Decentralized exchange (DEX) platform 
Uniswap has introduced Aggregator Hooks, a new feature that connects to seven external liquidity sources across 
Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain. This upgrade allows Uniswap to route trades through these external DEXs while collecting protocol fees, potentially increasing UNI token burn rates.
The seven liquidity sources connected by Aggregator Hooks cover more than 90% of decentralized exchange activity across the three chains. This move enables Uniswap to tap into a wider pool of liquidity and capture fees from trades on competing platforms, enhancing its revenue streams.
Both 
Bitcoin.com and Unchained confirm that the upgrade was launched on Thursday. They agree that the feature routes swaps through external liquidity sources, but Bitcoin.com emphasizes the coverage of over 90% of DEX activity, while Unchained highlights the multi-chain aspect of the integration.
Uniswap's total value locked (TVL) stands at $4.09 billion, up 6.0% over the past seven days, according to DeFiLlama. This growth indicates a positive market response to the new feature. In contrast, Base and Robinhood Chain have seen slight declines in TVL, with Base at $2.89 billion (-1.5% 7d) and Robinhood at $637.94 million (-1.6% 7d).
The broader crypto market is experiencing a downturn, with the total market cap at $2.79 trillion and Bitcoin down 4.12% in the last 24 hours. Ethereum, the primary chain for Uniswap, is also down 4.55% in the same period. Despite this, the Fear & Greed Index remains at 68, indicating a state of Greed in the market.
