What is WTH?
What the hook? (WTH) is the token of a Uniswap v4 swap-rebate hook on Robinhood Chain. When a swap leaves prices out of line between connected pools, outside bots usually take that arbitrage profit; this hook captures it inside the swap and hands it back to traders and liquidity providers instead.
The token was created in early August 2026 and trades across many Uniswap pools on the chain, mainly against WETH and USDG. DefiLlama lists it as a liquidity-automation protocol. A second version of the hook went live in October and runs beside the first. Pashov Audit Group reviewed the v2 contract in early October 2026 and reported only informational findings; the review did not cover the first hook or the closed-source executor. HOOKR, SHROOM and DELTA are named as integrators. No team members are named.
The project's site says its treasury keeps a share of captured profit on its own pools and on integrating pools, while DefiLlama's methodology records no protocol revenue, so the two accounts differ. The project is on X as @whatthehookv4 and has a Telegram group. The checks below show who controls the contract, who holds the supply and how the liquidity is held.
