How hooks fit
Why a Uniswap v4 hook lets a pool's LP fees, arb recapture, royalty and Hook Block take pay a token, and how fee rights off the hook plug in.
Hookr pools run on the Hookr hook, a Uniswap v4 hook that Hook Blocks snap into. The hook sees every swap, which makes every flow of a pool an onchain payment with a recipient: the LP fees, arb recapture, the creator royalty and each Hook Block take. A recipient can be a contract, so the tokenizer points those flows at the revenue token.
A tokenized launch
On a tokenized launch every pool's royalty names the revenue token. The pools' LP is locked to a door for the term, so their LP fees and arb recapture reach the token on every sync. The royalty is fixed when the pool launches, so it keeps paying the token even after the term ends and the LP goes back to the creator.
Hook Blocks
Every admitted Hook Block binds on a tokenized launch exactly as on any other launch, on each pool and on the token's own market alike.
- Tax + Conversion pays a creator payout. On a tokenized launch that payout belongs to the holders, so the block must name the revenue token as its creator recipient, or the launch does not go through.
- Every other block with a Hook Block take pays a recipient of its own. It binds as usual, and the token's page shows where that take goes.
- A block that only adds to the LP fee needs nothing: the locked LP collects that fee for the token.
A Hook Block take with the token as recipient is credited in the pool's Rules ledger, and the token claims it on every sync.
The token's own market
When the market opens at mint, the revenue token / ETH pool runs on the same hook, its LP locked to the same door. Every trade of the revenue token pays LP fees that become its own holders' income.
Fee rights off the hook
For anything that is not a Hookr pool, small contracts called doors do what the hook does natively: each holds a fee right and pushes its income into the token. Uniswap v3 and v4 positions sit in a position door. A pools.trade fee NFT, a Pons fee right or a Long fee right sits in a door of its own. A new platform plugs in with a new door, and nothing about the token or the tokenizer changes.
