Uniswap has announced that it will launch its version 4 in 2025, but without specifying the date. The well-known DEX has only communicated that Uniswap v4 “is coming soon” (arriverà presto), along with other news.

At the moment, the specific launch date is not known, but only that Uniswap v4 will arrive in this new year that has just begun.
This post follows another one, in which the DEX anticipates that there will be more surprises in store for 2025.

In reality, the v4 version of Uniswap had already been presented in June 2023, highlighting the introduction of “hook,” which are contracts executed at different points in the lifecycle of a liquidity pool.
In addition to customization, the v4 architecture should reduce costs and ensure greater efficiency, also through “singleton,” a new contract in which all pools reside within a single smart contract.
In any case, in February 2024, the Uniswap Foundation had then reiterated that the launch of version v4 of the DEX would arrive in the third quarter of 2024, after the implementation of Ethereum’s Dencun update.
At the moment, therefore, the launch of version v4 is delayed.
Uniswap and the launch of version v4 delayed: the latest news of 2024
While the launch of version v4 of Uniswap is delayed compared to what was previously announced, the DEX has not been idle at all in the last quarter of 2024.
In fact, in mid-November, Uniswap launched the largest bug bounty in history. A whopping 15.5 million dollars in rewards for anyone who found a critical vulnerability in the core v4 contracts.
In practice, the company invited the crypto community to explore the code of the v4 and to report any vulnerabilities.
Another important step for Uniswap was the launch of Unichain in mid-October, a new layer 2 (L2) solution designed to enhance the efficiency and scalability of Ethereum. This move marked an improvement in the DeFi infrastructure, addressing the ever-evolving needs of users and protocols.
The price of UNI
At the time of writing, UNI is worth $14.10, and is in a pump of +7% in the last 24 hours.
The token of the well-known DEX is now in the 22nd place in the crypto ranking, with a total market cap of over 8.46 billion dollars.
UNI rode the bullish wave of 2024, reaching $18.6 in price, as the annual high. Unfortunately, however, UNI was not able to return to its all-time high (ATH) of $43 reached in 2021.
