pools

According to crypto KOL 0xSLK, Uniswap is developing a token issuance platform called "Pools" on the Robinhood Chain. The official website is now online, but the product is not yet open. The pools.trade page displays "Coming soon from Uniswap" and plays a video of a frog jumping into a pond. Research has found that the front-end code related to Pools contains a lot of product information, and its internal name is "Pools - create a token on Robinhood Chain." The "rh-cca" path is believed to be related to the Robinhood Chain and Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism.The public code shows that Pools is expected to offer two token issuance models: Crowd Launch: using a 4-hour auction mechanism, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, of which 50% is for auction, and the remaining 50% along with the raised funds is used to establish Uniswap v4 liquidity pools. If the $50,000 FDV target is reached, the tokens will complete migration and open for trading; otherwise, participants can get a refund. Instant Launch: similar to the Bonding Curve model, users can trade immediately, with 80% of tokens used for curve trading, and the remaining 20% and funds used for liquidity building, completing migration after reaching a $50,000 FDV. Currently, the on-chain infrastructure related to Pools has been deployed to the Robinhood Chain. Uniswap's official documentation shows that related contracts include CCA Factory, LiquidityLauncher, and LBPStrategy, among others. Data shows that related contracts have generated hundreds of auction events and completed hundreds of token creations and migrations.Meanwhile, several tokens borrowing the concept of Pools have emerged in the market. Researchers point out that there is currently no official POOLS token, and any tokens named Pools, pools.trade, or UniFrog have not been confirmed by Uniswap Labs. Among them, the meme coin FRONG (which briefly surpassed a market cap of $7 million this morning, rising over 90% in 24 hours) has attracted attention for using a frog image similar to that in the Pools promotional video, but it is still just a community-issued token and not an official Uniswap project. The market is currently focused on whether Uniswap will officially open pools.trade, announce the first official issuance project, and release verified official contract addresses.

According to official news, Uniswap has launched Permissioned Pools, a new hook standard in Uniswap v4 that supports permissioned asset trading through automated market makers (AMM), with compliance enforced directly on-chain.

As of June 23, 2026, Foundry Digital, AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool collectively control over 70% of the Bitcoin network's hash rate, accounting for approximately 31%, 18%, 13%, and 10%, respectively. Foundry Digital is a U.S. mining pool supported by Digital Currency Group, primarily targeting large institutions and publicly listed mining companies.D-Central provided a Nakamoto coefficient of 3 for the first half of 2026, meaning that only 3 mining pools are needed to exceed the majority of block production.

The security analysis platform GoPlus tweeted regarding the incident where "a user exchanged approximately 1126 ETH (about 2.01 million USD) for 5776 LIT (about 14,000 USD) on Uniswap, resulting in a loss of nearly 2 million USD." The core reason for this incident was not a sandwich attack, but rather backrunner arbitrage within the same block. The routing contract injected a large amount of WETH into a liquidity-poor AVAIL/WETH trading pool, causing the user to buy AVAIL at a severely deviated market price (about 120 times the reasonable price). Subsequently, within the same block, the backrunner executed a reverse trade on the pool with a minimal amount of AVAIL at the real price, withdrawing approximately 1072 WETH, and paid most of it (about 1018 ETH) as builder payment to Titan Builder.

The official unfiltered data shows that the trading volume of Uniswap on Base in 2025 is $208.07 billion, but after adding some filtering criteria, the non-fraudulent trading volume is only $77.38 billion.

Four Leading Mining Pools and Computing Power Ecosystems WorldwideF2Pool (the largest Dogecoin and Litecoin mining pool globally), GrandCroix, DePIN X Capital, and Codestream have officially joined the Psy Protocol public testnet. They will participate in network operations, transaction validation, and zero-knowledge proof aggregation with real computing power, providing foundational support for performance and security testing before the mainnet launch.Psy Protocol has validated a processing capacity of over one million transactions per second (TPS) in internal benchmarking. The protocol architecture allows users to generate transaction proofs on their local devices, while miners validate and recursively aggregate zero-knowledge proofs, decoupling the verification burden from transaction scale, thus supporting horizontal scaling of the network as more users participate in parallel.It is reported that Psy Protocol is a smart contract platform based on useful proof of work. By allowing users to generate transaction proofs and aggregate zero-knowledge proofs on-chain, Psy empowers developers to build ultra-large-scale Web3 applications and enables the AI agent economy.
