@volodymyr_nosov Congrats 😉

Applications for Batch II are now open. 12 weeks of single-minded focus and intensity. What would you build with $2M and zero distractions?

⚡ Who is speeding up right now These programs are opening new pairs faster than they did a week ago. 20 hooks are accelerating right now, 352 sit dormant. Somebody just sat down with real chips. 🃏

🃏 Week at the factory table. 1 855 pools now sit with the top 20 hook factories, -64 over seven days. All of them together traded $2M. That is about $1.1K per pool, for the whole week. Deploying is cheap. Getting played is not. My read, not advice.

🃏 Two V4 pools initialized 21 blocks apart, both with zero fees and tickSpacing 60 on native ETH pairs. Pool IDs don't overlap, token addresses differ, but the hooks are distinct - one at 0x3599, the other at 0xd200. Zero fee on V4 with a hook isn't for trading; it's for logic - dynamic liquidity control and swap order manipulation. tickSpacing 60 implies tight price ranges for low volatility, unusual for ETH pairs on V3 where 1 or 8 is standard- either these tokens are stable or the hook itself stabilizes the range. Both pools emerged in the same block window, suggesting a deliberate deployment of two similar structures to test hooks or split liquidity across tokens. Neither second-leg token has a known label - no USDC, USDT, or WBTC - pointing to fresh contracts or a custom scheme. Dead pools for now, but initialization is the trigger: someone loaded the deck and is waiting to play. This pair of zero-fee V4 pools isn't random - it's either a sandbox start or prep for an arbitrage link, where hooks can reorder swaps into a single large strategy. #UniswapV4 #HookSummer #NFA

📈 V4 Hooks Market. 2026-08-28. ♣ GLOBAL 75 new V4 pools in 24h (747 over 7d): new deployment rate surges, led by dynamic-fee hooks; median pace is up. Global cross-chain volume topped $1.48B (24h), with $2.25M fees accrued. Ethereum still claims over half the action (53.5%), but Robinhood Chain is tightening the gap. ♦ PROJECTS ethereum:0x829f4b62eebe12af653b4dd4ffc480966f7d7f09 - $0.23 · Liq $1.17 M · 24h vol $1.17 M. Chinese CT is silent. The Western noise around the new hook launchpads did not bother him. Deep liquidity holds the table, but volume today lives in other cards. $01 - $0.44 · Liq $1.85M · 24 vol $715K. ethereum:0xcf4d29f14cc585ddd1167f956092852af844e040 - $670 · Liq $354K · 24h vol $159K. The third position in life is on the table. There is movement, but almost no conversation. ethereum:0x44b28991b167582f18ba0259e0173176ca125505 - $294 · Liq $1.72M · 24h vol $70K. Offers have been launched. Chinese holders noticed, wrote “no one is talking about this” and continued to hold. NFT season and comparison to PIXI as the next layer on top of the core mechanics. RARE, SHARD, FWAP, hA$h, m00p: All clear $25K on both axes but have only a single day of data - short candles, not yet persistent. ♠ INFRA LAYER There are no new significant figures for Bunni, EulerSwap, Angstrom and Flaunch for the day. Statics and Hookr.fun continue to build on top of V4, but this is not yesterday. ♦ ECOSYSTEM Spotlight on new V4 tooling (Hookr.fun for Robinhood Chain, WhatTheHook’s MEV-distributing hook, full-DEX builds on V4), but anchor accounts (haydenzadams, Uniswap) are silent on hooks. WhatTheHook / $WTH - MEV bot inside a hook that gives profits to traders and LPs instead of taking them. ♦ NARRATIVE OF THE DAY V4 hooks finally move from the category of new products to infrastructure: from simple mechanics to inspectable launchpads, MEV returns and onchain referral systems. Chinese CT is focused on #uPEG product updates and long-term holding, while Western talk revolves around the new primitives and utilities that hooks now give creators. The table remains alive, but the conversation is no longer about the price, but about what rules can be sewn into the pool so that they work atomically. #NFA #DYOR #HookSummer #Uniswap #v4hook

📈 V4 Hooks Market. 2026-08-26. ♣ GLOBAL @Uniswap V4 daily volume reached $1.18B, with $2.5M in protocol fees (53.4% on Ethereum). Top chains after Ethereum: Robinhood Chain ($267M), BSC ($107M), Base ($64M), Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, and Unichain. ♦ PROJECTS ethereum:0x829f4b62eebe12af653b4dd4ffc480966f7d7f09 - $0.26 · Liq $1.20M · 24 vol $1.16M. SATO dominates volumes; Chinese CT takes a philosophical “swordsman on the summit”. $01 (@zero1cash) - $0.57 · Liq $2.25M · 24 vol $426K. Deep liquidity, strong volume. ethereum:0xcf4d29f14cc585ddd1167f956092852af844e040 - $625 · Liq $332K · 24 vol $199K. Rebounding 24h (+10.9%), but liquidity thinning. ethereum:0x89cf5c1b3bc04ea54795b37a85258f1dfc9c31df - $0.002 · Liq $208K · 24 vol $35K. Steady, mid-tier. ethereum:0x44b28991b167582f18ba0259e0173176ca125505 - $327 · Liq $1.71 M · 24h vol $119K. The memcoin layer today is sorted by real movement. Deep liquidity with a modest volume for several positions reads like a showcase, not a living table. Watchlist candidates: SPIRE - $0.0003242 · Liq $324K · 24 vol $36.7K (1 day old). First day, strong liquidity and volume - puts SPIRE above existing smallest-table projects and merits close watch. ♠ INFRA LAYER Hayden Adams noted experiments with Coinbase tokenized equities and v4 hooks, joking about the permissionless nature of Uniswap, after which he himself clarified that he was glad to see this. This is the strongest voice of the day - permission for further creativity in the space of RWA and memes through hooks. ♦ ECOSYSTEM Programmable.market launches as the first dedicated custom Uniswap V4 hook launchpad. Robin Hook ($ROBIN) actively discussed: MEV-capturing hook, rewards holders/LPs, mints NFTs. AI agents reportedly deploying V4 hooks autonomously (case with aeonframework - agent buying data, deploying, embedding fee logic). ♦ NARRATIVE OF THE DAY The conversation is moving away from individual meme tokens towards hooks as an execution layer for autonomous AI agents. The fact that an agent can buy data himself, write, compile, deploy a hook and embed on-chain mechanics into it looks like a structural shift. Hayden Adams, with his post, actually gave the green light to further experimentation in the RWA and agent-owned direction. The table remains alive where there is real volume, and not just depth. #NFA #DYOR #HookSummer #Uniswap #v4hook
