Closes #133.

The problem

The SDK offered no way to work out what an AMMDeposit would credit before submitting it, so consumers reach for the widely quoted T·(√(1 + b·(1 − f/2)/B) − 1).

That formula is the right one with the fee applied loosely. It is exact wherever there is no fee, which is what makes it hard to catch. At a 1% fee it credits 0.41244·T where the node credits 0.41213·T — out by 0.08%, always in the direction that promises more tokens than arrive.

What landed

Xrpl.Sugar.AmmMath, static and needing no client: LPTokensForSingleAssetDeposit, LPTokensForSingleAssetWithdraw, LPTokensForProportionalDeposit, AssetsForProportionalDeposit, AssetsForProportionalWithdraw, plus TradingFeeFraction, DiscountedTradingFee and the constants behind them.

The single-asset pair are equations 3 and 7 from rippled's AMMHelpers.cpp, transcribed rather than derived, and checked against the source character by character:

rippled here
f1 = feeMult(tfee) f1 = 1 - fee
f2 = feeMultHalf(tfee) / f1 f2 = (1 - fee/2) / f1
c = root2(f2*f2 + r/f1) - f2 c = Sqrt(f2*f2 + r/f1) - f2
t = lptAMMBalance * (r - c) / (1 + c) lpTokenBalance * (r - c) / (1 + c)

The block comment above equation 3 writes the radicand as f2² − b/(B·f1), with a minus; the code uses +, and so does the derivation of equation 4 immediately below it. With a minus the radicand goes negative for ordinary inputs, which settles it. That is recorded where someone will check the comment against the code.

The two equations are not symmetric: lpTokensIn calls getFee, lpTokensOut calls feeMult, so one multiplies by the fee where the other multiplies by 1 − fee. Swapping them survives the round-trip inequality — a mutation proved it — so the zero-fee identity is pinned by its own test, which is exact and does not.

The trap that makes correct formulas look wrong

AMMCreate hands the auction slot to whoever created the pool, and the slot holder trades at DiscountedFee, a tenth of the pool's fee. The account most likely to be estimating is the one the pool's fee is wrong for.

The first version of the integration test fell into exactly this and was out by 0.23% — three times the error of the approximation this replaces, with every equation right. Both tests now assert both halves: the effective fee matches, and the pool's fee visibly does not.

The other half is freshness — amm_info has to be read immediately before the calculation, or the drift reads as an arithmetic error. Both are documented where a caller meets them.

Found in self-review

  • A fee in the wrong units was answered rather than refused. TradingFee is in units of 1/100 000 and rippled caps it at 1000 (kTradingFeeThreshold, enforced as temBAD_FEE in AMMCreate). Reaching for basis points or whole per cent is out by a factor of ten or a hundred, and nothing noticed: at 5000 every intermediate value stays finite and a plausible wrong number comes back; only at 100 000 does 1 − fee reach zero and the division fail. Now AmmMath.TradingFeeThreshold and an ArgumentOutOfRangeException. The bound is on the fee itself, so it holds even for an amount of zero — otherwise whether bad input is reported would depend on how much was being deposited.
  • The result is a bound, not the exact credit, and that was undocumented. Under fixAMMv1_3 rippled rounds the final multiplication against the caller in both directions — lpTokensOut downward ("minimize tokens out"), lpTokensIn upward ("maximize tokens in"). A deposit is credited this much or a shade less; a withdrawal costs this much or a shade more. It lands in the last of STAmount's 15 significant digits, which is below what differencing two reported LP balances can resolve — so this is stated from the source, not claimed from the measurement.
  • InternalsVisibleTo Include="Xrpl.Tests" is already declared, so the test's AmmMathTestAccess wrapper around the internal Sqrt was doing nothing. Removed.

Precision

decimal throughout, with a Newton square root seeded from Math.Sqrt. Math.Sqrt carries 15 significant digits against decimal's 28, and the root is the one step where the formulas need it.

