Functions

tickSpacingToMaxLiquidityPerTick

  function tickSpacingToMaxLiquidityPerTick(
    int24 tickSpacing
  ) internal pure returns (uint128)

Derives max liquidity per tick from given tick spacing

Executed within the pool constructor

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`tickSpacing`	int24	The amount of required tick separation, realized in multiples of `tickSpacing` e.g., a tickSpacing of 3 requires ticks to be initialized every 3rd tick i.e., ..., -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, ...

Return Values:

Type	Description
uint128	max liquidity per tick

getFeeGrowthInside

  function getFeeGrowthInside(
    mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info) self,
    int24 tickLower,
    int24 tickUpper,
    int24 tickCurrent,
    uint256 feeGrowthGlobal0X128,
    uint256 feeGrowthGlobal1X128
  ) internal view returns (uint256 feeGrowthInside0X128, uint256 feeGrowthInside1X128)

Retrieves fee growth data

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`self`	mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info)	The mapping containing all tick information for initialized ticks
`tickLower`	int24	The lower tick boundary of the position
`tickUpper`	int24	The upper tick boundary of the position
`tickCurrent`	int24	The current tick
`feeGrowthGlobal0X128`	uint256	The all-time global fee growth, per unit of liquidity, in token0
`feeGrowthGlobal1X128`	uint256	The all-time global fee growth, per unit of liquidity, in token1

Return Values:

Name	Type	Description
`feeGrowthInside0X128`	uint256	The all-time fee growth in token0, per unit of liquidity, inside the position's tick boundaries
`feeGrowthInside1X128`	uint256	The all-time fee growth in token1, per unit of liquidity, inside the position's tick boundaries

update

  function update(
    mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info) self,
    int24 tick,
    int24 tickCurrent,
    int128 liquidityDelta,
    uint256 feeGrowthGlobal0X128,
    uint256 feeGrowthGlobal1X128,
    bool upper,
    uint128 maxLiquidity
  ) internal returns (bool flipped)

Updates a tick and returns true if the tick was flipped from initialized to uninitialized, or vice versa

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`self`	mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info)	The mapping containing all tick information for initialized ticks
`tick`	int24	The tick that will be updated
`tickCurrent`	int24	The current tick
`liquidityDelta`	int128	A new amount of liquidity to be added (subtracted) when tick is crossed from left to right (right to left)
`feeGrowthGlobal0X128`	uint256	The all-time global fee growth, per unit of liquidity, in token0
`feeGrowthGlobal1X128`	uint256	The all-time global fee growth, per unit of liquidity, in token1
`upper`	bool	true for updating a position's upper tick, or false for updating a position's lower tick
`maxLiquidity`	uint128	The maximum liquidity allocation for a single tick

Return Values:

Name	Type	Description
`flipped`	bool	Whether the tick was flipped from initialized to uninitialized, or vice versa

clear

  function clear(
    mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info) self,
    int24 tick
  ) internal

Clears tick data

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`self`	mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info)	The mapping containing all initialized tick information for initialized ticks
`tick`	int24	The tick that will be cleared

cross

  function cross(
    mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info) self,
    int24 tick,
    uint256 feeGrowthGlobal0X128,
    uint256 feeGrowthGlobal1X128
  ) internal returns (int128 liquidityNet)

Transitions to next tick as needed by price movement

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`self`	mapping(int24 => struct Tick.Info)	The mapping containing all tick information for initialized ticks
`tick`	int24	The destination tick of the transition
`feeGrowthGlobal0X128`	uint256	The all-time global fee growth, per unit of liquidity, in token0
`feeGrowthGlobal1X128`	uint256	The all-time global fee growth, per unit of liquidity, in token1

Return Values:

Name	Type	Description
`liquidityNet`	int128	The amount of liquidity added (subtracted) when tick is crossed from left to right (right to left)
