About
Vlads is a Uniswap v4 collectible on Robinhood Chain. A v4 hook ties pool swaps to onchain pixel Vlads. Whole token balances map to collectibles you can hold, trade in the pool, or move on the peer to peer market.
What are v4 hooks?
Uniswap v4 hooks are small programs that attach to a pool and run when someone trades. They let a swap do more than move tokens, like trigger custom logic at the exact moment of a transaction.
How Vlads uses hooks
Every time a transaction happens within the token, for example when somebody buys $VLADS, there is a chance the buyer will mint an onchain collectible called a Vlad. Each Vlad is rendered entirely onchain. No external files, no offchain art. The trade itself can create the collectible.
We give full credit to uPEG for being the inspiration behind Vlads and for being the first to market with a hook powered collectible of this kind. uPEG showed that Uniswap v4 hooks could be used for more than traditional trading mechanics, turning them into the foundation for an onchain collectible with an actual market around it. Vlads takes inspiration from that idea and brings our own interpretation of the concept to Robinhood Chain.
