Uniswap v4's Big Upgrades
Uniswap v4 has finally landed and its launch across 12 different chains brings some very cool additional features that enable new experiences!
The key standouts of the v4 launch are centered on features around gas optimization and pool customization. On top of v4 coming out, a handful of new applications are launching, seeking to build on the fresh Uniswap upgrade.

Cheaper Pool Creation 💸
In earlier versions of Uniswap, creating a new pool required deploying a separate contract, which was costly and gas-intensive. With the launch of Uniswap v4, this cost is cut down by around 99.99%! Instead of launching a whole new pool and contract, the singleton contract now creates the pool and tracks its state.
Welcome Hooks 🪝
Hooks are a powerful new feature in Uniswap v4. They are external smart contracts that can be attached to any pool, allowing developers more pool customization. Hooks have a variety of different use cases, for example, if some liquidity is out of the current price range and sitting idle, hooks can enable that liquidity to be deposited into another protocol to earn additional yield instead of going unused.
Sorella Labs | @SorellaLabs 🐍
Sorella Labs is developing a project called Angstrom to assist apps in minimizing the amount of MEV that can be extracted from its protocol. It does this through application-specific sequencing in which apps are able to determine how transactions are sequenced. Angstrom is also a Uniswap v4 hook that assists in protecting LPs from arbitrageurs and swappers from sandwich attacks.
