Uniswap Labs Tests New Rewards Hook for Liquidity Providers

Uniswap Labs is developing a new feature for Uniswap v4 that will allow liquidity providers to earn OUSD rewards directly on eligible pools. The OUSD rewards hook, as it's called, uses Uniswap's extensible architecture system, hooks, to deliver Origin Dollar incentives to liquidity providers in qualifying pools.

The initiative is aimed mainly at trading pairs involving stablecoins and follows the launch of the StablePair Hook in September 2026. This new feature would give liquidity providers a way to earn beyond the traditional trading fees that have been their main source of income on the exchange.

The project remains in early planning, with no specific rollout date disclosed by Uniswap Labs as of September 2026. However, the addition of OUSD rewards is part of a broader push around Uniswap v4 and stablecoins. The StablePair Hook was launched earlier this year, bringing dynamic fees to stablecoin transactions on Uniswap v4.
