0x Flags 54.2% of Uniswap v4 Hooks as Malicious, Uniswap Pushes Back

DEX aggregator 0x said it analyzed 84,163 Uniswap v4 hooks across six chains as of Sept. 11 and found only 19.4% safe, 54.2% malicious and 26.4% suspicious, describing “quote spoofing” that can leave users with up to 50% less than quoted. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams responded on X that malicious hooks are an inevitable byproduct of a permissionless system, and that users trading through Uniswap’s official API and vetted front end never reach those pools.

AI take

The dispute matters less as a scorecard on v4 hooks than as a collision between two different trust models: aggregator-level scanning versus front-end curation. 0x's framing implies routers can surface pools that Uniswap's own interface filters out, which puts the burden on the routing layer, not just the hook author. Whether hook-level vetting becomes a standard aggregator requirement, or stays a front-end differentiator, is the open question worth watching.
