The exchange also highlighted that Uniswap v4 is the most customizable and less costly version of the protocol yet. It will introduce modular plugins called “hooks” that will transform the protocol into a developer platform with nearly endless customization capabilities.

With 150+ customizable hooks, the platform will introduce features like dynamic fees and automated liquidity management. This will enable faster development and deeper liquidity, ultimately driving innovation and experimentation in DeFi.

According to the exchange, pools on v4 are expected to be 99.99% cheaper to create, and swappers can expect significant savings on multi-hop swaps.

Importantly, the Uniswap crypto exchange team has assured that the v4 is the “most audited codebases ever deployed onchain.”

Records show that the team has tested the version's security through nine audits and a $2.35M security competition with over 500 participants. The largest bug bounty program ensured the protocol's security and integrity. Notably, neither in the competition nor in the bug bounty program was a single critical bug found.

The launch of Uniswap v4 is a significant development in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The new version of the protocol is expected to provide greater flexibility, lower costs, and enhanced security for users.

As the leading decentralized crypto exchange, Uniswap has processed over $2.75 trillion in trading volume across versions 2 and 3, with zero hacks recorded to date. The exchange is known for its user-friendly interface and efficient trading capabilities.

With the launch of Uniswap v4, the exchange is further cementing its position as a hub for innovation and experimentation in the DeFi sector.
