TechFlow news: Regarding the recent announcement that "Uniswap Labs plans to launch Uniswap v4," 0xTodd, partner at Nothing Research, took to Twitter stating that if Uni V4 launches, it will essentially become a paradise for meme coin projects:
-
Previously, creating new pools incurred high gas fees; now there will be one unified pool contract;
-
Previously, liquidity providers (LPs) could only earn trading fees, but now they can also charge exit fees;
-
Previously requiring WETH, users can now directly use ETH;
-
Previously vulnerable to MEV bots, now LPs themselves can execute MEV strategies.
Additional features include large-order splitting, limit orders, and fee reinvestment.
The core updates of Uniswap V4 consist of two major functional changes:
-
The first is Hooks, similar to plugins that trigger at specific points and enable various functionalities;
-
The second is the unified LP contract, which is why pool creation costs are now lower.
Besides these, other minor optimizations include charging creation fees and direct ETH usage.
