Whitelist Hook for Uniswap v4 🦄

The Whitelist Hook contract is an advanced implementation designed to work seamlessly with Uniswap v4's innovative hook system. This contract enables restriction of access to pools based on a whitelist, ensuring that only authorized addresses can interact with the pools.

Overview

Uniswap v4's hook concept enables customization of pool interactions at various stages of a pool's lifecycle. The Whitelist Hook leverages this functionality to create a pool restriction system that allows participation only by whitelisted addresses, adding a new layer of control.

How It Works

  1. Initialization: The contract is initiated with a reference to the pool manager.
  2. Whitelisting: The pool manager has control over adding and removing addresses from the whitelist.
  3. Pool Interaction: Before any swap or position modification, the hook checks if the sender is whitelisted. If not, the action is rejected.
  4. Management: The pool manager can dynamically update the whitelist to add or remove users as needed.

Hooks Utilized

  • beforeModifyPosition: Ensures that the sender is whitelisted before allowing position modification.
  • beforeSwap: Validates that the sender is whitelisted before allowing the swap.

Use Cases

Controlled Access

  • Exclusive Pools: Creates pools where participation is limited to a select group of users or partners.
  • Membership-Based Access: Can be used to enforce access based on membership in an organization or community.

Pending Development

The Whitelist Hook for Uniswap v4 is under active development, and the following are some of the exciting features and improvements that are being explored:

Integration with NFTs

  • NFT-Based Access Control: Enabling access to pools based on ownership of specific NFTs, adding a unique and customizable layer of restriction.

Whitelist Tier Structure

  • Tiered Access Levels: Implementing a tiered structure within the whitelist to allow different levels of access or benefits based on criteria such as staking, reputation, or other measurable attributes.

Enhanced Security Measures

  • Improved Authorization: Developing more robust mechanisms for adding and removing addresses to/from the whitelist, potentially involving multi-signature approvals or community governance.

Community Involvement

  • Governance and Voting: Investigating the integration with decentralized governance systems to allow community members to propose and vote on changes to the whitelist or other contract parameters.

These and other features are under consideration, and contributions and ideas from the community are highly encouraged. Please see the contributing guidelines for information on how to get involved, or open an issue on GitHub to discuss new ideas and proposals.

Note

This is a conceptual hook that has not been deployed or tested. It represents an illustrative example and should be adapted, thoroughly tested, and validated before use in a live environment.
