Pools2 to review
!Pools don’t trade in Uniswap’s app yetIt runs code on swaps, so Uniswap’s app only routes it once Uniswap Labs approves it, and it isn’t approved yet. Adding liquidity still works, and other apps can trade it.
!Can reject swapsbeforeSwap runs on every trade and can revert it. Used for launch limits and start times; check when it says no, since holders see a failed trade on the token.
iControls the swap fee1 of its pools use a dynamic fee the hook sets per trade, so LP income depends on its logic.
iControls who can add liquiditybeforeAddLiquidity checks every deposit, so outside LPs may be blocked.
✓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 team 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 team for one or review the source yourself.
