Uniswap Skills Now Available in Bankr Catalog for Agent Integration

Uniswap has clarified its approach to custom hooks in the Labs interface. Hooks that don't meet automatic routing criteria will undergo manual review by the team before integration. **Key Points:** - Custom hooks require either auto-routing qualification or manual approval - The team evaluates hooks that fall outside automated criteria - This follows recent additions of Verified Pools and Graduation hooks to the interface **What This Means:** Developers building custom hooks for Uniswap V4 now have a clear path forward. While some hooks automatically qualify for routing, others can still be integrated through a review process. For full details on how custom hooks function in swapping and routing, visit the [Uniswap support documentation](https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/33829289869965-How-do-custom-hooks-work-in-the-Labs-interface#hooks-in-swapping-(aka-routing)).

Uniswap has eliminated its allowlist process by launching hook auto-routing across its Web App, Wallet, and API. **Key Changes:** - Developers can now build hooks and deploy pools without approval - Immediate distribution access from day one - Auto-routing functionality available across all Uniswap platforms This follows the February beta launch of the Uniswap Developer Platform, which enabled builders to integrate swap and liquidity provider functionality using API keys. The move removes barriers for developers looking to deploy custom hooks on Uniswap V4, streamlining the process from development to user access.
