UniswapV3PriceProvider

UniswapV3PriceProvider

Price provider contract that reads prices from UniswapV3

Methods

acceptOwnership

function acceptOwnership() external nonpayable

Transfers ownership of the contract to a pending owner Can only be called by the pending owner.

adjustOracleCardinality

function adjustOracleCardinality(address _asset) external nonpayable

Adjust UniV3 pool cardinality to Silo's requirements

This could be used manually to setup pool, so it will be ready to use in the future. There is only one case, when it could be needed: if we have more than one pool for _asset and you want to use UniswapV3 but the pool does not have enough observations (liquidity == 1). You can run this method manually and it will set valid number of observations, so the pool can be used once price data is ready.

Parameters

Name
Type
Description

_asset

address

asset used to lookup the pool address to increase the cardinality for

assetSupported

function assetSupported(address _asset) external view returns (bool supported)

Informs if PriceProvider is setup for asset. It does not means PriceProvider can provide price right away. Some providers implementations need time to "build" buffor for TWAP price, so price may not be available yet but this method will return true.

Parameters

Name
Type
Description

_asset

address

asset in question

Returns

Name
Type
Description

supported

bool

TRUE if asset has been setup, otherwise false

changeBlockTime

function changeBlockTime(uint8 _blockTime) external nonpayable

Change block time which is used to adjust oracle cardinality fot providing TWAP prices

Parameters

Name
Type
Description

_blockTime

uint8

it is better to set it bit lower than higher that avg block time eg. if ETH block time is 13~13.5s, you can set it to 11-12s based on priceCalculationData.periodForAvgPrice and priceCalculationData.blockTime price provider calculates number of blocks for (cardinality) requires for TWAP price. Unfortunately block time can change and this can lead to issues with getting price. Edge case will be when we set _blockTime to 1, then we have 100% guarantee, that no matter how real block time changes, we always can get price. Downside will be cost of initialization. That's why it is better to set a bit lower and adjust (decrease) in case of issues.

changePeriodForAvgPrice

function changePeriodForAvgPrice(uint32 _period) external nonpayable

Change period for which to calcualted TWAP prices

WARNING: There is a possibility that when we change this period, UniV3 pool that is already initialized and set as oracle for asset, can throw. This can happen when it will not be able calculate TWAP for new period and it can potentially lock the Silo until we have necessary observations. If UniV3 is NOT only available oracle for asset, we can change the oracle and Silo will be unlocked.

Parameters

Name
Type
Description

_period

uint32

new period in seconds, ie. 1800 means 30 min

getPrice

function getPrice(address _asset) external view returns (uint256 price)

Returns "Time-Weighted Average Price" for an asset. Calculates TWAP price for quote/asset. It unifies all tokens decimal to 18, examples: - if asses == quote it returns 1e18 - if asset is USDC and quote is ETH and ETH costs ~$3300 then it returns ~0.0003e18 WETH per 1 USDC

UniV3 saves price only on: mint, burn and swap. Mint and burn will write observation only when "current tick is inside the passed range" of ticks. I think that means, that if we minting/burning outside ticks range (so outside current price) it will not modify observation. So we left with swap. Swap will write observation under this condition: // update tick and write an oracle entry if the tick change if (state.tick != slot0Start.tick) { that means, it is possible that price will be up to date (in a range of same tick) but observation timestamp will be old. Every pool by default comes with just one slot for observation (cardinality == 1). We can increase number of slots so TWAP price will be "better". When we increase, we have to wait until new tx will write new observation. Based on all above, we can tell how old is observation, but this does not mean the price is wrong. UniV3 recommends to use observe and OracleLibrary.consult uses it. observe reverts if secondsAgos > oldest observation, means, if there is any price observation in selected time frame, it will revert. Otherwise it will return either exact TWAP price or by interpolation. Conclusion: we can choose how many observation pool will be storing, but we need to remember, not all of them might be used to provide our price. Final question is: how many observations we need? How UniV3 calculates TWAP we ask for TWAP on time range ago:now using OracleLibrary.consult, it is all about find the right tick - we call IUniswapV3Pool(pool).observe(secondAgos) that returns two accumulator values (for ago and now) - each observation is resolved by observeSingle - for now we just using latest observation, and if it does not match timestamp, we interpolate (!) and this is how we got the tickCumulative, so in extreme situation, if last observation was made day ago, UniV3 will interpolate to reflect tickCumulative at current time - for ago we search for observation using getSurroundingObservations that give us before and after observation, base on which we calculate "avg" and we have target tickCumulative - getSurroundingObservations: it's job is to find 2 observations based on which we calculate tickCumulative here is where all calculations can revert, if ago < oldest observation, otherwise it will be calculated either by interpolation or we will have exact match - now with both _tickCumulative_s we calculating TWAP recommended observations are = 30 min / blockTime
