When v4 shipped, one detail stood out: hooks. Custom logic that runs directly at the point of exchange — not wrapped around it or bolted on top. That's a small technical change with a large design space behind it. Hookness is an attempt to show what that actually means.
$HKNS uses a custom v4 afterSwap hook that fires exclusively on sells. Every time someone swaps HKNS for ETH, the hook wakes up. The swap executes. Then something else happens.
That something is random. The hook selects one of its registered modules at runtime — burn, jackpot, or whatever gets added next. The outcome is unpredictable. The mechanism is on-chain, verifiable, and inescapable.
The name: Hookness — because the hook isn't a feature added around the token. It is the token. The logic lives at the point of exchange, which is precisely what Uniswap v4 makes possible.
Half a percent of the hook's reserve is transferred to the dead address on every sell. Permanent, automatic, compounding. The supply shrinks with every trade.
Roll the dice. If the block says yes, the entire jackpot reserve is transferred to the seller. No prediction. No manipulation. The chain decides.
Swap HKNS → ETH via Uniswap V4.
afterSwap callback executes atomically with the trade.
One module is selected using block entropy.
Burn or jackpot — the outcome is final and on-chain.
