Whitepaper Reading Club NYC: Hooks on Uniswap V4
Whitepaper Reading Club × Open Note Labs
November Edition: Uniswap v4 Hooks
For November's edition of Whitepaper Reading Club, we're partnering with Open Note Labs to dive into Uniswap v4 Hooks and the expanding design space they enable.
Uniswap v4 introduces hooks: customizable smart contracts that execute at specific points in a liquidity pool's lifecycle. By allowing developers to extend pool behavior without modifying the underlying protocol, hooks open up new possibilities for automated market makers, liquidity management, and onchain financial applications.
We'll explore the architecture behind Uniswap v4, how hooks work, and what this new levels can be unlocked for the future of programmable finance.
Discussion topics include:
Hooks and the Uniswap v4 architecture
Dynamic fees, custom accounting, and liquidity management
New mechanisms for market making and onchain trading
Emerging applications and design possibilities enabled by hooks
