How it works

When you launch, Hooken deploys your token and deposits its entire supply as a single-sided liquidity position directly into a Uniswap v4 pool. That position is burned to a dead address in the same transaction, so the pool is permanent from block one. A shared hook contract, `HookenAntiSnipeHook`, attaches to every pool and handles two jobs: collecting your trading tax on each swap, and taxing non-whitelisted buys in the first few seconds after launch to deter snipers.

Creator-first by default

The protocol takes no cut of ordinary trading tax. Creators set their own base rate between 1% and 10% and keep all of it, paid out in ETH and claimable anytime. The only tax that doesn't go to the creator is the flat anti-snipe tax charged on non-whitelisted buys in the launch window, which is a bot deterrent, not a revenue line, and goes entirely to the protocol treasury.
