Uniswap Confirms V4 Hooks for Elysium Launch on Hyperliquid Layer-2

Uniswap (UNI) confirmed that its V4 Hooks feature will launch on Elysium, a new Layer-2 network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Elysium's mainnet enters its launch window on November 9, 2026.

V4 Hooks are smart contract plugins that let developers customize how liquidity pools behave. On Elysium, they will enable custom pool designs beyond the standard constant-product formula used by earlier Uniswap versions.

What V4 Hooks Bring to Elysium

Uniswap V4 introduced Hooks as a way to attach custom logic to pools at every stage of a swap. Examples include dynamic fees, on-chain limit orders, and custom oracle implementations. Deploying Hooks on Elysium gives developers a new environment to build these features.

Elysium is built on Arbitrum Orbit technology and settles to HyperEVM, the smart contract layer of Hyperliquid. HYPE is used as the gas token on Elysium. The network targets DeFi applications that need high throughput and low latency. Developers building on Elysium can use the Uniswap price chart to track UNI market data alongside their deployments.

Uniswap's Multi-Chain Expansion

Uniswap has deployed its protocol on multiple networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. The Elysium deployment adds another chain to that list and extends Uniswap's reach into the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

The Uniswap protocol has processed hundreds of billions of dollars in cumulative trading volume across all supported chains. V4 is the latest major version of the protocol, designed to reduce gas costs and give developers more flexibility through Hooks and a singleton pool architecture. The broader DeFi coins market continues to expand as more protocols deploy across Layer-2 networks.

Elysium Mainnet Timeline

Elysium's mainnet launch window opens on November 9, 2026. The network is developed by Kinetiq and uses Arbitrum Orbit technology. Full activation details are still being confirmed by the team.

The launch of Elysium adds a new Layer-2 to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, which has grown through its perpetual futures exchange and HyperEVM smart contract platform. Uniswap's presence at launch positions it as a core DEX tokens infrastructure provider on the new network.
