Uniswap Hook Incubator 8 Highlights: Arc-Hook
Arc-Hook is a Uniswap v4 hook created by @drips_young that creates private, invite-only liquidity pools for institutions and big traders.
Normal Uniswap pools are completely public, anyone can see who’s trading and copy them. Arc-Hook fixes this by letting only approved (whitelisted) users join, but it keeps their wallet addresses completely hidden using zero-knowledge tech (KZG commitments).
No one can see who’s in the pool or front-run their trades. It runs on Unichain and uses Reactive Network to automatically keep the private whitelist in sync, no manual updates or central servers needed. This makes it much safer and more attractive for serious money to trade on @Uniswap without exposing their strategies or getting sandwiched.
In other words, it's like a hidden, compliant VIP section inside Uniswap v4.
Thanks to everyone who joined us at the George Brown College in Toronto last week, we were happy to have the opportunity to meet some of the areas most promising next generation of builders!
Uniswap Hook Incubator 8 Hightlights: TWAMM-X
Reactive recently took part in the 8th iteration of the Uniswap Hook Incubator to challenge some talented developers to see what they could build with the combination of Uniswap V4 Hooks and Reactive Contracts.
Let's take a closer look at some of those projects, starting with TWAMM-X by @jajak5242, a privacy-first Time-Weighted Average Market Maker hook built for Uniswap v4.
Sound complicated? Basically it's a smart Uniswap v4 hook that lets you make big trades without getting front-run or sandwiched by bots.
It hides your entire order using zero-knowledge proofs and encryption, then splits it into small pieces that execute gradually over time (like a safe TWAP). No one can see what you're buying or selling until it's already done.
For liquidity providers, the fees from these big orders aren't paid in random big lumps. Instead, they get turned into a smooth, steady 24-hour yield stream, so you know exactly how much you'll earn every day.
It also connects to Reactive Network so everything happens automatically, with no extra bots or manual work needed, creating safer big trades and predictable profits for LPs!
Got a question for Reactive Network? Drop it below 👇
We collect questions from our community almost every week, pitch them to our team and post the answers here on X.
Two questions per person max please!
Projects with treasuries on multiple chains waste hours every week chasing fees, collecting swaps on Ethereum, trading revenue on Base, protocol income on Arbitrum… then manually swapping, bridging, and distributing.
Traditional fixes? Multisig drudgery or risky off-chain bots.
Reactive Contracts solve it elegantly: One contract listens for fee events across any chain, automatically swaps if needed, bridges, and distributes proceeds directly to the DAO, stakers, or builders, all fully on-chain and autonomous.
Set it once. Revenue flows in the background. No more manual ops!
DeFi strategies can move from static to dynamic. Reactive Contracts allow positions to adjust automatically based on market conditions, enabling real-time rebalancing, risk management, and capital efficiency across chains.
Q1 in Review
Despite very challenging wider market conditions Q1 has marked a big transition for Reactive as we move from a stage of early experimentation into real-world execution, with live integrations, expanding market presence, and growing developer activity across our ecosystem!
From DeFi automation breakthroughs to new integrations, community expansion, and key infrastructure milestones, here’s a quick recap of some of the highlights:
Integration & Developer Focus
Fiet – Automated asynchronous settlement powered by Reactive Contracts
ReacDeFi – Introduced liquidation protection with continuous risk monitoring as a proof-of-concept with ETH Mainnet launch coming soon.
Uniswap Hook Incubator – Took part in UHI8 to explore programmable liquidity with event-led execution, more details on winners upcoming.
Reactive Bounty Campaign – Multiple rounds completed, introducing new developers to Reactive and proving advanced use cases
Ecosystem & Community
ETH Panda – Began expansion into Chinese-speaking developer and retail communities, more regions to follow.
Virtual Panels – Hosted discussions on the future of autonomous smart contract systems
Events - Attended a series of in-person events including DevCon and EthCC to spread awareness of Reactive
CMC - Expanded our presence on Coinmarketcap with regular content updates.
Data & Infrastructure
DIA Oracles – Integrated real-time price feeds for REACT, enabling data-driven automation
Reactive Contracts – Demonstrated production-ready cross-chain and event-led workflows through four separate bounty and hackthon campaigns
Token Milestones
Listings – Launched native REACT support on KuCoin and MEXC
Liquidity – Expanded access and improved market depth for REACT by introducing BASE liquidity to make REACT available on Coinbase and OKX for US users.
Staking - Staking has continued to prove popular with a record 88M tokens staked
What’s next?
Reactive has continued to expand its role in the shift toward true decentralised autonomous infrastructure, positioning event-led execution as a core primitive for the next generation of DeFi applications. As we move into Q2, our focus is on scaling adoption and deepening real-world usage:
- Expanding live integrations across DeFi and beyond including the launch of full on-chain liquidation protection
- Growing the developer ecosystem and expanding tooling
- Further increasing $REACT accessibility and liquidity
- Seeking to advance automation as core blockchain infrastructure with larger protocols and institutions
A huge thanks from the Reactive team for being part of the journey so far, let’s take Reactive Network much further in Q2!

Reactive Contract Utility: Cross-Chain Arbitrage
Cross-chain arbitrage is one of the most powerful opportunities in DeFi, but today it relies heavily on off-chain bots, latency-sensitive infrastructure, and fragmented execution. Opportunities are identified off-chain, transactions are submitted across multiple networks, and execution depends on speed, gas, and coordination. This introduces delay, risk, and inefficiency.
Reactive Contracts change this by making arbitrage event-driven and on-chain. Instead of relying on external systems, contracts can listen to events across multiple chains and respond immediately, turning arbitrage into a native capability of the blockchain itself. 🧵
We're happy to share that our CEO @rongkaiwong will be representing Reactive Network as an advisor starting from today at the RBS FinSec Incubator, held in Toronto and working with some of the most promising start-ups in Fintec!
