LaunchGuard: a Uniswap v4 hook that makes the first minutes of a new token pool hostile to sniper bots and fair for people buying by hand.

The pool creator opens a guarded pool through the hook itself (v4 initialize passes no hookData): one hook call stores the settings and initializes the pool (dynamic-fee flag) in the same transaction, and pools initialized any other way are rejected. Settings: a launch window in blocks (max 300) and a start fee. During the window:

    #17313 findings · 1 medium
    afterBuild contract project, Manifest

    I found no defect in the hook's own logic. There are three findings, ranked by severity, in .imd-findings.json (valid JSON). I changed no other files; scratch probes ran in a throwaway copy in /tmp, which I've deleted.

    Findings

    1. Medium: launch.json:11 can't be deployed through the project factory as it stands. The LaunchGuard constructor (src/LaunchGuard.sol:83) checks its own address and reverts unless the low 14 bits equal 0x20cc. Only about 1 in 16,384 CREATE2 salts gives such an address. I deployed the real creation code, with the Sepolia PoolManager as argument, using salts 0–63: all 64 reverted. The protected project test deploys with a salt the service supplies, and nothing I read says that service picks salts to hit a hook address mask. So unless it does, setup fails with "project constructor failed". The check in the constructor is correct and should stay. Fixing this is a scope decision: either the service supplies a salt found by search for this address, or LaunchGuard comes out of the factory's contract list and gets deployed separately, as DeploySepolia does.

    2. Low: test/LaunchGuard.t.sol:436 doesn't test partial fills despite its name. Its price limit is PRICE + 1, so the swap produces zero output and both calls revert with InvalidSwap, not PartialFill. It also accepts any revert, and no test anywhere expects PartialFill. I checked a real partial fill (price limit at tick 10, 3000 ether, both exact-input and exact-output): the hook correctly reverts with PartialFill. So the code is right, but that input appears in no test.

    3. Info: the launch token's real pool has no protection. The manifest's pool is a plain ETH pool with a 0.3% fee and no hook. The hook the factory deploys never gets a pool through initialize, so none of the launch rules apply to the launch token's actual market. The README and notes disclose this. I recorded it so nobody reads this launch as sniper-protected.

    What I checked and found correct

    • Permissions: the 0x20cc flags match the five callbacks the hook enables.
    • Initialization: the only way in is through the hook's own initialize call; any other initialization is rejected.
    • Fees: exact-input and exact-output surcharges come out to the effective rate f. I derived this algebraically, and the fuzz tests compare both modes against real pools.
    • Accounting: the hook's donation debt and credit cancel exactly, so the hook keeps nothing.
    • Buyer identity: a buyer can't be faked. Direct calls from other routers and reentrancy from a token callback are both rejected.
    • Launch rules: first-block rejection, the window boundary, sells being charged 1%, and state rolling back on any revert all behave as specified.
    • Recorded values: the CREATE2 values in deployments/sepolia.json match the current build.

    The full suite passes (35 tests).

    Two things I didn't count as defects:

    • No Sepolia deployment. It wasn't broadcast, but contributor tasks are forbidden to broadcast and the README says so.
    • Known limits. Front-running pool creation, other LPs adding liquidity just before a buy to share the donation, and splitting buys across addresses are all accepted in the README.

    • mediumManifest deploys LaunchGuard through the project factory, but its constructor reverts for any CREATE2 salt that is not mined to the 0x20cc permission masklaunch.json:11

      launch.json lists LaunchGuard as a project contract with constructorArgs [Sepolia PoolManager]. The constructor calls Hooks.validateHookPermissions(IHooks(address(this)), ...) (src/LaunchGuard.sol:83), which reverts with HookAddressNotValid unless (address & 0x3fff) == 0x20cc.

      Only about 1 in 16,384 salts gives such an address. The protected floor (Project.protected.t.sol) deploys IMD_PROJECT_CODE_0 with CREATE2 from the factory address and the service-supplied IMD_PROJECT_SALT_0, and fails with 'project constructor failed' if the constructor reverts. The factory contract (evm-project-launch reference) documents constructor-only deployment with no salt mining for hook flags.

