Uniswap v4 hook · Robinhood Chain

Arbitrage takes.
The hook takes it back.

Every time a price moves, bots trade against liquidity providers at the old price. HOOKFI charges those arbitrage swaps a tax. 80% goes straight back to LPs. 20% buys $HOOKFI and burns it. Normal trades pay nothing extra.

Mechanism

A leak, a hook, a split.

Everything below happens inside the swap itself. There's no off-chain part and no one to trust in the middle.

01

The leak

When the real price moves, a pool still quotes the old one. Arbitrage bots trade the gap, and liquidity providers eat the loss. It's called LVR, and it's the biggest cost of providing liquidity.

02

The hook

At the first swap of each block the hook records the price. Any swap that pushes price further from that anchor pays a tax sized to the move. Small moves in a free band, and moves back toward the anchor, pay nothing.

03

The split

The tax splits in the same transaction. 80% is donated to in-range LPs. 20% waits in the hook until anyone sweeps it to the buyback, which swaps it for $HOOKFI and sends it to 0x…dEaD.

The numbers

Run an arb through the hook.

Same formula the contract uses. Pick a trade, see where the money goes.

Free band: 10 ticks (~0.1%). Tax cap: 5% of the trade. Capture rate is set in the contract; this slider shows what other settings would do.

Where the tax goes

LPs first. Then the fire.

  1. Donated to LPs, same transaction80% is added to the pool's fees for in-range liquidity. No claiming, no waiting.
  2. Swept to the buyback20% sits in the hook as a claim until anyone calls sweep. The dashboard has a button for it.
  3. Bought and burned, wherever $HOOKFI tradesWhile $HOOKFI is on its Pons bonding curve, the buyback buys straight off the curve. After it graduates, it buys through the Pons Uniswap v4 pool. Either way there is a slippage floor, the tokens go to 0x…dEaD, and the buyback has no withdraw function.
$HOOKFI

The token the hook burns.

Fair launch on ponsfamily.com. The launch curve seeds its own Uniswap v4 pool when it fills, so there's no team liquidity to pull.

  1. 1Launch on the Pons curveBuy and sell on ponsfamily.com or right here. Both trade the same curve. Any burn at this stage buys straight off it.
  2. 2The curve fillsPons moves the raised ETH and tokens into a locked Uniswap v4 pool. Nobody can pull that liquidity.
  3. 3The burn followsFrom then on the buyback buys $HOOKFI through that pool. Same keeper, same floor, same dead address.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Where do I buy $HOOKFI?

On ponsfamily.com, or with the trade box on this site. While it's on the bonding curve both trade the same Pons curve at the same price. After it graduates, trade it on Pons.

When do burns start?

When the buyback has ETH to spend. That ETH is the hook's 20% share, swept from Uniswap v4 pools that use the HOOKFI hook, so burns start once those pools see arbitrage. Before graduation the buyback buys straight off the Pons curve, after it through the Pons v4 pool. Every burn is a public transaction on the dashboard.

Does a normal trade pay the tax?

Only if it pushes the price further from where the block started, by more than the free band (10 ticks, about 0.1%). Small trades and trades that move price back toward the anchor pay nothing extra.

Can a bot dodge it by splitting a trade?

No. The anchor is set once per block, so splitting one big move into many small swaps in the same block pays about the same total. The test suite checks exactly this.

How do LPs get their 80%?

The hook calls donate on the pool in the same swap, which adds it to the fees of in-range liquidity. LPs collect it with their normal fees.

Who can move the 20% to the burn?

Anyone can call sweep to move it to the buyback. Buying $HOOKFI is keeper-only so there's always a slippage floor, and the output goes straight to the dead address.

Does the hook earn on the Pons pool?

No. It only works on Uniswap v4 pools created with the HOOKFI hook attached. The dashboard lists every hooked pool, and anyone can create one on Uniswap by pasting the hook address.

Can I check the code myself?

Yes. Every HOOKFI contract is verified on the Robinhood Chain explorer, and the addresses are in the contracts table above. The test suite covers retail swaps, arbitrage swaps, split trades, sweeps and burns.
