Release notes

v0.3.0

• Add Rate Limiter for APIs using credits, CUPS or request units, as well as number of requests per time unit.
  • Use credit-rate-limit under the hood.
  • Remove eth_call from the methods that are automatically verified by web3 (to prevent surges of useless eth_chainId)
• Add support for Python 3.12 & 3.13
• Add support for web3.py v7
• Miscellaneous fixes/updates for tests and linting

Overview

When swapping, it is not straightforward to be sure to get the best deal: with several V2 and V3 pools, and 2 or 3 tokens per path, there may be quite a few routes to perform a swap.

The object of this library is to find the path(s), from v2 and v3 pools, to swap with the best price, and to return it/them in order to be used directly with the Universal Router codec, along with a percentage to know how to divide the amount between them if there is more than one result.

⚠ To prevent surges of useless eth_chainId, eth_call is removed from the methods that are automatically verified by web3. ⚠ This tool does not replace your own due diligence to find the best price/path to swap any token.

Installation

A good practice is to use Python virtual environments, here is a tutorial.

The library can be pip installed from pypi.org as usual:

# update pip to latest version if needed
pip install -U pip

# install the decoder from pypi.org
pip install uniswap-smart-path

---

Usage

The library exposes a class, SmartPath with a public method get_swap_in_path() that can be used to find the best path/price. For performance's sake, it is asynchronous. Currently, it supports only the Ethereum blockchain.

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath

smart_path = await SmartPath.create(async_w3)  # where async_w3 is your AsyncWeb3 instance
path = await smart_path.get_swap_in_path(amount_in_wei, token0_address, token1_address)

You can also create the SmartPath instance from a rpc endpoint:

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath

smart_path = await SmartPath.create(rpc_endpoint=rpc_endpoint)

V2 or V3 pools only

The factory method SmartPath.create_v2_only() can be used to create a SmartPath instance that will look for the best path in V2 pools only. Currently, it supports only the Ethereum blockchain.

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath

smart_path = await SmartPath.create_v2_only(rpc_endpoint=rpc_endpoint)  # could also use an AsyncWeb3 instance i/o rpc

Same thing if you wish to look into V3 pools only, just use SmartPath.create_v3_only() Currently, it supports only the Ethereum blockchain.

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath

smart_path = await SmartPath.create_v3_only(rpc_endpoint=rpc_endpoint)  # could also use an AsyncWeb3 instance i/o rpc

Custom pools and blockchains

A custom SmartPath can be created with the factory method SmartPath.create_custom()

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath

pivot_tokens = (wbnb_address, usdt_address, usdc_address, dai_address)  # BSC addresses
v3_pool_fees = (100, 500, 2500, 10000)  # Pancakeswap v3 fees

smart_path = await SmartPath.create_custom(
        w3,  # BSC AsyncWeb3 instance
        pivot_tokens=pivot_tokens,
        v3_pool_fees=v3_pool_fees,
        v2_router=pancakeswapv2_address,
        v2_factory=pancakeswapv2_factory,
        v3_quoter=pancakeswapv3_quoter_address,
        v3_factory=pancakeswapv3_factory,
    )

Using a Rate Limiter

It's possible to manage rate limits, though only API calls used to compute the paths are rate limited. (Only the RPC method eth_call is concerned)

API calls performed to create the SmartPath objects are not rate limited. Both eth_call and chain_id are involved in these creations.

Credit Rate Limit

For APIs that use credits, computation unit per second (CUPS) or request units:

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath, SmartRateLimiter

# Define a credit limiter allowing 300 credits per second.
# The method 'eth_call' costs 20 credits.
credit_limiter = SmartRateLimiter(interval=1, max_credits=300, method_credits={"eth_call": 20})
smart_path = await SmartPath.create(w3, smart_rate_limiter=credit_limiter)

Note that only the eth_call method is needed at the moment.

Count Rate Limit

For APIs that just count the number of requests per time unit:

from uniswap_smart_path import SmartPath, SmartRateLimiter

# Define a count limiter allowing 5 requests per second.
count_limiter = SmartRateLimiter(interval=1, max_count=5)
smart_path = await SmartPath.create(w3, smart_rate_limiter=count_limiter)

Result

Examples of output paths that you can use with the UR codec to encode a transaction.

Single path

(
    {
        'path': ('0xD533a949740bb3306d119CC777fa900bA034cd52', 3000, '0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2', 3000, '0x9f8F72aA9304c8B593d555F12eF6589cC3A579A2'),
        'function': 'V3_SWAP_EXACT_IN',
        'weight': 100,
        'estimate': 128331138758276360764
    },
)

Multi path

Here, 90% of the amount should be swapped on a V3 pool and 10% on a V2 pool, all that in a single transaction using the UR codec.

        'path': ('0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984', '0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2'),
