Overview
Uniswap v4 introduced hooks, a plugin system that lets developers customize how pools behave, from dynamic fees to built-in oracles and automated strategies.
Key Points
Hooks enable innovations like time-weighted average market makers and custom liquidity management without forking the core contract. The single-pool architecture reduces deployment costs. Early integrations show builders using hooks for MEV mitigation and advanced fee models, cementing Uniswap's role as the reference AMM.
