Uniswap Labs has recently released a draft of the code for Uniswap V4, as announced in a blog post from Uniswap’s Founder, Hayden Adams. This new version features “hooks” or plugins that allow developers to create custom liquidity pools, aiming to enhance the largest decentralized crypto exchange in the world by volume.

The significant “hooks” feature in V4 will enable future developers to create innovative aspects of the exchange, such as on-chain limit orders, automatic deposits to lending protocols, auto-compounded liquidity provider (LP) fees, and other potential advancements. However, despite the excitement surrounding this release, it is essential to note that V4 will not be implemented until more feedback is obtained from the community.

As part of the process of launching a new version of Uniswap, the team will now converse with members of the Uniswap community and make iterative changes to the base code over time. This collaboration aims to achieve consensus around a final version, which will then be submitted as a formal proposal to Uniswap’s governing body, UniswapDAO.

The primary purpose of Uniswap V4 is to create a system for pool deployers to introduce code that performs specific actions at key points throughout the pool’s lifecycle – before or after a swap or before or after an LP position is changed. As a result, deployers will have the potential to create time-weighted average market makers (TWAMMs) to sell large amounts of crypto in small batches over time. Ultimately, this could help traders avoid issues such as frontrunning by EVM bots or suffering from adverse price movements, as well as allow on-chain limit orders.

Uniswap Labs Engineer Sara Reynolds expresses excitement about V4, stating that the update will enable automated market maker (AMM) exchanges like Uniswap to develop more rapidly than ever before, thanks to the inherent customizability it allows. Likewise, Uniswap Labs Head of Comms Bridget Frey highlights that this new version could facilitate faster and more straightforward innovation for various projects building on top of Uniswap’s security and liquidity.

Although Uniswap V4 is a significant step forward in the world of decentralized exchanges, there is still a need for continued innovation and collaboration with the crypto community. With the ongoing discussions, feedback incorporation, and gradual alteration of the base code, it is essential to strike a balance between continuous progress and skepticism, ensuring that the best possible version of Uniswap emerges. Only time will tell if Uniswap V4 meets the high expectations of the crypto community and successfully propels the world of decentralized exchanges into the future.
