Uniswap has just released its latest version, Uniswap v4, bringing innovations that promise to transform the experience of users and developers in the decentralized exchange (DEX) universe. Now available on 12 blockchain networks, including Ethereum ($ETH ), Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism and Polygon, this update aims to increase the efficiency and flexibility of the protocol.

What's new in Uniswap v4?
The big news is “hooks,” a technology that allows developers to create custom logic for trading pairs. With this, new features can be added to liquidity pools, such as:
✅ Dynamic swap rates;
✅ Borrowing unused liquidity to generate extra income;
✅ Protection against impermanent losses;
✅ Defense mechanisms against MEV attacks, such as sandwich attacks.
The Uniswap Foundation has already awarded grants to nearly 800 developers, resulting in the creation of 150 innovative hooks, further expanding the possibilities within the platform.
Uniswap v4 arrives at a time of intense competition!
In recent months, Uniswap $UNI has lost its lead among DEXs to Solana’s leading decentralized exchange Raydium ($SOL ), which has been growing due to the memecoin boom. Data from DefiLlama shows that Uniswap has seen $96 billion in trading volume over the past 30 days, while Raydium has seen $122 billion.
Can Uniswap v4 reclaim its peak? Could this upgrade be the missing link to bring more liquidity and users to the protocol?
