Over half of Uniswap v4 hooks found malicious, raising security concerns in DeFi trading.

An analysis of over 84,000 Uniswap v4 hooks across six blockchains revealed that 54.2% were malicious and only 19.4% were safe, exposing traders to risks like hidden fees and large losses. The feature, designed for customization, has become a vector for quote-spoofing attacks, with some hooks charging fees up to 18% and causing losses up to 50%. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams defended the system, stating that malicious contracts are a known risk in permissionless protocols and that official Uniswap interfaces vet hooks to protect users. This report pressures DeFi platforms to improve hook verification to safeguard users and maintain trust in decentralized trading.

The story about Uniswap v4 hooks and their risks is presented with Pluang's market data as context. As of Sep 16, 2026 03:28 WIB, among 50 major cryptocurrencies tradable on Pluang, 4 rose and 45 fell.
