Uniswap V3 estimate ammount out

Question

am using Uniswap V3: Router 2 swapExactTokensForTokens to make simple swaps, eg swap usdc to weth.

The issue am facing is in every and each example found online amountOutMin is defined to 0 , which allows 100% slippage and is not good.

encodeFunctionData("swapExactTokensForTokens",[ammount,"0",[token,"0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2"],public_key])

I have not found solution for this that would not require me to use uniswap sdk. Which is pointless since am doing this in pure js.

• note ammount is in token native decimal

To do this you need to:

1. Query the right pool from uniswap factory 0x1F98431c8aD98523631AE4a59f267346ea31F984 , use 1% fee (10000)
2. Query price from the pool using the slot0 function, this returns price
3. price = (sqrtPriceX96 ** 2 / 2 ** 192)
4. min_received = (ammount*(sqrtPriceX96 ** 2 / 2 ** 192))*0.9 (for 10% slippage)

• this should return value in decimals of token you are trying to swap to This works but not for tokens with 6 decimals ? huh

Am i missing smt ?

For example in this pool the price should equal 820000000000000wei which is 0.00082 or 1USD at the time

https://etherscan.io/address/0xC5aF84701f98Fa483eCe78aF83F11b6C38ACA71D#readContract

But it equals 1.2235422586602433e-9 or 0.0000000012235422586602433

is this issue in fetching the pool in first place or i need to add decimals calculation

SOLUTION:

-check token0 in given pool, if it is the currency you want output in, use:

2 ** 192 / sqrtPriceX96 ** 2 * 10 ** (decimals1-decimals0)

-if token 1 is currency you want output in, use:

sqrtPriceX96 ** 2 / 2 ** 192 * 10** (decimals1-decimals0)

Answer 1

So it looks like you read the "sqrtPriceX96" by querying the "slot0" function on the pair contract, then you call the "swap" method on the pair contract. this takes recipient, a true or false which indicated which way you are swapping, the amount, and the "sqrtPriceX96". It also looks like they have a "Quoter" contract that gives you the amount out for the frontend I assume.
