About

Uniswap needs no introduction and its upcoming version, Uniswap v4, reignites the protocol as a premier platform for developers. Uniswap v4 introduces Hooks, allowing developers to plug arbitrary solidity logic inside the swap lifecycle. Whether it’s pool creation, swaps, or liquidity modifications, developers can elect to execute solidity logic before and after an operation has happened. Beyond hooks, v4 also introduces dynamic fees, flash accounting, ERC-6909 balances, and a singleton design — all to enable gas-efficient complex operations. From token-based fee discounts to MEV minimization, v4 provides an wide opportunity for researchers and developers — regardless of skillset. For ETHGlobal Brussels, the Uniswap Foundation will be giving out 20,000 USDC in prizes!
