Atomic Swap
The atomic swap example swaps two tokens between two authorized parties atomically while following the limits they set.
This is example demonstrates advanced usage of Soroban auth framework and assumes the reader is familiar with the auth example and with Soroban token usage.
Run the Example
First go through the Setup process to get your development environment configured, then clone the v22.0.1 tag of soroban-examples repository:
git clone -b v22.0.1 https://github.com/stellar/soroban-examples
Or, skip the development environment setup and open this example in Gitpod.
To run the tests for the example use cargo test.
cargo test -p soroban-atomic-swap-contract
You should see the output:
running 1 test
test test::test_atomic_swap ... ok
Code
#[contract]
pub struct AtomicSwapContract;
#[contractimpl]
impl AtomicSwapContract {
// Swap token A for token B atomically. Settle for the minimum requested price
// for each party (this is an arbitrary choice to demonstrate the usage of
// allowance; full amounts could be swapped as well).
pub fn swap(
env: Env,
a: Address,
b: Address,
token_a: Address,
token_b: Address,
amount_a: i128,
min_b_for_a: i128,
amount_b: i128,
min_a_for_b: i128,
) {
// Verify preconditions on the minimum price for both parties.
if amount_b < min_b_for_a {
panic!("not enough token B for token A");
}
if amount_a < min_a_for_b {
panic!("not enough token A for token B");
}
// Require authorization for a subset of arguments specific to a party.
// Notice, that arguments are symmetric - there is no difference between
// `a` and `b` in the call and hence their signatures can be used
// either for `a` or for `b` role.
a.require_auth_for_args(
(token_a.clone(), token_b.clone(), amount_a, min_b_for_a).into_val(&env),
);
b.require_auth_for_args(
(token_b.clone(), token_a.clone(), amount_b, min_a_for_b).into_val(&env),
);
// Perform the swap by moving tokens from a to b and from b to a.
move_token(&env, &token_a, &a, &b, amount_a, min_a_for_b);
move_token(&env, &token_b, &b, &a, amount_b, min_b_for_a);
}
}
fn move_token(
env: &Env,
token: &Address,
from: &Address,
to: &Address,
max_spend_amount: i128,
transfer_amount: i128,
) {
let token = token::Client::new(env, token);
let contract_address = env.current_contract_address();
// This call needs to be authorized by `from` address. It transfers the
// maximum spend amount to the swap contract's address in order to decouple
// the signature from `to` address (so that parties don't need to know each
// other).
token.transfer(from, &contract_address, &max_spend_amount);
// Transfer the necessary amount to `to`.
token.transfer(&contract_address, to, &transfer_amount);
// Refund the remaining balance to `from`.
token.transfer(
&contract_address,
from,
&(&max_spend_amount - &transfer_amount),
);
}

How it Works
The example contract requires two Address-es to authorize their parts of the swap operation: one Address wants to sell a given amount of token A for token B at a given price and another Address wants to sell token B for token A at a given price. The contract swaps the tokens atomically, but only if the requested minimum price is respected for both parties.

Swap authorization
...
a.require_auth_for_args(
(token_a.clone(), token_b.clone(), amount_a, min_b_for_a).into_val(&env),
);
b.require_auth_for_args(
(token_b.clone(), token_a.clone(), amount_b, min_a_for_b).into_val(&env),
);
...
Authorization of swap function leverages require_auth_for_args Soroban host function. Both a and b need to authorize symmetric arguments: token they sell, token they buy, amount of token they sell, minimum amount of token they want to receive. This means that a and b can be freely exchanged in the invocation arguments (as long as the respective arguments are changed too).
Moving the tokens
...
// Perform the swap via two token transfers.
move_token(&env, token_a, &a, &b, amount_a, min_a_for_b);
move_token(&env, token_b, &b, &a, amount_b, min_b_for_a);
...
fn move_token(
env: &Env,
token: &Address,
from: &Address,
to: &Address,
max_spend_amount: i128,
transfer_amount: i128,
) {
let token = token::Client::new(env, token);
let contract_address = env.current_contract_address();
// This call needs to be authorized by `from` address. It transfers the
// maximum spend amount to the swap contract's address in order to decouple
// the signature from `to` address (so that parties don't need to know each
// other).
token.transfer(from, &contract_address, &max_spend_amount);
// Transfer the necessary amount to `to`.
token.transfer(&contract_address, to, &transfer_amount);
// Refund the remaining balance to `from`.
token.transfer(
&contract_address,
from,
&(&max_spend_amount - &transfer_amount),
);
}
The swap itself is implemented via two token moves: from a to b and from b to a. The token move is implemented via allowance: the users don't need to know each other in order to perform the swap, and instead they authorize the swap contract to spend the necessary amount of token on their behalf via transfer. Soroban auth framework makes sure that the transfer signatures would have the proper context, and they won't be usable outside the swap contract invocation.
Tests
Open the atomic_swap/src/test.rs file to follow along.
Refer to another examples for the general information on the test setup.
The interesting part for this example is verification of swap authorization:
contract.swap(
&a,
&b,
&token_a.address,
&token_b.address,
&1000,
&4500,
&5000,
&950,
);
assert_eq!(
env.auths(),
std::vec![
(
a.clone(),
AuthorizedInvocation {
function: AuthorizedFunction::Contract((
contract.address.clone(),
symbol_short!("swap"),
(
token_a.address.clone(),
token_b.address.clone(),
1000_i128,
4500_i128
)
.into_val(&env),
)),
sub_invocations: std::vec![AuthorizedInvocation {
function: AuthorizedFunction::Contract((
token_a.address.clone(),
symbol_short!("transfer"),
(a.clone(), contract.address.clone(), 1000_i128,).into_val(&env),
)),
sub_invocations: std::vec![]
}]
}
),
(
b.clone(),
AuthorizedInvocation {
function: AuthorizedFunction::Contract((
contract.address.clone(),
symbol_short!("swap"),
(
token_b.address.clone(),
token_a.address.clone(),
5000_i128,
950_i128
)
.into_val(&env),
)),
sub_invocations: std::vec![AuthorizedInvocation {
function: AuthorizedFunction::Contract((
token_b.address.clone(),
symbol_short!("transfer"),
(b.clone(), contract.address.clone(), 5000_i128,).into_val(&env),
)),
sub_invocations: std::vec![]
}]
}
),
]
);
env.auths() returns all the authorizations. In the case of swap four authorizations are expected. Two for each address authorizing, because each address authorizes not only the swap, but the approve all on the token being sent.
