Architecture

Gas optimization — single storage access pattern

Traditional AMM implementations perform multiple SLOAD/SSTORE operations per transaction. This implementation uses a struct-based single-read/single-write pattern:

// 1. Single storage read → memory struct
function _loadPairData(address tokenA, address tokenB)
    private view returns (LocalPairData memory data, bytes32 hash, bool reversed) {
    (hash, reversed) = _getPairHash(tokenA, tokenB);
    PairData storage pair = pairs[hash];  // ONE SLOAD
    data.reserveA = reversed ? pair.reserveB : pair.reserveA;
    data.reserveB = reversed ? pair.reserveA : pair.reserveB;
}

// 2. All calculations in memory (zero storage cost)
// 3. Single storage write → packed struct
function _savePairData(bytes32 hash, bool reversed, LocalPairData memory data) private {
    pairs[hash] = PairData({          // ONE SSTORE
        reserveA: reversed ? uint128(data.reserveB) : uint128(data.reserveA),
        reserveB: reversed ? uint128(data.reserveA) : uint128(data.reserveB)
    });
}

Storage slot optimization

struct PairData {
    uint128 reserveA;  // 16 bytes
    uint128 reserveB;  // 16 bytes
    // Total: 32 bytes = 1 storage slot
}

AMM formula

// Constant product: x * y = k
function getAmountOut(uint256 amountIn, uint256 reserveIn, uint256 reserveOut)
    public pure returns (uint256 amountOut) {
    require(amountIn > 0, "amt in");
    require(reserveIn > 0 && reserveOut > 0, "reserves");
    amountOut = (amountIn * reserveOut) / (reserveIn + amountIn);
}

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Yarn
• MetaMask or compatible Web3 wallet
• Sepolia testnet ETH (for gas)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/edumor/simpleswap-dapp.git
cd simpleswap-dapp
yarn install
cd packages/nextjs
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000, connect your wallet and switch to Sepolia testnet.

Environment variables

Create packages/nextjs/.env.local:

NEXT_PUBLIC_ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_sepolia_key
NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLET_CONNECT_PROJECT_ID=your_walletconnect_project_id

Running tests

cd packages/hardhat
yarn test          # Full test suite
yarn coverage      # Coverage report
yarn gas-report    # Gas usage report

Security

• Reentrancy: custom nonReentrant modifier on all state-changing functions
• Overflow/underflow: Solidity ^0.8.20 built-in protection
• Slippage: amountOutMin parameter enforced on every swap
• Deadline: ensure(deadline) modifier prevents stale transactions
