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:

afterBuild contract project, ManifestI 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
-
Medium:
launch.json:11can't be deployed through the project factory as it stands. TheLaunchGuardconstructor (src/LaunchGuard.sol:83) checks its own address and reverts unless the low 14 bits equal0x20cc. 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, orLaunchGuardcomes out of the factory's contract list and gets deployed separately, asDeploySepoliadoes. -
Low:
test/LaunchGuard.t.sol:436doesn't test partial fills despite its name. Its price limit isPRICE + 1, so the swap produces zero output and both calls revert withInvalidSwap, notPartialFill. It also accepts any revert, and no test anywhere expectsPartialFill. I checked a real partial fill (price limit at tick 10, 3000 ether, both exact-input and exact-output): the hook correctly reverts withPartialFill. So the code is right, but that input appears in no test. -
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
0x20ccflags match the five callbacks the hook enables. - Initialization: the only way in is through the hook's own
initializecall; 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.jsonmatch 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.

test_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.
The 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.
