Swap HBAR for Tokens

Below are three methods available to swap HBAR for HTS tokens:

The swapExactETHForTokens and swapETHForExactTokens function trades in HBAR but derives its name from Uniswap on Ethereum. This name was kept to simplify integration for developers versed in Uniswap tools.

Consider the token’s decimal places when determining the output amount.The output values should be in the token’s smallest unit. For the SAUCE token, which has 6 decimal places, an input of 123.45 SAUCE should be entered as 123450000 (123.45 multiplied by 10^6).

Ensure that the “to” account has the output token id associated prior to executing the swap. Failure to do so will result in a TOKEN_NOT_ASSOCIATED_TO_ACCOUNT error.

When providing HBAR in the path array, use the wrapped HBAR token ID (WHBAR).

Swap Exact HBAR for Tokens

Swap an exact amount of HBAR for a minimum token amount. Solidity function name: swapExactETHForTokens

Parameter name	Description
uint amountOutMin	The minimum token amount to receive in its smallest unit
address[] calldata path	An ordered list of token EVM addresses
address to	EVM address for the token recipient
uint deadline	Deadline in Unix seconds

function swapExactETHForTokens(
  uint amountOutMin, 
  address[] calldata path, 
  address to, 
  uint deadline
) external payable returns (uint[] memory amounts);

function swapExactETHForTokens(uint amountOutMin, address[] calldata path, address to, uint deadline)
  external
  virtual
  override
  payable
  ensure(deadline)
  returns (uint[] memory amounts)
{
  require(path[0] == whbar, 'UniswapV2Router: INVALID_PATH');
  amounts = UniswapV2Library.getAmountsOut(factory, msg.value, path);
  require(amounts[amounts.length - 1] >= amountOutMin, 'UniswapV2Router: INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT');
  IWHBAR(WHBAR).deposit{value: amounts[0]}(msg.sender, UniswapV2Library.pairFor(factory, path[0], path[1]));
  _swap(amounts, path, to);
}

Set the minimum output token amount (amountOutMin) with caution.A high minimum might lead to a swap failure due to insufficient liquidity or rapid price movements. Conversely, setting the minimum too low can expose you to significant slippage, potentially resulting in a financial loss as you might receive far fewer tokens than expected.

Swap HBAR for Exact Tokens

Swap a maximum amount of HBAR to receive an exact tokens amount Solidity function name: swapETHForExactTokens

Parameter Name	Description
uint amountOut	The exact output amount to receive in its smallest unit
address[] calldata path	An ordered list of token EVM addresses
address to	EVM address for the token recipient
uint deadline	Deadline in Unix seconds

function swapETHForExactTokens(
  uint amountOut, 
  address[] calldata path, 
  address to, 
  uint deadline
) external payable returns (uint[] memory amounts);

function swapETHForExactTokens(uint amountOut, address[] calldata path, address to, uint deadline)

  ensure(deadline)
  returns (uint[] memory amounts)
{
  require(path[0] == whbar, 'UniswapV2Router: INVALID_PATH');
  amounts = UniswapV2Library.getAmountsIn(factory, amountOut, path);
  require(amounts[0] <= msg.value, 'UniswapV2Router: EXCESSIVE_INPUT_AMOUNT');
  IWHBAR(WHBAR).deposit{value: amounts[0]}(msg.sender, UniswapV2Library.pairFor(factory, path[0], path[1]));
  _swap(amounts, path, to);
  // refund dust eth, if any
  if (msg.value > amounts[0]) TransferHelper.safeTransferETH(msg.sender, msg.value - amounts[0]);
}

Set the maximum HBAR amount (payable) with caution.A low maximum might lead to a swap failure if the required liquidity surpasses this limit or due to rapid price movements. Conversely, setting it too high can expose you to significant slippage, potentially leading to a financial loss as you might spend far more HBAR than expected.