      The requirement appears only in the manifest notes ('the deployment factory must mine a CREATE2 salt'), and notes carry no deployment authority. Unless the service can show that its factory salt derivation targets this mask for the exact factory address, creation code and manager argument, this launch cannot pass the protected floor or deploy. Hook-side validation is correct and should stay.

      The fix is a scope decision: either the service supplies a mined salt, or LaunchGuard is removed from the factory's contracts list and deployed through its own mined CREATE2 path, as script/DeploySepolia.s.sol does.

      Scratch test outside the repo: a CREATE2 probe contract deploys abi.encodePacked(type(LaunchGuard).creationCode, abi.encode(0xE03A1074c86CFeDd5C142C4F04F1a1536e203543)) with salts bytes32(0)..bytes32(63).

      Result: 0 of 64 deployments succeed (create2 returns address(0) for each; the constructor reverts HookAddressNotValid).

      Expected for a factory-deployable manifest contract: the deploy succeeds for the salt the service assigns.

      Actual: success only for the ~1/16384 salts whose resulting address has low 14 bits 0x20cc (e.g. 0x9c75 for the recorded deployer 0x61991b4DEB3dD7cE70e4F95179cFa0E54fDC8cE0).

    • lowtest_PartialFillsRevertForBothModes never reaches a partial-fill check; the hook's PartialFill branches are untestedtest/LaunchGuard.t.sol:436

      The test uses sqrtPriceLimitX96 = PRICE + 1, so the swap produces zero output. Both calls revert through the zero-output guard (InvalidSwap, LaunchGuard.sol:223), not the PartialFill checks at LaunchGuard.sol:235 and :237 or LaunchRouter.sol:133/136. It also uses a bare vm.expectRevert(), so any revert passes.

      No test in the suite expects PartialFill. The implementation does handle a real partial fill correctly (verified below), so this is a coverage gap, not a behavioural defect. A regression that removed the fill checks would not be caught.

      Unused input in an exact-input buy would still have the full surcharge reserved against it, or an exact-output buy could deliver less than requested.

      Run forge test --match-test test_PartialFillsRevertForBothModes -vvvv: both inner reverts are InvalidSwap() (selector 0x11157667 inside WrappedError), not PartialFill().

      A real partial fill that no test covers: at START+1, ALICE calls router.swap(key, SwapParams(false, -3000 ether, TickMath.getSqrtPriceAtTick(10)), 0, deadline).

      Nonzero output stops at tick 10, and the call reverts WrappedError(..., PartialFill 0xd964f528).

      The exact-output variant (amountSpecified = +3000 ether, same limit) reverts the same way.

      The implementation is correct, but these inputs appear in no test.

    • infoThe factory-deployed hook guards no launch pool; the manifest's GUARD market is an ordinary unhooked 0.3% poollaunch.json:17

      The manifest pool (native ETH, fee 3000, tickSpacing 60, no hook) is what the factory seeds with the launch token. None of the LaunchGuard rules apply to it: first-block rejection, decaying fee, caps, one buy per block and donation. Even if deployed, the LaunchGuard instance from the contracts list has no initialized pool.

      Nobody calls initialize, and the factory makes no initialization calls. So the launch token's real market has no sniper protection. The manifest notes and README disclose this, and the reference says factory pools carry no hook, so this is not a code defect.

      It is recorded so admission does not read the launch as sniper-protected.

      After a factory launch, compute the manifest pool's PoolId (currency0 = 0x0, currency1 = token, fee 3000, tickSpacing 60, hooks = 0).

      LaunchGuard.launch(thatId).ready is false and currentBuyFee(thatId) reverts UnknownPool.

      A buy at the pool's first block with any size succeeds at the static 0.3% fee.

      The guarded behaviour applies only to a pool created later via LaunchGuard.initialize with creator funding.
