Uniswap v4 just went live and we think it is a giant leap for AMMs.
People keep asking, “Why? What can I do with it?” Here’s our take:
The truth is, no one knows yet—but experiments are already happening.
At its most basic, Uniswap v4 is Uniswap v3 but much more gas-efficient because everything happens in a single contract. It also introduces a native mechanism for liquidity incentives (staking) that will make staking great again. MSGA
But that’s just the simplest case, without Hooks.
What even are Hooks?
Hooks... let anyone build entirely new exchange mechanisms on top of Uniswap liquidity.
This means a lot of ideas long discussed by AMM researchoooors are finally going to be tested:
• Pools that capture MEV and return it to LPs
• Price curves that adjust dynamically
• New mechanisms for token launches
• Putting idle liquidity to use in other protocols
Will they all work? No. But this wave of rapid experimentation will probably lead to discoveries that make AMMs unstoppable.
2025 is the year AMMs undisputedly take over.
Let’s go. 🚀
P.S. Revert integration coming very soon.
