Uniswap v4 is Here – A New Era of DeFi

Uniswap v4 is now live on ten chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base and BNB Chain, after code contributions from hundreds of community members, nine audits and a $15.5 million bug bounty. The release is positioned as the most customizable and lowest-cost version of the Uniswap Protocol, built on hooks, which are modular plugins that let developers customize pools, swaps, fees and LP positions. Over 150 hooks have already been developed, and creating new pools is up to 99.99% cheaper than in previous versions. The article states that no critical bugs were found in the $2.35 million security competition or the bug bounty.
