Introduction
To guarantee the safety of the pool, there are some conditions which need to be fulfilled when adding liquidity to KyberSwap Classic pools:
After LP contributions, the token price remains unchanged.
P m i n P_{min} P min P m a x P_{max} P ma x
In KyberSwap, the pool for pair X-Y needs to maintain 4 parameters:
The initial amount of token X X X x 0 x_0 x 0
The initial amount of token Y Y Y y 0 y_0 y 0
The change in token X X X Δ x 0 Δx_0 Δ x 0
The change in token Y Y Y Δ y 0 Δy_0 Δ y 0
Therefore, the real balances and virtual balances of the reserves are:
Real Balances
x = x 0 + Δ x 0 y = y 0 + Δ y 0 x = x_0 + \Delta x_0 \\
y = y_0 + \Delta y_0 x = x 0 + Δ x 0 y = y 0 + Δ y 0 Virtual Balances
x ′ = a ⋅ x 0 + Δ x 0 y ′ = a ⋅ y 0 + Δ y 0 x' = a \cdot x_0 + \Delta x_0 \\
y' = a \cdot y_0 + \Delta y_0 x ′ = a ⋅ x 0 + Δ x 0 y ′ = a ⋅ y 0 + Δ y 0 where a a a amplification factor .
The constant product x ′ ⋅ y ′ = ( a ⋅ x 0 + Δ x 0 ) ⋅ ( a ⋅ y 0 + Δ y 0 ) = k ′ x' \cdot y' = (a \cdot x_0 + \Delta x_0) \cdot (a \cdot y_0 + \Delta y_0) = k' x ′ ⋅ y ′ = ( a ⋅ x 0 + Δ x 0 ) ⋅ ( a ⋅ y 0 + Δ y 0 ) = k ′ P m i n P_{min} P min P m a x P_{max} P ma x

\end{cases} ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ P min = k ′ ( y 0 ⋅ a − y 0 ) 2 P ma x = ( x 0 ⋅ a − x 0 ) 2 k ′ The current price: P = y ′ x ′ = a ⋅ y 0 + Δ y 0 a ⋅ x 0 + Δ x 0 P = \cfrac{y'}{x'} = \cfrac{a \cdot y_0 + \Delta y_0}{a \cdot x_0 + \Delta x_0} P = x ′ y ′ = a ⋅ x 0 + Δ x 0 a ⋅ y 0 + Δ y 0
Liquidity Providers have to contribute in the same proportion for all 4 amount types. We denote the contribution ratio to be b b b
{ x 1 = b ⋅ x 0 Δ x 1 = b ⋅ Δ x 0 y 1 = b ⋅ y 0 Δ y 1 = b ⋅ Δ y 0 \begin{cases}
x_1 = b \cdot x_0 \\
\Delta x_1 = b \cdot \Delta x_0 \\

\end{cases} ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ x 1 = b ⋅ x 0 Δ x 1 = b ⋅ Δ x 0 y 1 = b ⋅ y 0 Δ y 1 = b ⋅ Δ y 0 The real balances and virtual balances of the reserve after contribution are:

We see that after LP contributes, the current price, P m i n P_{min} P min P m a x P_{max} P ma x b b b
Initially, the first LP put 100 X X X Y Y Y x = 100 , y = 100 , Δ x = 0 , Δ y = 0 x = 100, y = 100, \Delta x = 0, \Delta y = 0 x = 100 , y = 100 , Δ x = 0 , Δ y = 0
A user trades 20 X X X Y Y Y x = 100 , y = 100 , Δ x = 20 , Δ y = − 15 x = 100, y = 100, \Delta x = 20, \Delta y = −15 x = 100 , y = 100 , Δ x = 20 , Δ y = − 15
Suppose an LP wants to contribute 20% of the current token amounts in the pool, so he should deposit:
0.2 ⋅ 100 + 0.2 ⋅ 20 = 24 ( X ) 0.2 ⋅ 100 + 0.2 ⋅ ( − 15 ) = 17 ( Y ) 0.2 · 100 + 0.2 · 20 = 24 (X) \\
0.2 · 100 + 0.2 · (−15) = 17 (Y) 0.2 ⋅ 100 + 0.2 ⋅ 20 = 24 ( X ) 0.2 ⋅ 100 + 0.2 ⋅ ( − 15 ) = 17 ( Y ) ie. deposit 24X and 17Y tokens.
The parameters are then updated to be:
