Compute Pair Address

getPair

The most obvious way to get the address for a pair is to call getPair on the factory. If the pair exists, this function will return its address, else address(0) (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000).

The "canonical" way to determine whether or not a pair exists. Requires an on-chain lookup. \

CREATE2

Thanks to some fancy footwork in the factory, we can also compute pair addresses without any on-chain lookups because of CREATE2. The following values are required for this technique:

Can be computed offline. Requires the ability to perform keccak256.
