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. As well, Position Manager in v4 was designed for complex operations and safe-staking. From token-based fee discounts to MEV minimization, v4 provides an wide opportunity for researchers and developers — regardless of skillset.Prizes

Implement a hook, leveraging-first class features
* Dynamic Fees - showcase potential hooks that rely on dynamic fees to reward LPs or swappers
* Custom Curves - showcase hooks swapping on a custom curve
* Hook Fees - showcase novel hook fee designs
* Asynchronous Swaps / App-level sequencing - perform asynchronous swaps where output tokens are given a few blocks later
* General Hooks - use of hook functions
* Liquidity managing hooks - hooks which automate or streamline liquidity management
Qualification Requirements
A proper interface is not required. Evidence of working code is more than sufficient, such as: * unit tests with proper assertions * succesful testnet transactions * local testing on anvil

The category is for integrations with Uniswap v4 such as periphery contracts, developer infrastructure, user abstractions. Some ideas include, but are not limited to:
* Pool Operators - contracts which unlock and call PoolManager
* Batched liquidity operations - contracts which leverage Position Manager's command system for complex liquidity sequences
* Liquidity Staking (Subscribers)
* Developer tooling
* User abstractions
