Hi @Jengajojo,
Thank you for your support and thoughtful questions about the V4 data API and analytics dashboard. We’re excited about their potential to empower the V4 ecosystem and are happy to provide clarity to ensure they meet the needs of developers, LPs, and traders.
V4 Data API:
- Accessibility and Documentation: The V4 data API will be free to use for all ecosystem builders, with comprehensive documentation hosted on Oku.Trade/API. While the API’s source code will not be open-sourced to maintain quality control, ensure stability, and provide consistent updates, there are no cost barriers for reasonable use. For commercial applications with extremely high request volumes, we may offer enterprise support to ensure general usage remains unaffected. Rate limits may apply to prevent abuse, but these will be set generously to support most use cases, with dedicated developer support available.
- Use Case: By providing free, documented access to V4 pool data, hook performance metrics, and trading activity, the API enables hook developers to showcase innovative pool designs, LPs to analyze yield opportunities, and traders to craft strategies around hooked pools, driving V4’s growth across EVM chains.
V4 Analytics Dashboard:
Our V4 analytics will build on Oku’s existing Uniswap V3 analytics, which provides detailed token, pool, position, and user analytics. Delegates can review our V3 dashboard to see the depth of our current offering, which we’ll enhance for V4’s unique features like hooks.
- Metrics:
- Pool Performance: Real-time and historical data on V4 pool trading volume, fees earned, APY, and impermanent loss, segmented by hooked and vanilla pools, similar to V3’s pool volume charts but with hook-specific insights.
- Hook Usage: Adoption rates (e.g., % of V4 transactions using specific hooks), transaction counts, and liquidity distribution for hooks like dynamic fees or leverage.
- LP Insights: Position-level analytics, including returns, risk exposure, and yield farming opportunities, to optimize LP strategies.
- Market Trends: Chain-specific V4 activity, top-performing pools, and hook developer contributions to highlight emerging market structures.
- Features:
- Hook Pool Discovery: A searchable interface to explore hooked pools, with filters for hook type (e.g., dynamic fees, TWAMM), pool performance, and chain.
- Customizable Views: Dashboards tailored for LPs, traders, and hook developers (hook analytics), with toggleable metrics.
- Exportable Data: Downloadable CSV reports for offline analysis or integration with external tools.
- Use Case: The dashboard simplifies V4’s complexity, enabling LPs to manage positions efficiently, traders to discover unique strategies, and hook developers to gain visibility for their innovations, ultimately driving liquidity to V4.
We’d love your input, and that of all delegates, on additional API features or dashboard metrics that could further benefit ecosystem builders.
