Uniswap V4 aims to reduce gas costs for both swappers and liquidity providers, with pool creation being up to 99.99% cheaper compared to previous versions.
Uniswap has launched its V4 decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol on 12 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, and various layer-2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum and Base.
The Uniswap Foundation has issued grants to approximately 800 developers to foster the creation of innovative hooks, enhancing the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Over 150 unique hooks have already been developed, offering functionalities like lending unused liquidity for additional yield and automatic hedging against impermanent loss.
The V4 upgrade introduces "hooks," customizable plugins that allow developers to implement custom logic for trading pairs, enabling features such as dynamic fee adjustments and automated liquidity management.
