Seven Projects Use Uniswap v4 Hooks; Bordrless Builds Its Own Hooks on Solana

Seven projects are using Uniswap v4 Hooks to change pool fees, launches and arbitrage payouts, while Bordrless pursues separate programmable rules on Solana, leaving lasting use and revenue unproven.

Each hook is an external smart contract attached to a pool. It can add programmed steps at different stages, including pool setup, liquidity adjustments and swaps. Seven of the eight projects in this group use Uniswap v4; Bordrless has its own system.

Hookr, a Robinhood Chain platform, offers configurable features for dynamic fees, anti-sniping rules, token burns and rewards for liquidity providers. Its tools also include a hook directory and developer resources. Programmable offers a no-code module option and a custom launch path for developers, with support for Ethereum mainnet and Robinhood Chain.

Hookr partnered with StonkBrokers on Pair Token, an automatically compounding asset representing a share of a full-range Uniswap v4 liquidity pool. Minting and redemption are free. Compounding takes 10% of liquidity-provider fees for STONKBROKER repurchases.

What The Hook (WTH) sets out payout structures for arbitrage across linked pools when trades remain profitable after costs. In its own pools, traders receive 10% of captured gains and the treasury gets 90%. For third-party pools, the default allocation is 5% to traders, 45% to the liquidity pool, 40% to the treasury and 10% to referral partners. Individual partner deployments can use different shares. Treasury revenue does not by itself establish that WTH token holders receive distributions.

The Standard Reserve tracks net Ether (ETH) flows in a designated pool pairing Ether with STANDARD. Net inflows correspond to expanded token issuance and reserve accumulation. Outflows correspond to issuance contraction, alongside buybacks and burns.

Fables Finance combines adjustable pool fees on Robinhood Chain with a ve(3,3) model linking token locks, voting and liquidity incentives. Claus, issued through Programmable, lets its hook functions be added, changed or removed after launch without reissuing the token.

Bordrless applies its own programmable rules on Solana to token transfers, minting, burning and trading. It has a separate token standard, decentralized exchange and launchpad, and does not directly use Uniswap v4 Hooks.

Custom code adds logic that needs review, while shallow liquidity can magnify price moves in early tokens. A useful pool feature also does not ensure that a related token receives protocol income. The business case for these projects depends on repeat activity from users and income that can be measured on the protocol.