Verification

Unit tests prove a formula was transcribed faithfully. They cannot prove it is the right formula — a faithful copy of the wrong equation passes every one of them. So deposits and withdrawals run against the standalone stand and are compared with what was actually credited:

pool 1000, pool fee 500, effective fee 50, deposit 500:
  estimated 22468.867241279177101554456363, credited 22468.8672412791
  relative error 3.4e-15
pool 1000, pool fee 500, effective fee 50, withdraw 100:
  estimated 5132.887573937548405644870260, spent 5132.88757393754
  relative error 1.6e-15

Agreement to 15 significant digits — the precision the node reports balances at.

Local runs before opening: 1343 unit tests, all green; 25 AMM integration tests on the stand, all green. Mutations M1–M4 each caught by a named test.

Two integration tests unrelated to this change (TestIAdminCredentials) fail locally because another repository's stand is holding ports 5005/5006/6006 without publishing 6007; both directories are named .ci-config, so Compose treats them as one project. Nothing in this change touches that file.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added AMM calculation utilities for single-asset and proportional deposits and withdrawals.
    • Added swap calculations, trading-fee and auction-slot discount support, liquidity-token calculations, precision handling, and input validation.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive unit and integration coverage, including verification against live network results.
  • Documentation

    • Added unreleased changelog entries describing the AMM calculation capabilities.

The SDK offered no way to work out what an AMMDeposit would credit before
submitting it, so consumers reached for the widely quoted
T*(sqrt(1 + b*(1 - f/2)/B) - 1). That is the right formula with the fee applied
loosely: exact wherever there is no fee, which is what makes it hard to catch,
and at a 1% fee it credits 0.41244*T where the node credits 0.41213*T - out by
0.08%, always promising more tokens than arrive.

AmmMath takes equations 3 and 7 from rippled's AMMHelpers.cpp verbatim. The two
are not symmetric: lpTokensIn multiplies by the fee where lpTokensOut multiplies
by 1 - fee, and swapping them survives a round-trip inequality, so the zero-fee
identity is pinned by its own test.

Two things outside the formulas decide whether an estimate matches, and both are
documented where a caller will meet them. The auction slot holder trades at
DiscountedFee, a tenth of the pool's fee, and AMMCreate hands the slot to the
pool's creator - estimating at the pool's fee was out by 0.23% in the
integration test, three times the error this replaces, with every equation
right. And amm_info has to be read immediately before the calculation, or the
drift reads as an arithmetic error.

A fee outside rippled's kTradingFeeThreshold is refused rather than answered:
in units of 1/100 000 a caller reaching for basis points is out by a factor of
ten, and at 5000 every intermediate value stays finite and a plausible wrong
number comes back.

decimal throughout, with a Newton square root, because Math.Sqrt carries 15
significant digits against decimal's 28 and the root is where the precision is
needed.

Verified against a node, not only against the source: deposits and withdrawals
on the standalone stand agree with what was actually credited to 15 significant
digits.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 45ad3

The PR adds node-backed AMM integration tests, but the new test class is still missing the repository-required amendment gate, so the tests may run outside their supported ledger feature context and provide misleading results. Merge should wait for that gate to be added or for the risk to be explicitly accepted.

Comment thread CHANGES.md Outdated
The changelog claimed agreement to 15 significant digits while the tests
enforced 1e-5, so a formula subtly wrong at 1e-7 would have passed both.
Tightened to 1e-9: still six orders of margin over the measured 3.4e-15 and
1.6e-15, and five over the 8e-4 error being guarded against.

Not tighter, and the gap is now written down. The figure compared is the
difference of two reported LP token balances, so the last of STAmount's 15
significant digits goes to cancellation before the comparison happens;
asserting near the measurement would buy brittleness rather than coverage.

Also completes a changelog sentence that read as truncated.
AmmMath answered "what will this deposit be worth" and "what will this
withdrawal cost" and nothing else. Three questions a caller actually asks were
missing, and two neighbouring projects had already written their own answers to
them - one of which was wrong in precisely the way this class exists to fix.

SwapAssetIn/SwapAssetOut are rippled's own, equation (2) in AMMHelpers.h. A
payment routed through a pool takes the fee off the input before the curve sees
it, which is a different number from taking it off the output, and the natural
mistake. Both are written in the rearranged form: the node's own expression
subtracts two nearly equal numbers for a small swap and loses digits to the
cancellation, while poolOut*x/(poolIn + x) has nothing to cancel.

