MetaDEX for Hook Builders

A platform for Hook Builders to launch, deploy, and scale.

Uniswap v4 introduced a major leap with Hooks: programmable extensions that embed logic directly into the AMM. Yet despite the potential, many Hooks remain underutilized. Why? There’s no structured way to integrate, coordinate, or showcase them.

Catex solves this.

As the first MetaDEX on Unichain, Catex turns Hooks into plug-and-play DeFi infrastructure. Builders can now go beyond experimentation and into full protocol integration — with incentives, visibility, and real usage baked in.


Why Catex is Built for Hook Builders

Catex isn’t just a DEX — it’s a coordination layer, liquidity engine, and incentive marketplace for modular DeFi.

  • Deploy custom strategies directly into Uniswap v4 AMM logic

  • Plug into CATX emissions via ve(3,3) voting gauges

  • Create capital-efficient, automated vaults

  • Earn trading fees and voting incentives for building aligned Hook strategies

  • Showcase audited hooks in a live, production-ready environment


Catex = Uniswap v4 Infra + ve(3,3) Coordination + Hook Deployment.

This makes Catex the natural home for Hook Builders — a launchpad where innovation meets adoption, and great Hooks don’t just sit idle in repos, they go live in production.
