Readme
A JavaScript SDK which provides commonly used utilties for interacting with Balancer Protocol V2.
In order to run the examples provided, you need to follow the next steps:
git clone https://github.com/balancer-labs/balancer-sdk.git
cd balancer-sdk
cd balancer-js
Create a .env file in the balancer-js folder
In the .env file you will need to define and initialize the following variables
We have defined both Alchemy and Infura, because some of the examples use Infura, others use Alchemy. However, feel free to modify accordingly and use your favourite one.
ALCHEMY_URL=[ALCHEMY HTTPS ENDPOINT]
INFURA=[Infura API KEY]
TRADER_KEY=[MetaMask PRIVATE KEY]
Some examples also require the following Tenderly config parameters to be defined:
TENDERLY_ACCESS_KEY=[TENDERLY API ACCESS KEY]
TENDERLY_PROJECT=[TENDERLY PROJECT NAME]
TENDERLY_USER=[TENDERLY USERNAME]
Run 'npm run node', this runs a local Hardhat Network
Open a new terminal
cd to balancer-js
Install ts-node using: npm install ts-node
Install tsconfig-paths using: npm install --save-dev tsconfig-paths
Generate contracts using: npm run typechain:generate
Run one of the provided examples (eg: npm run examples:run -- examples/join.ts)
import { BalancerSDK, BalancerSdkConfig, Network } from '@balancer-labs/sdk';
const config: BalancerSdkConfig = {
network: Network.MAINNET,
rpcUrl: `https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/${process.env.INFURA}`,
};
const balancer = new BalancerSDK(config);
In some examples we present a way to make end to end trades against mainnet state. To run them you will need to setup a localhost test node using tools like ganache, hardhat, anvil.
Installation instructions for:
To start a MAINNET forked node:
ALCHEMY_URL=[ALCHEMY HTTPS ENDPOINT for MAINNET]npm run nodeTo start a GOERLI forked node:
ALCHEMY_URL_GOERLI=[ALCHEMY HTTPS ENDPOINT for GOERLI]npm run node:goerliAnvil - use with caution, still experimental.
To start a forked node:
anvil -f FORKABLE_RPC_URL (optional pinned block: --fork-block-number XXX)
Exposes complete functionality for token swapping. An example of using the module with data fetched from the subgraph:
// Uses SOR to find optimal route for a trading pair and amount
const route = balancer.swaps.findRouteGivenIn({
tokenIn,
tokenOut,
amount,
gasPrice,
maxPools,
});
// Prepares transaction attributes based on the route
const transactionAttributes = balancer.swaps.buildSwap({
userAddress,
swapInfo: route,
kind: 0, // 0 - givenIn, 1 - givenOut
deadline,
maxSlippage,
});
// Extract parameters required for sendTransaction
const { to, data, value } = transactionAttributes;
// Execution with ethers.js
const transactionResponse = await signer.sendTransaction({ to, data, value });
The SwapsService provides function to query and make swaps using Balancer V2 liquidity.
const swaps = new swapService({
network: Network;
rpcUrl: string;
});
You can run each example with npm run examples:run -- examples/exampleName.ts
The Balancer Vault provides a method to simulate a call to batchSwap. This function performs no checks on the sender or recipient or token balances or approvals. Note that this function is not 'view' (due to implementation details): the client code must explicitly execute eth_call instead of eth_sendTransaction.
@param batchSwap - BatchSwap information used for query.
@param batchSwap.kind - either exactIn or exactOut.
@param batchSwap.swaps - sequence of swaps.
@param batchSwap.assets - array contains the addresses of all assets involved in the swaps.
@returns Returns an array with the net Vault asset balance deltas. Positive amounts represent tokens (or ETH) sent to the Vault, and negative amounts represent tokens (or ETH) sent by the Vault. Each delta corresponds to the asset at the same index in the assets array.
swaps.queryBatchSwap(batchSwap: {
kind: SwapType,
swaps: BatchSwapStep[],
assets: string[]
}): Promise<BigNumberish[]>
Static method to encode a batch swap.
NB: This method doesn't execute a batchSwap -- it returns an ABI byte string containing the data of the function call on a contract, which can then be sent to the network (ex. sendTransaction). to be executed. See example for more info.
/**
* @param {BatchSwap} batchSwap - BatchSwap information used for query.
* @param {SwapType} batchSwap.kind - either exactIn or exactOut
* @param {BatchSwapSteps[]} batchSwap.swaps - sequence of swaps
* @param {string[]} batchSwap.assets - array contains the addresses of all assets involved in the swaps
* @param {FundManagement} batchSwap.funds - object containing information about where funds should be taken/sent
* @param {number[]} batchSwap.limits - limits for each token involved in the swap, where either the maximum number of tokens to send (by passing a positive value) or the minimum amount of tokens to receive (by passing a negative value) is specified
* @param {string} batchSwap.deadline - time (in Unix timestamp) after which it will no longer attempt to make a trade
* @returns {string} encodedBatchSwapData - Returns an ABI byte string containing the data of the function call on a contract

