PEP 810 Proposes Explicit Lazy Imports for Python 3.15
An opt-in lazy import keyword aims to speed up Python startups, especially CLIs, without the ecosystem-wide risks that sank PEP 690.
@balancer-labs/sdk
Advanced tools
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:
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
ALCHEMY_URL=[ALCHEMY HTTPS ENDPOINT]
INFURA=[Infura API KEY]
TRADER_KEY=[MetaMask PRIVATE KEY]
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.
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
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 forked node:
npm run node
Anvil - 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[]>
Uses SOR to create and query a batchSwap for multiple tokens in > multiple tokensOut.
@param queryWithSor - Swap information used for querying using SOR. @param queryWithSor.tokensIn - Array of addresses of assets in. @param queryWithSor.tokensOut - Array of addresses of assets out. @param queryWithSor.swapType - Type of Swap, ExactIn/Out. @param queryWithSor.amounts - Array of amounts used in swap. @param queryWithSor.fetchPools - Set whether SOR will fetch updated pool info. @returns Returns amount of tokens swaps along with swap and asset info that can be submitted to a batchSwap call.
swaps.queryBatchSwapWithSor(queryWithSor: {
tokensIn: string[],
tokensOut: string[],
swapType: SwapType,
amounts: BigNumberish[],
fetchPools: FetchPoolsInput;
}):
Promise<QueryWithSorOutput {
returnAmounts: string[];
swaps: BatchSwapStep[];
assets: string[];
deltas: string[];
}>
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.

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.
