PancakeSwap&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/announcing-the-v4-hookathon-pancake-swap-x-brevis-hackathon">announced</a> the launch of its "v4 Hookathon" as part of its $500K Developer Program. This hackathon invites developers to innovate and build within the PancakeSwap v4 ecosystem using the Brevis ZK-Coprocessor.&nbsp;
With a prize pool of $40,000, the competition aims to push the boundaries of decentralized finance (DeFi) by enhancing functionality and addressing challenges within the PancakeSwap v4 platform.
&nbsp;
The primary goal is to create Hooks—customizable smart contracts integrated with liquidity pools that execute predefined logic before or after key actions such as swaps and position modifications.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Participants can leverage the Brevis ZK-Coprocessor to develop Hooks that provide advanced features, including dynamic fees and impermanent loss mitigation.

The Brevis ZK-Coprocessor is a smart contract enhancement tool that brings advanced capabilities to blockchain applications.
&nbsp;
It allows developers to query and analyze historical on-chain data from any blockchain while maintaining trustlessness. This reportedly enables the creation of sophisticated solutions such as loyalty programs, exclusive access pools, and improved liquidity management.
&nbsp;
PancakeSwap v4 supports Hooks, which enhance the customization of liquidity pools. These Hooks can implement a range of features, including:
<ul>
 <li>Dynamic Fees: Adjust fees based on market conditions.</li>
 <li>Active Liquidity Management: Enable protocols to adapt their liquidity strategies dynamically.</li>
 <li>Impermanent Loss Mitigation: Reduce risks associated with price fluctuations.</li>
 <li>Custom Incentives: Implement reward mechanisms tailored to specific user behaviors.</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-hackathon-details-and-potential-ideas-span-span">Hackathon Details and Potential Ideas</h2>
The v4 Hookathon offers a single open track, encouraging diverse and creative solutions. Participants are invited to tackle existing pain points within the PancakeSwap ecosystem.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Potential ideas include Liquidity Incentivization mechanisms, Active Liquidity Manager protocol, Market-Making Bot, Exclusive-Access Pools, KYC-Enabled Pools and Yield Manager Protocol.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-prize-distribution-span-span">Prize Distribution</h2>