SingleAssetDepositForLPTokens and SingleAssetWithdrawForLPTokens are equations 4
and 8 - what an AMMDeposit carrying LPTokenOut costs, and what an AMMWithdraw
carrying LPTokenIn returns. Equation 4 runs through a quadratic, so it is pinned
by composition with equation 3 rather than by a hand-computed figure; likewise 8
against 7, and SwapAssetOut against SwapAssetIn. Mutations to each break at
least one of those identities.

Units are the caller's and nothing converts between them, now said out loud in
the class docs because it bit while writing the tests: amm_info reports the XRP
side of a pool in drops, so a balance read from it and an amount a caller thinks
of in XRP are a million apart, and mixing them reads as a broken formula.

Verified against the node. The swap test routes a partial payment through the
pool from a second holder - the one account in the class that does not hold the
auction slot, so it is also the only case that exercises the pool's own fee
rather than the discount. Relative errors: 9.7e-17 on the swap, 6.2e-14 and
3.8e-14 on equations 4 and 8.
Self-review of the additions.

The class summary still described a class that only did deposits and
withdrawals; it now does swaps and reads each equation backwards too.

SolveQuadratic hands Sqrt an unguarded radicand, which rippled's own
solveQuadraticEq does as well, and a reader has no way to tell whether that can
throw. Swept across every fee up to the cap and token ratios from 1e-6 to 1000,
the discriminant never falls below 1 - so it cannot, and that is now written
down rather than left to be rediscovered.

The swap test held SendXrp and SendDrops as two independent constants, in a test
whose whole subject is that mixing those two units produces a number looking
like a broken formula. The second now derives from the first.

Fixes a typo in a test method name: TheePool.

Расширил после ревью — PR теперь закрывает не только оценку депозита и вывода.

Добавлены четыре метода, все взяты из rippled дословно:

Метод Источник
SwapAssetIn / SwapAssetOut equation (2) в AMMHelpers.h, swapAssetIn / swapAssetOut
SingleAssetDepositForLPTokens equation 4 (ammAssetIn)
SingleAssetWithdrawForLPTokens equation 8 (ammAssetOut)

Уравнения 4 и 8 закреплены композицией с 3 и 7, а SwapAssetOut — с SwapAssetIn: все три обязаны давать тождество при любом входе, и это единственный дешёвый способ проверить формулу, выведенную через квадратное уравнение. Четыре мутации (знак b в уравнении 4, знак комиссии в уравнении 8, комиссия наращивает вход вместо уменьшения, деление не на ту скобку в SwapAssetOut) ломают минимум одно тождество каждая.

Проверка на узле — пять тестов вместо двух. Своп идёт настоящим платежом через пул, а не AMM-транзакцией, потому что своп попадает в пул именно платежом. Расхождения: 9.7e-17 (своп), 3.4e-15 и 1.6e-15 (уравнения 3 и 7), 6.2e-14 и 3.8e-14 (уравнения 4 и 8).

Тест свопа закрыл и пробел в покрытии: свопит второй холдер, а не создатель пула, поэтому это единственный случай, идущий по комиссии пула, а не по аукционной скидке. Раньше проверялась только скидочная ветка FeeFor.

Найдено при написании тестов: amm_info отдаёт XRP-сторону пула в дропах. Первый заход теста подставил баланс в дропах рядом с суммой в XRP — получилось число, выглядящее как сломанная формула, а не как ошибка в единицах. Записано в доке класса и в CHANGES.md.

Найдено самопроверкой (45ad339): сводка класса описывала класс, который умеет только депозит и вывод; SolveQuadratic передаёт в Sqrt неохраняемое подкоренное — развернул по всем комиссиям до потолка и отношениям токенов от 1e-6 до 1000, дискриминант нигде не опускается ниже 1, значит бросить не может, и теперь это написано; тест про путаницу единиц держал две независимые константы SendXrp и SendDrops — вторая теперь выводится из первой.

Прогоны: 1352 юнит-теста зелёные; интеграционный набор 276 из 276 — включая два теста админ-креденшелов на порту 6007, которые в прошлый раз падали из-за занятых портов соседнего проекта. Это первый полностью зелёный прогон.
