Introducing Permissioned Pools on Uniswap v4
Introducing Permissioned Pools, a new hook standard for Uniswap v4 that enables permissioned asset trading through Automated Market Makers (AMMs) with compliance enforced directly onchain.
Permissioned Pools were built in collaboration with leading teams bringing regulated assets onchain. Launch partners include @SuperstateInc, @Securitize, and Dowgo: part of a growing set of issuers and platforms seeking compliant access to onchain markets for tokenized funds, securities, equities, and other permissioned assets.
Bringing permissioned assets to AMMs
The tokenized asset market is estimated to reach $11 trillion by 2030. As more regulated assets move onchain, issuers need infrastructure that can enforce each asset’s compliance rules. Uniswap Permissioned Pools are the first generalized, open source, institutional-grade standard for trading regulated assets on an AMM. Instead of relying on a frontend gate or an offchain compliance check, the pool itself verifies whether a wallet is approved before a swap or liquidity action goes through. The issuer keeps control of the allowlist, while approved users can access onchain trading and settle through Uniswap v4.
For issuers, this opens a path to AMM liquidity and DeFi composability that meets their regulatory requirements.
For eligible investors, it means direct onchain trading for assets that previously couldn't trade on an AMM at all.
How Permissioned Pools work
Permissioned Pools use Uniswap v4 hooks to extend the functionality of a regular pool without breaking the security and interoperability guarantees of the protocol. The particular hook implements logic that checks an issuer-managed allowlist on every swap, verifies allowlist status before a user mints an LP position, and provides support for the administration controls permissioned assets require. These checks happen at the protocol level, not on the frontend.
Behind the scenes, the design uses Uniswap v4 virtual accounting to perform all exchange calculations remotely while permissioned assets remain held in a permissioned contract. You can learn more about this mechanism in the docs.
Uniswap powers tokenized value
Permissioned Pools bring a new standard for compliant trading, while the protocol itself stays permissionless. Developers and asset issuers can choose the approach that fits: deploy pools and build on v4 permissionlessly, or deploy a permissioned pool for a specific asset.
Tokenization’s next phase needs standardized market infrastructure that can handle compliance requirements, without compromising permissionless access. Permissioned Pools are the result of deep collaboration between the teams defining the standard, the teams building the compliance layer beneath it, and the issuers and assets putting it to use.
Superstate, an early design partner, helped shape the Permissioned Pool standard for tokenized equities and funds. Uniswap Labs and Securitize collaborated early on to ensure DS Protocol-issued tokens could trade compliantly onchain, laying the groundwork that Permissioned Pools now extends. Dowgo contributed the ERC-3643 integration for Permissioned Pools, and will use the standard once they receive DLT TSS authorization under the EU's DLT Pilot Regime.
With these institutions already building on the hook, Permissioned Pools lay the groundwork for the next generation of value coming onchain.

AFX bridge exploited for $24.15M USDC
An attacker exploited the @AFX_XYZ bridge on Arbitrum and withdrew 24.15M $USDC to Ethereum
The withdrawal was finalized with 5 signatures from a 7-validator set, pointing to a possible validator key/backend compromise.
Validator set involved:
• 0x00BB84aF06daC03BFe744Da13dF9D2D6fd8e77E5
• 0x0C95AB7e26Df9F63cc6E06DF8ee897B822d8C77c

#CertiKInsight 🚨
We have seen an exploit on @AFX_XYZ bridge contract on Arbitrum, from which 24.15M USDC were withdrawn and are now at https://etherscan.io/address/0x627654b2782bfc57580ecd11d40869b350b6ebac
A withdrawal request minutes ago carrying 5 validator signatures suggests key /back-end compromise.
Stay Vigilant! https://t.co/vlC8kGLg0S

Looks like there is a USDC bridge possible exploit on Arbitrum!
@blockaid_ detected an abnormal bridge withdrawal that extracted ~$24.15M USDC from an Arbitrum USDC custody bridge contract. The on-chain bridge logic was not bypassed; the malicious withdrawal was authorized by a quorum of hot-validator signatures and then finalized after the dispute period.
Exploit tx: https://t.co/rOSvUWyv9U
Root cause: compromise or abuse of the bridge's hot-validator signing path. Five hot-validator signatures authorized a withdrawal of 24,150,000 USDC to the loot wallet, reaching 7,142 / 10,000 validator power (>2/3 quorum). The bridge contract then treated the withdrawal as valid and released funds after the 200-second dispute period.
The attacker subsequently bridged/laundered the proceeds to Ethereum: the same loot wallet received ~24.146M USDC minted on Ethereum in batches and forwarded the funds onward, consistent with movement of the stolen Arbitrum USDC.

quote: .@SuperRare is for shipping.
Over the last 3 months we have been heads down and shipped a ton of new features on SuperRare. We’re laser focused on building the best collecting experience on the internet powered by @ethereum
1) New homepage
It’s been way too long since the website got a refresh. We rearchitected the homepage to give collectors a better sense of what's happening in realtime, what’s trending, and what's happening on the platform today.
2) Hype machine
Sharing a art is a big part of the collecting experience. We now auto generate Instagram Story cards, X post images, and square share images. Download or copy and send it on the tl.
3) Normie onboarding
Sign in with email or social accounts and start collecting in seconds. Literally.
4) Meatspace art
Art is art. Digital or physical, it all has a special place in our lives. We now support physical works on the site and are building out a print integration to allow anyone to sell museum grade prints of their work.
5) Editions
1/1 grails are my favorite but not everyone can yolo a few racks on a single artwork. Editions give artists a way to connect with collectors at a variety of price points.
6) Charge it
Buy artwork with a credit card or Apple Pay, no need to think about crypto.
7) Live auction chat
Everyone loves a troll box. We added ephemeral chat to live auctions so artists can jump in and chat with collectors during an auction. Chat also supports slash commands for faster bidding and sharing.
8) New notification engine
Fully rearchitected notification system that updates you about new offers, bids, sales, follows, collaborations, and new work. Save the app to your homescreen for notifications on the go!
9) Collab SZN baby
Collaborations are now fully supported to allow collectors to better understand when a piece is co-created.
This isn’t even the full list but I need to get back to my agents and keep shipping.
We're building the best place on the internet to discover, collect, and experience art.
Stay $RARE. | Ethereum is for shipping.
