What is Hooksmarket
Hooksmarket is a Uniswap v4 exchange on Robinhood Chain where a small cut of every swap funds weekly Polymarket bets, chosen by HOKT holders, with the profit paid back to liquidity providers.
Every pool launched through Hooksmarket carries one hook. On each swap it skims 0.30% of the quote side (USDG, ETH or WETH) into the prediction vault, on top of the pool's normal LP fee. Traders still get regular Uniswap v4 execution; the skim is the only difference.
The protocol runs in weekly cycles. Each week a short list of liquid Polymarket markets is published, HOKT holders vote on which side to back, and the vault bets on the decisive ones. When the markets resolve, profit flows back on-chain: most of it to the LPs whose pools produced the skims, the rest to buying back and burning each pool's token.
The loop
Each turn feeds the next. Swaps fill the vault, holders decide how it bets, and winnings go back to the pools that paid in. Pools that pay LPs more attract deeper liquidity, deeper liquidity draws more volume, and more volume means a bigger vault next week.
The loop is self-limiting. A market only gets a bet when the vote is decisive, each bet is capped, and a reserve always stays in the vault, so one bad week can't empty it.
Where the value goes
- Liquidity providers: their usual swap fees, plus 70% of each week's profit donated to in-range positions in the pools that skimmed.
- Token holders: 30% of each pool's profit buys back and burns that pool's token.
- HOKT holders: decide every week which markets the vault backs, and on which side.
- Traders: standard Uniswap v4 routing, with a 0.30% skim on hook pools.
