reserveB, reserveA);
3                assert(amountAOptimal <= amountADesired);
4                require(amountAOptimal >= amountAMin, 'UniswapV2Router: INSUFFICIENT_A_AMOUNT');
5                (amountA, amountB) = (amountAOptimal, amountBDesired);
 Копіювати

If the optimal B amount is more than the desired B amount it means B tokens are less valuable currently than the liquidity depositor thinks, so a higher amount is required. However, the desired amount is a maximum, so we cannot do that. Instead we calculate the optimal number of A tokens for the desired amount of B tokens.

Putting it all together we get this graph. Assume you're trying to deposit a thousand A tokens (blue line) and a thousand B tokens (red line). The x axis is the exchange rate, A/B. If x=1, they are equal in value and you deposit a thousand of each. If x=2, A is twice the value of B (you get two B tokens for each A token) so you deposit a thousand B tokens, but only 500 A tokens. If x=0.5, the situation is reversed, a thousand A tokens and five hundred B tokens.

You could deposit liquidity directly into the core contract (using UniswapV2Pair::mint(opens in a new tab)), but the core contract only checks that it is not getting cheated itself, so you run the risk of losing value if the exchange rate changes between the time you submit your transaction and the time it is executed. If you use the periphery contract, it figures the amount you should deposit and deposits it immediately, so the exchange rate doesn't change and you don't lose anything.

This function can be called by a transaction to deposit liquidity. Most parameters are the same as in _addLiquidity above, with two exceptions:

. to is the address that gets the new liquidity tokens minted to show the liquidity provider's portion of the pool . deadline is a time limit on the transaction

1    ) external virtual override ensure(deadline) returns (uint amountA, uint amountB, uint liquidity) {

3        address pair = UniswapV2Library.pairFor(factory, tokenA, tokenB);
 Копіювати

We calculate the amounts to actually deposit and then find the address of the liquidity pool. To save gas we don't do this by asking the factory, but using the library function pairFor (see below in libraries)

2        TransferHelper.safeTransferFrom(tokenB, msg.sender, pair, amountB);

3        uint amountTokenDesired,
 Копіювати

When a liquidity provider wants to provide liquidity to a Token/ETH pair exchange, there are a few differences. The contract handles wrapping the ETH for the liquidity provider. There is no need to specify how many ETH the user wants to deposit, because the user just sends them with the transaction (the amount is available in msg.value).

1        uint amountTokenMin,
2        uint amountETHMin,
3        address to,
4        uint deadline
5    ) external virtual override payable ensure(deadline) returns (uint amountToken, uint amountETH, uint liquidity) {
6        (amountToken, amountETH) = _addLiquidity(
7            token,
8            WETH,
9            amountTokenDesired,
10            msg.value,
11            amountTokenMin,
12            amountETHMin
13        );
14        address pair = UniswapV2Library.pairFor(factory, token, WETH);
15        TransferHelper.safeTransferFrom(token, msg.sender, pair, amountToken);
16        IWETH(WETH).deposit{value: amountETH}();
17        assert(IWETH(WETH).transfer(pair, amountETH));

 Копіювати

To deposit the ETH the contract first wraps it into WETH and then transfers the WETH into the pair. Notice that the transfer is wrapped in an assert. This means that if the transfer fails this contract call also fails, and therefore the wrapping doesn't really happen.

The user has already sent us the ETH, so if there is any extra left over (because the other token is less valuable than the user thought), we need to issue a refund.

Remove Liquidity

These functions will remove liquidity and pay back the liquidity provider.

1    // **** REMOVE LIQUIDITY ****
2    function removeLiquidity(
3        address tokenA,
4        address tokenB,
5        uint liquidity,
6        uint amountAMin,
7        uint amountBMin,
8        address to,
9        uint deadline
10    ) public virtual override ensure(deadline) returns (uint amountA, uint amountB) {

The simplest case of removing liquidity. There is a minimum amount of each token the liquidity provider agrees to accept, and it must happen before the deadline.

1        address pair = UniswapV2Library.pairFor(factory, tokenA, tokenB);
2        IUniswapV2Pair(pair).transferFrom(msg.sender, pair, liquidity); // send liquidity to pair
3        (uint amount0, uint amount1) = IUniswapV2Pair(pair).burn(to);

The core contract's burn function handles paying the user back the tokens.

1        (address token0,) = UniswapV2Library.sortTokens(tokenA, tokenB);

When a function returns multiple values, but we are only interested in some of them, this is how we only get those values. It is somewhat cheaper in gas terms than reading a value and never using it.

1        (amountA, amountB) = tokenA == token0 ? (amount0, amount1) : (amount1, amount0);
 Копіювати

Translate the amounts from the way the core contract returns them (lower address token first) to the way the user expects them (corresponding to tokenA and tokenB).

1        require(amountA >= amountAMin, 'UniswapV2Router: INSUFFICIENT_A_AMOUNT');
2        require(amountB >= amountBMin, 'UniswapV2Router: INSUFFICIENT_B_AMOUNT');
3    }

It is OK to do the transfer first and then verify it is legitimate, because if it isn't we'll revert out of all the state changes.

1    function removeLiquidityETH(
2        address token,
3        uint liquidity,
4        uint amountTokenMin,
5        uint amountETHMin,
6        address to,
7        uint deadline
8    ) public virtual override ensure(deadline) returns (uint amountToken, uint amountETH) {
9        (amountToken, amountETH) = removeLiquidity(
10            token,
11            WETH,
12            liquidity,
13            amountTokenMin,
14            amountETHMin,
15            address(this),
16            deadline
17        );
18        TransferHelper.safeTransfer(token, to, amountToken);
19        IWETH(WETH).withdraw(amountETH);
20        TransferHelper.safeTransferETH(to, amountETH);

Remove liquidity for ETH is almost the same, except that we receive the WETH tokens and then redeem them for ETH to give back to the liquidity provider.

These functions relay meta-transactions to allow users without ether to withdraw from the pool, using the permit mechanism.

This function can be used for tokens that have transfer or storage fees. When a token has such fees we cannot rely on the removeLiquidity function to tell us how much of the token we get back, so we need to withdraw first and then get the balance.

As I'm writing this there are 388,160 ERC-20 tokens(opens in a new tab). If there was a pair exchange for each token pair, it would be over a 150 billion pair exchanges. The entire chain, at the moment, only has 0.1% that number of accounts(opens in a new tab). Instead, the swap functions support the concept of a path. A trader can exchange A for B, B for C, and C for D, so there is no need for a direct A-D pair exchange.

The prices on these markets tend to be synchronized, because when they are out of sync it creates an opportunity for arbitrage. Imagine, for example, three tokens, A, B, and C. There are three pair exchanges, one for each pair.

1. The initial situation
2. A trader sells 24.695 A tokens and gets 25.305 B tokens.
3. The trader sells 24.695 B tokens for 25.305 C tokens, keeping approximately 0.61 B tokens as profit.
4. Then the trader sells 24.695 C tokens for 25.305 A tokens, keeping approximately 0.61 C tokens as profit. The trader also has 0.61 extra A tokens (the 25.305 the trader ends up with, minus the original investment of 24.695).

Get the pair we are currently handling, sort it (for use with the pair) and get the expected output amount.

Is this the last exchange? If so, send the tokens received for the trade to the destination. If not, send it to the next pair exchange.
