Uniswap Sets Launch Date for Protocol’s 4th Version

Uniswap Foundation Secretary Erin Koen has announced that the launch of Uniswap v4 is expected to happen within four months of the Dencun hard fork on the Ethereum blockchain.

This time frame is dependent on the success of the deployment of the Cancun runtime update to the mainnet, as well as the implementation of EIP-1153 during the process.

Uniswap aims for activation to happen by September, however, Koen noted that the timeline could be delayed depending on the protocol undergoing other security checks and an extended audit process.

The preliminary code for Uniswap v4 was released on June 13 and is set to feature “hooks” – plugins that offer users the ability to add new functions to liquidity pools such as altering commissions or order set up.

A “flash accounting” system also promises to independently reduce costs for liquidity providers by utilizing an on-chain storage solution to activate the EIP-1153.
