The Uniswap smart contracts exist on the Ethereum blockchain. Use ethers.js or web3.js to connect your website to Ethereum. Users will need a web3-enabled browser. On desktop this means using the MetaMask extension or something similar. On mobile, web3-compatible browsers include Trust Wallet and Coinbase Wallet. See ethereum.org to learn more.

Factory Contract

The Uniswap factory contract can be used to create exchange contracts for any ERC20 token that does not already have one. It also functions as a registry of ERC20 tokens that have been added to the system, and the exchange with which they are associated.

The factory contract can be instantiated using the factory address and ABI:

Factory Address

// mainnet
const factory = '0xc0a47dFe034B400B47bDaD5FecDa2621de6c4d95'

// testnets
const ropsten = '0x9c83dCE8CA20E9aAF9D3efc003b2ea62aBC08351'
const rinkeby = '0xf5D915570BC477f9B8D6C0E980aA81757A3AaC36'
const kovan = '0xD3E51Ef092B2845f10401a0159B2B96e8B6c3D30'
const görli = '0x6Ce570d02D73d4c384b46135E87f8C592A8c86dA'

Factory Interface

Creating the factory interface in web3 requires the factory address and the factory ABI:

const factoryABI = [

Exchange Contracts

Get Exchange Address

There is a separate exchange contract for every ERC20 token. The getExchange method in the factory contract can be used to find the Ethereum address associated with an ERC20 token address.

const exchangeAddress = factoryContract.methods.getExchange(tokenAddress)
Copy

If the return value is 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 the token does not yet have an exchange.

Token Contracts

Some Uniswap interactions require making calls directly to ERC20 token contracts rather than the exchanges with which they are associated.

Get Token Address

The getToken method in the factory contract can be used to find the ERC20 token address associated with an exchange contract. There is no barrier of entry for adding an ERC20 token to Uniswap or checks on the validity of the token contracts. Frontend interfaces should maintain a list of valid ERC20 tokens that users can safely trade or allow users to paste in arbitrary addresses.

const tokenAddress = factoryContract.methods.getToken(exchangeAddress)
Copy

If the return value is 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 the input address is not a Uniswap exchange.

Creating a token interface in web3 requires the token address and the token ABI:
