In this deep-dive workshop, Angela Ocando from the Uniswap Foundation breaks down the core innovations of the protocol's next major iteration. The session covers the move to a "Singleton" architecture, which dramatically reduces gas costs for creating pools and executing multi-hop swaps, and the introduction of "Hooks," a powerful new feature that allows developers to inject custom logic directly into a pool's lifecycle. Angela explains how Hooks unlock a new wave of creativity, enabling everything from on-chain limit orders and dynamic fees to novel mechanisms for public goods funding. This is an essential guide for any developer looking to build on the future of AMMs, complete with actionable ideas and resources - including the OpenZeppelin v4 Hooks Library - to get started right away. This workshop was part of DeFi Devs Day at the Octant DeFi Summit 2025, a two-day event that brought together the brightest minds in the industry to discuss and build the future of decentralized finance. About Octant: Octant is infra for sustainable growth, powered by DeFi and aligned with Ethereum. To date, Octant funding rounds have sustainably funded hundreds of projects (over $7 million USD in grant funding) over 9 epochs, all through staking rewards.
