The new VolatilePair Hook prices each side of a trade differently and adds a temporary surcharge meant to shield liquidity providers from arbitrage losses Uniswap has decided that buying and selling ETH should not always cost the same. On October 14, 2026, the exchange switched on its VolatilePair Hook on Ethereum mainnet, starting with an ETH/ USDC pool. The pitch is simple. Instead of one flat fee for everyone, the pool charges two separate fees, one for buys and one for sells, and adjusts both based on where the price has been heading.
