Aave V3 L2 Pool Contract

The main transaction cost on L2 comes from calldata. To minimize this cost, Aave V3 uses a different contract on L2 networks that allows calldata of Pool methods to be compressed.

L2Pool is the contract for the L2 optimized user facing methods of the protocol that takes byte encoded input arguments. It exposes the liquidity management methods that can be invoked using either Solidity or Web3 libraries. The L2Pool contract is a calldata optimized extension of the Pool contract allowing users to pass compact calldata representation to reduce transaction costs on L2 rollups.

Pool methods not exposed in L2Pool.sol, such as flashLoan and setUserEMode, work the same as on other networks. See Pool.

Encoded arguments use the 16-bit asset id (the reserve index in getReservesList()) instead of the 160-bit asset address.

The source code is available on GitHub.

There is an additional L2Encoder helper contract with view methods to encode transaction params for compressed methods.

Methods

supply

Solidity
function supply(bytes32 args) external override

Calldata efficient wrapper of the supply function on behalf of the caller. Supplies asset into the protocol, minting the same amount of corresponding aTokens, and transferring them to msg.sender.

Build the input with encodeSupplyParams() in the L2Encoder helper contract.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
argsbytes32Arguments for the supply function packed in one bytes32. See the args bit layout below

The args bit layout:

BitsTypeFieldDescription
0-15uint16assetIdThe index of the asset in the reservesList
16-143uint128shortenedAmountCast to 256 bits at decode time
144-159uint16referralCodeUsed for 3rd party integrations

supplyWithPermit

Solidity
function supplyWithPermit(bytes32 args, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) external override

Calldata efficient wrapper of the supplyWithPermit function on behalf of the caller. Supply with transfer approval of supplied asset via permit function. This method removes the need for separate approval transaction before supplying asset to the pool.

Build the input with encodeSupplyWithPermitParams() in the L2Encoder helper contract.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
argsbytes32Arguments for the supply function packed in one bytes32. See the args bit layout below

160-191uint32shortenedDeadlineShortened deadline from the original uint256
192-199uint8permitVThe V parameter of EIP-712 permit signature

withdraw

Solidity
function withdraw(bytes32 args) external override returns (uint256)

Calldata efficient wrapper of the withdraw function, withdrawing to the caller. Withdraws amount of the underlying asset, i.e. redeems the underlying token and burns the aTokens.

If the user has any existing debt backed by the underlying token, the maximum amount available to withdraw is the amount that will not leave the user with a health factor < 1 after the withdrawal.

Build the input with encodeWithdrawParams() in the L2Encoder helper contract.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
argsbytes32Arguments for the withdraw function packed in one bytes32. See the args bit layout below

The args bit layout:

BitsTypeFieldDescription
0-15uint16assetIdThe index of the asset in the reservesList
16-143uint128shortenedAmountCast to 256 bits at decode time, if type(uint128).max the value will be expanded to type(uint256).max

Return Values:

NameTypeDescription
amountuint256The final amount of the underlying asset withdrawn, denominated in the base unit of the asset (e.g., wei for ETH, smallest unit for ERC-20 tokens). This is the amount actually transferred to the caller, accounting for constraints like liquidity and health factor.

borrow

Solidity
function borrow(bytes32 args) external override

Calldata efficient wrapper of the borrow function, borrowing on behalf of the caller. Borrows amount of asset with interestRateMode, sending the amount to msg.sender, and msg.sender incurs the debt.

152-167uint16referralCodeUsed for 3rd party integrations

repay

Solidity
function repay(bytes32 args) external override returns (uint256)

Calldata efficient wrapper of the repay function, repaying on behalf of the caller. Repays debt of an asset for the given interestRateMode.
