Uniswap V4 Security Guide: Hooks, Pools, and New Attack Vectors You Need to Know Before Deploying
Uniswap V4 hooks are the most powerful — and most dangerous — primitive in AMM history. One malicious or misconfigured hook can drain an entire pool in a single transaction. Here's what every developer and DeFi user needs to check before touching V4. I've gone through the V4 architecture, the PoolManager contract, and a stack of early hook implementations. What I found surprised even me — and I audit contracts for a living. The vulnerability surface here isn't just new, it's fundamentally different from anything that came before in AMM design. Let me walk you through exactly what's at risk. Uniswap V4 moves all pools into a single singleton contract called PoolManager. Instead of deploying a new pair contract for every token pair (V2/V3 style), every pool lives in one contract and is identified by a PoolKey struct. This reduces gas significantly — but it also means a bug in one pool's…
