Hookr product updates · August 2026

Built in public. Every stage is explicit.

Hookr is becoming the place where any token can gain a programmable market: choose clear rules, lock them into a new pool, and make every result easier to discover and verify.

Contracts use receipts. Product releases use commits and checks.

01 / UPCOMING

The roadmap, by release track.

V6.1 expands Hookr's native blocks. Leveraged Hooks remain a separate market system. Access, integrations, and data work follow in their own lane—and every card says whether it is a candidate, active work, or design.

Six new native blocks for V6.1

The current V6.1 source candidate carries Hookr's five existing native mechanics forward and adds six new blocks. It is not merged, deployed, or promoted.

  • Timed Exit — Sets an immutable early-exit fee that falls as a Hookr-launched token matures.
  • Credential Gate — Controls buys with a reviewed credential policy while sells and withdrawals stay open.
  • Revenue Router — Locks every fee recipient and share when the market is created, then uses pull claims.
  • LP Loyalty — Rewards full-range liquidity from the next epoch so just-in-time deposits cannot capture the current one.
  • Market Guard — Adds bounded buy limits and fees from depth, volatility, hours, and optional reviewed oracle data without trapping sells.
  • Maturity Rewards — Routes early-exit proceeds to mature stakers through the same bounded exit-accounting path.
  • Lane boundary — New-token markets support all six; the existing-token attach candidate supports Credential Gate, Revenue Router, LP Loyalty, and Market Guard.

Parallel design track

Leveraged Hooks, redesigned as a separate market

Leveraged Hooks are a credit-and-liquidation market system, not a selectable hook block. The deprecated V1 deployment created no markets and remains permanently closed.

  • Upcoming research covers collateral, borrowing, interest, liquidation, and explicit market-capacity controls.
  • A usable next generation requires adversarial review, deployment receipts, live verification, and promotion.
  • No leverage market is live today, and Hookr will never route a wallet through V1.

$HOOKR utility cutover

Bring Boost and Lock Rewards forward to V5

The ETH-market flywheel and direct $HOOKR quote markets are live today. The work now is to carry the receipt-backed Boost and Lock Rewards modules into the current generation safely.

  • LIVE — Eligible ETH-pair activity credits 0.30% flywheel claims; collection and bounded $HOOKR buyback/burn are later steps.
  • LIVE — $HOOKR quote markets charge no protocol fee and route collected quote-side fees to the creator.
  • DEPLOYED · WRITES CLOSED — Launch Boost and Lock Rewards stay closed until a V5-compatible utility release is promoted.

A second launch path

Bring existing tokens into Hookr

Create a new Hookr pool around a token that already exists. The token's existing pools remain untouched.

  • A fresh pool would receive a fresh, immutable rule profile.
  • Creators would choose the quote asset, route, and compatible blocks when the signing path is released.
  • No migration, upgrade, or edit is made to an existing pool.

A repeatable front door

Integrations with a visible path to production

One manifest describes the hook, permissions, operator, fees, tests, and review state. The SDK release candidate packages Hookr's V5 new-token flow; existing-token transaction APIs stay withheld until a compatible release is promoted.

  • Share the manifest → technical review → pilot → verify.
  • A verified integration can then move to deployment and listing with a public hook profile.
06Technical review
Blocks, stacks, and profiles

Hooks become easier to build—and easier to trust

Small building blocks combine into a hook stack. An external hook under review can become a profile with clear permissions, economics, and deployment evidence.

  • VolaDelta source preview · LOOONG: a retention market that may share eligible early profitable-exit fees with longer-term holders.
  • VolaDelta source preview · Lucky: periodic mature-buyer rewards from part of swap fees; randomness and accounting review remain open.
  • VolaDelta source preview · Wager: an optional fixed-odds wager beside a normal swap; randomness, solvency, chain, and legal review remain open.
  • Proposed WTH-labeled source · Arb Recapture: one bounded post-swap correction that shares only realized profit; inactive, and no production executor is evidenced.

Market data that scales

Index Hookr-launched tokens first

We're expanding coverage across Hookr-launched markets, prioritizing missing prices, candles, swaps, volume, and hook activity. Gaps remain visible. The canonical $HOOKR page can use a DexScreener chart without competing for that pipeline.

  • Token pages gain website, GitHub, and token-specific X presentation.
  • DexScreener is scoped to the canonical $HOOKR pool; launched tokens keep native charts.
PARTNER STANDARD

A source label is not a live partnership claim. VolaDelta source previews cover LOOONG, Lucky, and Wager. Arb Recapture is a proposed, inactive WTH-labeled source; all four profiles are source-only, unaudited, and undeployed, while operator identity, acceptance, deployment, and production wiring remain unverified.

02 / LIVE FOUNDATION

Familiar pieces. Permanent market rules.

Creators choose a launch lane, add compatible blocks, and sign one immutable pool profile. Traders see the same rules the contracts enforce.

LiveLANE A

Instant Launch

No creator quote seed. A fixed opening valuation—2.5 ETH or 2.5M $HOOKR—opens an immediately locked, token-only price band.

Fast start · no auction wait
LiveLANE B

Bonded Auction

A Uniswap clearing-price auction discloses the floor, graduation threshold, and reserve. Miss the threshold and every bid refunds; no pool opens.

Price discovery · all-or-refund
THE FIVE LIVE BLOCKS

Each block does one recognizable job.

  • Anti-SnipeCaps early buys and can add an LP-directed opening fee.
  • Surge FeeScales the fee with trade size and available depth.
  • Auto BurnRoutes a share of actual buy output to the dead address.
  • LP RewardsDonates a share of buys to in-range liquidity providers.
  • Nth-buy PotA public deterministic counter rewards the Nth qualifying buy.

Compatibility stays explicit: Instant Launch excludes LP Rewards. $HOOKR quote markets support Anti-Snipe and Surge Fee, charge no protocol fee, and send collected quote-side fees to the creator.

    Hookr goes onchain—and earns the right to reopen

04 / WHY $HOOKR MATTERS

Utility is tied to markets—not promises.

Eligible ETH-pair activity accrues a 0.30% flywheel fee. Anyone can collect it; bounded owner actions can buy $HOOKR through the canonical pool and send the output to the dead address. There is no promised schedule.

Direct $HOOKR quote markets are different: no protocol fee, with collected quote-side fees routed to the creator. Launch Boost and Lock Rewards are deployed utility modules whose new-write path remains closed until a V5-compatible utility release is promoted.
