Grail, and everyone in the community—wanted to thank you again for the support. We’ve been trusted with a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly. Feels like everything I’ve learned throughout my years in DeFi has been leading to this moment. Hook now or die tryin 🪝

Most people have no clue what V4 hooks actually are, so I explained it. Once you understand the power of programmable liquidity, you will never see liquidity pools the same. The biggest upgrade in history is coming to LP’s because of hooks, and you need to be prepared. $HOOKR

.@DineroDom0 breaks down the $HOOKR and $0xZAPS correlation... Hookr is currently trading at $4.4M, viewed as a strong entry point as the bottom rounds out and ceilings start rising. 0xZaps moves off Hookr's momentum, typically tracking around 10% of Hookr's market cap given the beta relationship, though it may catch up closer given different underlying infrastructure. leverage hooks are a genuinely new primitive, letting any liquidity pool offer borrowing or leveraged long positions, something not previously available.

We’ve been deep in conversations with hook builders, launchpads and teams building on top of Hookr. The signal is clear: builders want more building blocks. Soon, Hookr Builder will open to new composable blocks from across the ecosystem. Building a hook? DMs are open.

Another X account suspended, another Hookr release shipped 🚀 Token launches now deploy with the same mechanics as @TradePools — but w ability to attach custom hooks on top. Launch through an Instant Launch or Continuous Clearing Auction, choose an ETH or $HOOKR pair, and give every market programmable onchain behavior from day one. The biggest upgrade is the $HOOKR burn flywheel: 🔥 ETH-paired launch swaps accrue a 0.30% protocol fee 🔥 Anyone can collect accrued fees into the burner 🔥 Bounded, owner-executed buybacks purchase $HOOKR 🔥 Every token bought is sent permanently to 0xDEAD “Burned” means permanently held at 0xDEAD; the token’s totalSupply value itself is unchanged. Also included: ⚡ Instant and Auction launches 🔗 ETH or $HOOKR pairing ✨ Simple Mode for fast, visual launches 🛠 Full Mode for complete control 🔒 Launchpad-owned locked liquidity 🔎 Dedicated $HOOKR-market discovery and filtering 📊 USD FDV, holders, launch age, volume, trades and measured price change 🔥 Accurate burn accounting across token pages ↗️ Exact explorer links for every transaction 🗃 Previous launches and historical data remain available Launches are simpler. Markets are programmable. Activity is verifiable. Fees become fuel for the $HOOKR economy. Hook. Launch. Trade. Burn.

Staking Campaign 2 is live. 14 days. 100% of 0xZAPS trading fees at work: → 50% streams to 0xZAPS stakers in WETH → 50% market-buys $HOOKR, burned to 0x…dEaD — Every buy an immutable onchain Hook Block. Deposits open now. Rewards start 21:00 UTC.

This is potentially $hookr biggest article yet. It expands the vision from “advanced Uniswap v4 launchpad” into something closer to a programmable financial-market platform. The big idea: the same LP liquidity could power spot trading + leverage/lending, allowing LPs to potentially earn swap fees + borrow interest, while Hookr manages collateral, debt and liquidations. If they can actually ship this safely, Hookr could evolve into: Launchpad → programmable markets → lending/leverage → full DeFi infrastructure. And $HOOKR could sit directly inside that economy through bonding + fee-driven buybacks/bonding. Huge concept. But important: Leveraged Hooks are still design-stage, not live, and this is dramatically harder/riskier to build than the existing hooks. In short: the potential ceiling for Hookr just got significantly higher.

Results are in... In just 7 days, ~7% of the total $0xZaps supply was staked and earned 1.15 ETH in fees. At a ~$70K FDV, that means roughly $4,900 worth of staked $0xZaps generated ~$2,150 in ETH fees in a single week. I’ll let you annualize that one. Now we’re gearing up for Staking Campaign #2#, with a new fee split: → 50% of ETH trading fees distributed to $0xZaps stakers → 50% used to market-buy $HOOKR and permanently bond it into our new Hook Blocks So every trade does two things: Pays stakers in ETH + permanently locks $HOOKR into the protocol. More details on Hook Blocks soon. 🪝

These hooks really reigniting my urge to compose in DeFi... Leveraged Hooks enable pool-native borrowing — directly against a pool's own liquidity, no separate lending market. The pool itself is the collateral engine. Contracts are written, not live yet — going through repeated rounds of adversarial audits before this touches mainnet. Separately: locking $HOOKR to boost a launch — tests are finalized, shipping to prod shortly. Hookr on 🫡🪝

⚡️Expanding our fee tokenization primitive for @TradePools 🦄 Uniswap's new launchpad gives creators % of LP fees — locked in an NFT. We just shipped Tokenizations on OpenZaps: fractionalize that NFT into liquid ERC20 tokens. How it works: → Deposit FEEB NFT into a vault. → Mint 1B ERC20 shares that represent claiming rights. → Anyone holding ERC20s can harvest() ETH fees pro-rata. → 100% of tokenization fees market buy $0xZAPS. Cool use-cases: Raise upfront capital. Sell a slice of your fee stream to investors today instead of waiting for swaps to trickle in. Launch a token, fund your project, keep building. Community-owned fee streams. Fans buy shares in their favorite pool's revenue. Every swap on Uniswap pays them. Aligned incentives, no staking gimmicks. Borrow against future yield. Tokenized fee shares are liquid ERC20s — use them as collateral in lending markets. Unlock credit without selling your position. Treasury diversification. Allocate 10% of vault shares to your DAO. The protocol earns from its own ecosystem without dumping tokens. Fee stream trading. Long a creator's volume without holding their meme coin. Pure exposure to LP fee generation — a new DeFi primitive. Live on Robinhood Chain ↓
