The Uniswap V2 Pair smart contract manages liquidity pools through three core functions: mint (for adding liquidity and minting LP tokens), burn (for removing liquidity and burning LP tokens), and swap (for token exchanges with a 0.3% fee). The contract uses the constant product formula (K = reserve0 × reserve1) to maintain price stability, and implements gas optimization techniques like variable packing and low-level calls for efficient token transfers. The price oracle calculates token ratios based on cumulative price tracking, and the contract includes re-entrancy protection and balance synchronization mechanisms.
