Curve Meta Registry

For complete and detailed documentation on the MetaRegistry contract, please see here .

Requirements

The MetaRegistry requires that all Factory contracts, which deploy pools and gauges, are added to the Meta Registry. Without this, the MetaRegistry cannot retrieve specific information. To see which handlers and registries are added, see Handlers and Registries.

Handlers and Registries

The MetaRegistry introduces Handlers, which are essentially wrappers around other contracts (mostly Pool Factories) to ensure ABI compatibility with the MetaRegistry itself.

New handlers can be added or existing ones can be updated by the owner of the contract.

Helpful Functions in the Curve Meta Registry:

  • get_registry_length: Returns the total number of registries added.
  • get_registry: Fetches single registries.
  • get_base_registry: Returns the "base registry" of a handler.
  • get_registry_handlers_from_pool: Fetches the handler from pools.

Fetching Liquidity Pools

Deployment of Curve pools is permissionless, leading to a significant number of pools being deployed. Managing this vast array of pools can be challenging, and relying solely on a UI may not be the most effective approach. The Curve Meta Registry serves as an ideal tool for querying specific pools directly from the blockchain.

Understanding Base- and Metapool Logic

The Meta Registry considers metapools as well1. For example, the mkUSD/3CRV pool pairs mkUSD with the 3CRV LP Token, which consists of USDT, USDC, and DAI. The contract identifies this logic and returns this pool when querying for find_pools_for_coins(mkUSD, USDC), because mkUSD and USDC can be exchanged through this pool.

Key Methods for Querying Pools:

  • find_pools_for_coins: This method returns a list of all pools containing two specific tokens, e.g. pools that include both crvUSD and USDC.
  • find_pool_for_coins: Returns a single pool according to the input index from the list returned by find_pools_for_coins.

  1. Metapools are liquidity pools that pair a token against the LP token of another pool. ↩
