Crane Balancer

Pool Types

Crane supports two Balancer V3 pool types:

Quick Start: Deploy Weighted Pool

import {IBalancerV3WeightedPoolDFPkg, BalancerV3WeightedPoolDFPkg} from "@crane/contracts/protocols/dexes/balancer/v3/pool-weighted/BalancerV3WeightedPoolDFPkg.sol";
import {TokenConfig, TokenType} from "@balancer-labs/v3-interfaces/contracts/vault/VaultTypes.sol";

contract MyFactory {
    BalancerV3WeightedPoolDFPkg public poolDFPkg;

    function deployPool(
        IERC20 tokenA,
        IERC20 tokenB
    ) external returns (address pool) {
        TokenConfig[] memory tokenConfigs = new TokenConfig[](2);
        tokenConfigs[0] = TokenConfig({
            token: tokenA,
            tokenType: TokenType.STANDARD,
            rateProvider: IRateProvider(address(0)),
            paysYieldFees: false
        });
        tokenConfigs[1] = TokenConfig({
            token: tokenB,
            tokenType: TokenType.STANDARD,
            rateProvider: IRateProvider(address(0)),
            paysYieldFees: false
        });

        uint256[] memory weights = new uint256[](2);
        weights[0] = 80e16;  // 80%
        weights[1] = 20e16;  // 20%

        pool = poolDFPkg.deployPool(
            tokenConfigs,
            weights,
            address(0)  // No hooks
        );
    }
}

Token Configuration

Balancer V3 uses TokenConfig for pool tokens:

TokenConfig({
    token: IERC20(tokenAddress),
    tokenType: TokenType.STANDARD,      // or TokenType.WITH_RATE
    rateProvider: IRateProvider(address(0)),  // or actual rate provider
    paysYieldFees: false               // true for yield-bearing tokens
})

Token Types

Rate Providers for ERC4626

Deploy rate providers for yield-bearing tokens:

import {ERC4626RateProviderFacetDFPkg} from "@crane/contracts/protocols/dexes/balancer/v3/rateProviders/ERC4626RateProviderFacetDFPkg.sol";

// Deploy rate provider for ERC4626 vault
IRateProvider rateProvider = erc4626RateProviderDFPkg.deployRateProvider(IERC4626(vaultAddress));

// Use in token config
TokenConfig({
    token: IERC20(address(vault)),
    tokenType: TokenType.WITH_RATE,
    rateProvider: rateProvider,
    paysYieldFees: true
})

DFPkg Initialization

BalancerV3WeightedPoolDFPkg requires initialization:

struct PkgInit {
    IFacet balancerV3VaultAwareFacet;
    IFacet betterBalancerV3PoolTokenFacet;
    IFacet defaultPoolInfoFacet;
    IFacet standardSwapFeePercentageBoundsFacet;
    IFacet unbalancedLiquidityInvariantRatioBoundsFacet;
    IFacet balancerV3AuthenticationFacet;
    IFacet balancerV3WeightedPoolFacet;
    IVault balancerV3Vault;
    IDiamondPackageCallBackFactory diamondFactory;
    address poolFeeManager;
}

AwareRepo Pattern

import {BalancerV3VaultAwareRepo} from "@crane/contracts/protocols/dexes/balancer/v3/vault/BalancerV3VaultAwareRepo.sol";

// Initialize during deployment
BalancerV3VaultAwareRepo._initialize(vault);

// Access in operations
IVault vault = BalancerV3VaultAwareRepo._balancerV3Vault();

Storage Slots

Testing

import {TestBase_BalancerV3Vault} from "@crane/contracts/protocols/dexes/balancer/v3/test/bases/TestBase_BalancerV3Vault.sol";

contract MyTest is TestBase_BalancerV3Vault {
    function setUp() public override {
        super.setUp();
        // vault, router, batchRouter available
        // erc4626RateProviderDFPkg available
    }

    function test_deployPool() public {
        TokenConfig[] memory configs = new TokenConfig[](2);
        configs[0] = standardTokenConfig(dai);
        configs[1] = standardTokenConfig(usdc);

        uint256[] memory weights = new uint256[](2);
        weights[0] = 50e16;
        weights[1] = 50e16;

        // Deploy and test pool
    }
}
