Get Pair Addresses

getPair

The most obvious way to get the address for a pair is to call getPair on the factory. If the pair exists, this function will return its address, else address(0) (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000).

• The "canonical" way to determine whether or not a pair exists.

• Requires an on-chain lookup.

CREATE2

Thanks to some fancy footwork in the factory, we can also compute pair addresses without any on-chain lookups because of CREATE2. The following values are required for this technique:

address	The factory address
salt	keccak256(abi.encodePacked(token0, token1))
keccak256(init_code)	0x6e71edae12b1b97f4d1f60370fef10105fa2faae0126114a169c64845d6126c9

• token0 must be strictly less than token1 by sort order.

• Can be computed offline.

• Requires the ability to perform keccak256.

Examples

Solidity

address factory = 0x5C69bEe701ef814a2B6a3EDD4B1652CB9cc5aA6f;
address token0 = 0xCAFE000000000000000000000000000000000000; // change me!
address token1 = 0xF00D000000000000000000000000000000000000; // change me!

address pair = address(uint(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(
hex'ff',
factory,
keccak256(abi.encodePacked(token0, token1)),
hex'6e71edae12b1b97f4d1f60370fef10105fa2faae0126114a169c64845d6126c9'
))));
