The preparation process for Uniswap v4 will consist of three phases. Following the first phase, v4 will undergo a comprehensive audit and finalization of the programming code. Subsequently, it will progress to the mainnet phase, expected to take place in the third quarter of 2024.

In the previous announcement of v4’s launch, the Uniswap Foundation stated that the biggest change in version 4 lies in the concept of “Hooks.” This mechanism allows developers to customize liquidity pools, adjust transaction fees flexibly, and support new types of transaction orders.

Additionally, there are several adjustments in smart contracts, market-making mechanisms, on-chain oracles, limit orders, and more. Overall, version 4 aims to optimize user trading experience (such as optimizing gas fees) and address the benefits for liquidity providers.

We see Uniswap as core financial infrastructure & think it should be built in public with space for community feedback and contribution.
