Aegis DFM: Dynamic Fee Hook for Uniswap V4
Aegis DFM is a dynamic fee hook for Uniswap V4 — designed to optimize capital efficiency, protect LP value, and automatically adapt to market volatility. It works with any Uniswap V4 pool.
Why Now?
Uniswap V4 introduced a powerful new primitive: hooks — customizable smart contracts that redefine how liquidity pools operate. This marks a turning point in how on-chain liquidity can be programmed, optimized, and monetized.
Yet most fee models today remain static — hardcoded, inflexible, and blind to market conditions. They underpay LPs, expose pools to MEV, and fail to scale fees in response to real risk.
Aegis changes that. It brings fees to life — adapting dynamically to volatility and defending liquidity when it’s most exposed.
⚠️ The Problem
LPs are undercompensated during volatile markets
MEV bots exploit static and predictable fees
Protocols rely on emissions or governance to reactively change fees
🛠 The Aegis Solution
Aegis dynamically adjusts fees on every trade using a two-part fee engine:
BaseFee – Updates daily using volatility data from a Truncated Oracle
SurgeFee – Activates temporarily during extreme price spikes (“cap events”)
Result:
Volatile markets → higher fees → higher LP earnings
Stable markets → lower fees → tighter spreads
