just applied for a
@UniswapFND grant 🦄
we're a small team building Hey Research Lab on robinhood chain. lots of late nights. the idea is simple:
price tells you what the market is doing. we want to show what the builder is doing.
before asking uniswap for anything, we didn't want to just write a nice proposal. we wanted to actually understand what's on chain. so we read every uniswap v4 hook on robinhood chain. all of them.
what we found surprised us:
→ 24,287 hook contracts
→ 321,938 pools using a hook
→ 16 hooks carry 83% of those hooked pools
→ 1 launch-protocol hook alone sits behind 189,583 of them
→ 21,508 hooks were used exactly once
→ 96.4% hook into swaps, 48.1% can rewrite the swap amount
→ on 15 sep, 5,515 hooks with the exact same permissions appeared in about 8 hours, one pool each
→ of 1,920 pools labelled "uniswap", only 437 actually came from uniswap's own v2/v3 factories
that's when it clicked for us. counting hooks isn't counting builders. somewhere in that long tail are real teams shipping real things on
@Uniswap, and right now almost nobody can see them.
that's what we want to build. a map of who actually builds here, checked on chain, open for anyone to use.
detection is already live. attribution is next.
application's in. whether it gets picked or not, we're building this anyway.
it's the thing we wished existed when we started on robinhood chain.
