  • Uniswap unveils the 4th iteration of the exchange.
  • Uniswap v4 aims to increase exchange customizability, liquidity, and trade efficiency while decreasing latency and gas consumption.
  • Uniswap v4 introduces innovations such as hooks, singleton architecture, and flash accounting.

Uniswap v3 revolutionized DeFi and on-chain liquidity as the leading decentralized exchange protocol, facilitating over $1.5 trillion in trade volume. Building on this success, Uniswap has unveiled Uniswap v4, a game-changer in blockchain liquidity creation and token trading. 

1/ Today, we’re announcing our vision for Uniswap v4 🦄

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

Enhanced Customizability with Hooks

Uniswap v4 introduces hooks to enhance customizability, enabling contracts to execute specific actions at different stages of a pool’s lifecycle. 

Hooks act as contracts that interact with the Uniswap protocol and perform actions based on predefined conditions. These conditions can include events like pool creation, trading activity, or changes in liquidity. When these conditions are met, the hook contract executes the specified actions.

With hooks, users can create unique pools with time-weighted average market makers (TWAMMs)—a mechanism that times the market, allowing traders to execute large orders with minimal slippage and low gas fees—dynamic fees based on volatility or on-chain limit orders. 

These innovations unlock endless possibilities within the Uniswap ecosystem, ensuring efficient and secure liquidity provision. By leveraging hooks, developers can extend the capabilities of Uniswap v4 and tailor the protocol to suit specific trading strategies or requirements.

Streamlined Pool Management with Singleton Architecture: 

Uniswap v4 adopts a singleton architecture, moving away from the factory model employed in previous versions. Singleton architecture refers to a design pattern in software development where only one instance of a class or object can exist within an entire system.

In previous versions of Uniswap, each liquidity pool was created using a separate smart contract, resulting in multiple contract instances for different pools. All pools now reside within a single, smart contract, reducing costs associated with pool creation and enabling more efficient routing across multiple pools. This architectural shift establishes a powerful platform for rapid and expressive automated market maker (AMM) innovation.

Flash Accounting

Flash accounting is a feature introduced in Uniswap v4 that aims to optimize gas efficiency and improve the accuracy of accounting calculations in the Uniswap protocol.

In decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, accounting for token balances and price calculations is essential for determining the correct exchange rates and executing trades. However, traditional accounting methods in decentralized exchanges can be costly regarding gas fees and introduce inaccuracies due to timing issues.

Flash accounting addresses these challenges by introducing a more efficient and accurate accounting mechanism. Instead of relying on external price oracles, flash accounting leverages the internal state of the Uniswap v4 protocol to calculate token balances and prices at the exact moment of a transaction.

When a trade or swap occurs in Uniswap v4, flash accounting ensures that the token balances and prices used in the transaction are based on the most up-to-date information within the protocol, eliminating the need for costly external price lookups or reliance on potentially stale data.

Utilizing flash accounting reduces Uniswap v4 gas costs associated with price calculations and eliminates the risk of inaccuracies caused by outdated information. This results in more efficient and reliable trading experiences for users and cost savings regarding transaction fees.

Seamless Trading Experience with Native ETH Support 

Uniswap v4 reintroduces native ETH support, eliminating the need to wrap ETH into an ERC-20 token (WETH) as in previous versions. Wrapping a token means taking a coin from its native blockchain and supporting it on another network to enable cross-chain trading; wrapped tokens represent a 1:1 value of the native coin, just on another blockchain. 

WETH and ETH pairs are now supported in Uniswap v4, resulting in significant gas cost reductions for users by eliminating extra wrapping and unwrapping steps.

Additional Features for Enhanced Efficiency 

Uniswap v4 introduces several notable features to enhance user experience and optimize gas efficiency:

  • ERC1155 Accounting: Uniswap v4 supports the minting and burning of singleton-implemented ERC-1155 tokens for efficient token management within the singleton, mitigating the need for ERC-20 transfers to and from the contract.
  • Governance Updates: Uniswap v4 introduces separate governance fee mechanisms for swap and withdrawal fees. Governance can elect to take up to a capped percentage of the swap fee and, if enabled by hooks, a limited percentage of the withdrawal fee. Unlike Uniswap v3, governance no longer controls the permissible fee tiers or tick spacings.
  • Gas Reductions: Uniswap v4 incorporates various optimizations to reduce gas costs. Hooks eliminate the need for the protocol-enshrined price oracle, resulting in gas savings. Flash accounting, singleton architecture, and native ETH support improve gas efficiency.
  • donate(): The donate() function allows users, integrators, and hooks to directly pay liquidity providers within a pool using the tokens of the pool. This feature facilitates efficient payments and opens up possibilities for new fee systems or tipping liquidity providers.

Conclusion

Uniswap v4 represents a significant evolution of the Uniswap Protocol, offering enhanced customization, improved gas efficiency, and support for native ETH trading pairs. Using hooks, developers can create custom pools with functionalities like TWAMMs, dynamic fees, and on-chain limit orders. The singleton architecture and flash accounting simplify pool management and optimize routing across multiple pools. 

Uniswap v4 empowers the DeFi community by providing a flexible platform for decentralized exchange and liquidity provision on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
