Submit a hook idea New asset classes In traditional v3-style DEXes, all pools function identically whether they're handling stablecoins, memecoins, yield-bearing tokens, or volatile pairs. But not all asset classes behave the same.
Higher yields for LPs LPs are getting edged out by pro market makers and MEV bots. Strategies like Just-In-Time liquidity and cross-DEX arbitrage siphon profits that should belong to LPs.
Innovative financial products Want to build options, leveraged tokens, or structured products? Today, that means rewriting swap logic, liquidity handling, and more. Hooks in v4 change that: primitives can now plug into DEX infra natively.
MEV capture MEV is a hidden tax on users and LPs—often extracted by third parties. Hooks make MEV programmable. Capture it for LPs, reroute it to DAOs, eliminate it through auctions, or even subsidize user activity.
Privacy-enhanced trading Users want to trade without leaking intent or wallet history. Most privacy solutions rely on L2s or zk-heavy stacks. Hooks enable lightweight, on-chain privacy primitives.
Compliant DeFi infrastructure Institutions want DeFi access , but need compliance, auditability, and permissioning. Hooks let you add modular compliance logic: KYC gates, AML scoring, or role-based access, without rebuilding an entire DEX.
Incentives & gamification Hooks unlock new layers of user engagement. You can now turn a swap into a quest, a lottery, or a dynamic reward event without relying on off-chain servers or centralized systems.
Developer & trader tools Hooks expand what's possible, but building with them still needs better tooling: explorers, debuggers, SDKs, and no-code UIs. By creating the infra that powers hooks, you're enabling the next wave of DEX innovation.
