Community contributions to Uniswap v4
A few months ago, we announced a vision for Uniswap v4. In it, we introduced hooks and how they turn liquidity on Uniswap into a platform for developers to create pools with new and unique features.
This vision for Uniswap came with unfinished v4 code to serve as a starting point for the Uniswap community to build on. Since then, the Uniswap community has been out in force. With the support of the Uniswap Foundation, developers have worked on hundreds of hook ideas, implementations, hackathons, Github commits, and educational resources.
Hooks are the newest addition in Uniswap v4. They are like plugins that let developers innovate on the Uniswap Protocol's liquidity and security to create new AMM features.
Hooks are smart contracts that can run arbitrary code at various points of a pool action's lifecycle. These hooks are permissionless, meaning anyone can create and deploy a hook. Once created, pool deployers choose which hooks they want to enable in their pools; hooks are not enforced across all pools. For example, a USDC/ETH pool deployer can enable a TWAMM hook and a more resistant oracle. For a more technical explanation of hooks, please read the Uniswap Foundation's documentation.

Uniswap v4 is a community effort. By building in public, Uniswap Labs, the Uniswap Foundation, and the larger Uniswap community can all meaningfully contribute in ways that will build better onchain market infrastructure for all of crypto.
