Mint a New Position

Input Parameters​

To mint a new position, we use the nonFungiblePositionManager and call mint.

For the sake of this example, we're hard coding the token amounts to be minted. In production, this would be a user-configurable function argument.

    /// @notice Calls the mint function defined in periphery, mints the same amount of each token. For this example we are providing 1000 DAI and 1000 USDC in liquidity
/// @return tokenId The id of the newly minted ERC721
/// @return liquidity The amount of liquidity for the position
/// @return amount0 The amount of token0
/// @return amount1 The amount of token1
function mintNewPosition()
external
returns (
uint256 tokenId,
uint128 liquidity,
uint256 amount0,
uint256 amount1
)
{
// For this example, we will provide equal amounts of liquidity in both assets.
// Providing liquidity in both assets means liquidity will be earning fees and is considered in-range.
uint256 amount0ToMint = 1000;
uint256 amount1ToMint = 1000;

Calling Mint​

Here we approve the nonfungiblePositionManager to use the contracts' tokens, then populate the MintParams struct and assign it to a local variable params that will be passed to the nonfungiblePositionManager when we call mint.

  • By using TickMath.MIN_TICK and TickMath.MAX_TICK, we are providing liquidity across the whole range of the pool. In production you may want to specify a more concentrated position.

  • We set amount0Min and amount1Min to zero for the example - but this would be a vulnerability in production. A function calling mint with no slippage protection would be vulnerable to a frontrunning attack designed to execute the mint call at an inaccurate price.

  • For a more secure practice the developer would need to implement a slippage estimation process.

  • Note that this function will not initialize a pool where one does not yet exist.

        // Approve the position manager
TransferHelper.safeApprove(DAI, address(nonfungiblePositionManager), amount0ToMint);
TransferHelper.safeApprove(USDC, address(nonfungiblePositionManager), amount1ToMint);

INonfungiblePositionManager.MintParams memory params =
INonfungiblePositionManager.MintParams({
token0: DAI,
token1: USDC,
fee: poolFee,
tickLower: TickMath.MIN_TICK,
tickUpper: TickMath.MAX_TICK,
amount0Desired: amount0ToMint,
amount1Desired: amount1ToMint,
amount0Min: 0,
amount1Min: 0,
recipient: address(this),
deadline: block.timestamp
});

// Note that the pool defined by DAI/USDC and fee tier 0.3% must already be created and initialized in order to mint
(tokenId, liquidity, amount0, amount1) = nonfungiblePositionManager.mint(params);

Updating The Deposit Mapping And Refunding The Calling Address​

Now we can call the internal function we previously wrote in Setting Up Your Contract. After that, we can take any liquidity leftover from minting and refund it to msg.sender.

        // Create a deposit
_createDeposit(msg.sender, tokenId);

// Remove allowance and refund in both assets.
if (amount0 < amount0ToMint) {
TransferHelper.safeApprove(DAI, address(nonfungiblePositionManager), 0);
uint256 refund0 = amount0ToMint - amount0;
TransferHelper.safeTransfer(DAI, msg.sender, refund0);
}

if (amount1 < amount1ToMint) {
TransferHelper.safeApprove(USDC, address(nonfungiblePositionManager), 0);
uint256 refund1 = amount1ToMint - amount1;
TransferHelper.safeTransfer(USDC, msg.sender, refund1);
}
}
