How this hook works

Launch pool gate

Zip launches tokens that live on several blockchains at once. This hook guards the Uniswap pools for Zip tokens so that only the Zip factory can create them.

Only Zip opens pools

A pool using this hook can only be created by the Zip factory. Anyone else trying to open one is refused.

The code that does this (beforeInitialize):

function beforeInitialize(address sender, PoolKey calldata, uint160) external view returns (bytes4) {
    if (msg.sender != address(IGuardFactory(factory).poolManager())) revert OnlyPoolManager();
    if (sender != factory) revert OnlyFactory();
    return IHooks.beforeInitialize.selector;
}

No early pool at a bad price

Because the token's address is known before launch, this stops anyone from opening its pool first at a wrong price to trap the launch liquidity.

The code that does this (beforeInitialize):

function beforeInitialize(address sender, PoolKey calldata, uint160) external view returns (bytes4) {
    if (msg.sender != address(IGuardFactory(factory).poolManager())) revert OnlyPoolManager();
    if (sender != factory) revert OnlyFactory();
    return IHooks.beforeInitialize.selector;
}

No fees from the hook
The hook only checks who creates the pool. It takes nothing from trades and cannot move anyone's money.

Who controls it: The hook itself has no owner and no settings, and cannot be upgraded. The Zip factory it trusts is fixed when the hook is deployed.

Based on the hook’s published code.

Contract

✓Code is fixedNo proxy, so the code that runs today is the code that runs tomorrow.

✓No admin key foundIt has no owner wallet, so the hook developer has no single key to change its rules (as far as the standard check goes).

✓Source code publishedThe code on the block explorer matches what's deployed (contract: ZipInitGuard).

Pools

✓Pools trade in Uniswap’s appIt doesn’t touch swaps, so Uniswap’s app routes its pools automatically.

✓Won’t reject swapsNo beforeSwap, so trades always reach the pool’s curve.

✓Doesn’t touch swap amountsTraders get exactly what the pool’s curve and fee give.

Track record2 to review

!Not in Uniswap’s hook registryNot listed by Uniswap Labs, so nobody outside the hook developer has looked at it. Most abandoned and malicious hooks are unlisted.

!Brand newIts first pool was created less than a day ago, so it has no track record. Prefer proven hooks for a real launch.

?No audit linkedNothing in the registry. Ask the hook developer for one or review the source yourself.

iKnown template3 other deployments share this exact bytecode, often a launchpad deploying one per token.

What it can do

Runs at pool creation

It runs when a pool is created, often to lock in that pool’s settings.

Hook history

Nothing recorded yet.

Counted from what the hook recorded on-chain across all its pools, for every action in its published code, plus token transfers in and out of it.
