Uniswap v4: The Big Letdown? 🤫

So, Uniswap finally dropped their v4 upgrade, the one they’ve been teasing for like, forever. 😩 It’s all fancy with these “hooks” that let developers customize everything, like it’s a build-a-bear workshop for your crypto. 🐻‍❄️

But here’s the thing: UNI, the token, did a little happy dance for like, two seconds, then promptly face-planted back into reality. 😔

The Long-Awaited Uniswap v4 for Developers… Who Didn’t Ask 😜

Remember when Uniswap promised us v4 in June 2023? Yeah, me neither. They’ve been playing coy with the timeline, like a teenager pretending they’re not into you. 🙄

Anyways, they finally “went live” (aka, someone hit the “publish” button) earlier this week, with everyone’s favorite buzzwords: “hooks” and “liquidity.” 💅 The best part? Uniswap is claiming their pools are 99.99% cheaper to create. *whispers* *Just like my last date*…

“Uniswap v4 is here! v4 turns Uniswap Protocol into a developer platform. Made possible with the introduction of hooks ‒ contracts that allow anyone to customize how pools, swaps, fees, and LP positions interact. Hooks mean unlimited new features that drive deeper liquidity and more swaps,” Uniswap claimed via social media.

They even threw in native Ethereum support, which is like, the bare minimum for a DeFi project in 2025. 🥱

Oh, and let’s not forget the UNI token. It’s like they thought v4 was going to be a magic cure for all their problems. But the market, as usual, had other plans.

The whole thing was a little bit like watching a friend try too hard at a party… kinda awkward. 🙈

Is it the macro environment? Maybe. Is it the fact that Uniswap’s v4 upgrade is basically just a bunch of devs playing around with their new toys? Probably. 😜

The truth is, only time will tell if this new version actually brings some excitement to the Uniswap scene. In the meantime, we’ll just be here sipping our margaritas and watching the drama unfold. 🍹