A Flash Swap is a special type of batch swap where the caller doesn't need to own or provide any of the input tokens -- the caller is essentially taking a "flash loan" (an uncollateralized loan) from the Balancer Vault. The full amount of the input token must be returned to the Vault by the end of the batch (plus any swap fees), however any excess of an output tokens can be sent to any address.
IMPORTANT: A "simple" flash swap is an arbitrage executed with only two tokens and two pools, swapping in the first pool and then back in the second pool for a profit. For more complex flash swaps, you will have to use batch swap directly.

Static method to encode a simple flash swap method for a batchSwap.

The Balancer Vault provides a method to simulate join or exit calls to a pool.
These function allows you to perform a dry run before sending an actual transaction, without checking the sender / recipient or token balances / approvals. Note that this function is not 'view' (due to implementation details): the client code must explicitly execute eth_call instead of eth_sendTransaction.
There are two ways to join a pool:
joinExactIn: Joining the pool with known token amounts. This is the most commonly used method.joinExactOut: Asking the pool for the expected liquidity when we know how much BPT we want back.In this documentation, we will focus on the first method (joinExactIn) for joining a pool with known token amounts.
const pool = await sdk.pools.find(poolId);
const maxAmountsIn = pool.tokenList.map(
(t) => forEachTokenSpecifyAmountYouWantToJoinWith
);
const queryParams = pool.buildQueryJoinExactIn({ maxAmountsIn });
const response = await balancerContracts.balancerHelpers.queryJoin(
...queryParams
);
const { bptOut, amountsIn } = response;
response will return:
bptOut: The expected pool token amount returned by the pool.amountsIn: The same as maxAmountsInThere are three ways to exit a pool:
exitToSingleToken: Exiting liquidity to a single underlying token is the simplest method. However, if the amount of liquidity being exited is a significant portion of the pool's total liquidity, it may result in price slippage.exitProportionally: Exiting liquidity proportionally to all pool tokens. This is the most commonly used method. However ComposableStable pool type doesn't support it.exitExactOut: Asking the pool for the expected pool token amount when we know how much token amounts we want back.In this example, we will focus on the first method (exitProportionally).
const pool = await sdk.pools.find(poolId);
const queryParams = pool.buildQueryJoinExactIn({ bptIn });
const response = await balancerContracts.balancerHelpers.queryJoin(
...queryParams
);
const { bptIn, amountsOut } = response;
response will return:
amountsOut: Token amounts returned by the pool.bptIn: The same as intput bptInMore examples: https://github.com/balancer-labs/balancer-sdk/blob/master/balancer-js/examples/pools/queries.ts

impermanent loss (IL) describes the percentage by which a pool is worth less than what one would have if they had instead just held the tokens outside the pool

where 𝚫Pi represents the difference between the price for a single token at the date of joining the pool and the current price.
// retrieves pool's tokens
tokens = pool.tokens;

weights = tokens.map((token) => token.weight);
// retrieves current price for tokens
