Sources

• Chain (label “chain”). Direct JSON-RPC reads at a pinned block: StateView.getSlot0 / getLiquidity for price, fees and in-range liquidity; ReservesLens.getPoolTVL for per-pool core reserves (the official Uniswap lens that walks the pool’s initialized ticks); eth_getCode, eth_getStorageAt and probe calls for the hook inspector; V4Quoter for simulations.
• Index (label “idx”). PoolManager Initialize, Swap and ModifyLiquidity logs decoded by the BroveMarkets indexer and stored in PostgreSQL, plus launch-protocol events. Rows are keyed by chain, block and log index; windows are written atomically with their cursor.
• Provider (label “prov”). GeckoTerminal (24 h USD volume, USD reserves, USD price change) and DefiLlama (USD reference prices). Provider figures are shown with their fetch time and marked stale after 10 minutes; a refused request keeps the last figure as stale instead of showing nothing or zero.
• Verification. Sourcify v2 for source verification, ABI, compiler settings and proxy resolution. “Not verified on Sourcify” is not “unverified everywhere”, and “unavailable” is a transport failure, not a verdict.

Pool identity

A Uniswap v4 pool is not a contract. It is a PoolKey (currency0, currency1, fee, tickSpacing, hooks) hashed into a 32-byte pool id, living inside one PoolManager on one chain. BroveMarkets always shows the chain, the PoolManager and the full key, and never reuses a token address, a hook address or a pool id in another role. The native currency is address(0) and is always currency0.

Prices are displayed in a quote currency chosen for readability (stablecoin, then native, then wrapped native); when that quote is the pool’s currency0, the displayed price is the inverse of the pool’s token1-per-token0 convention and the page says so.

Derived figures and coverage

• Swaps 24 h, token volumes, 24 h change come from indexed Swap logs in the rolling 24 h window. The swap index backfills a bounded depth (by default about 8 hours on Robinhood Chain) and extends forward live. When the index covers less than the window, the figure is marked partial with the covered fraction. A partial window is never presented as full-day volume.
• 24 h change is the change from the first to the last indexed swap price in the window, not an exact 24-hour-ago sample. When no swaps are indexed, the provider’s figure is shown with its label.
• Price history buckets real post-swap prices into OHLC candles. Buckets inside the covered range without swaps are drawn as gaps (no trading); periods outside the coverage are absent and the chart note says so (missing history).
• Timestamps. Robinhood Chain logs carry no timestamp, so times come from block headers. Live rows get exact headers; backfilled rows interpolate between header anchors a few thousand blocks apart and are shown with “≈”.
• Swap participants. “Caller” is the sender field of the Swap event: the contract that called the PoolManager, normally a router. “Submitted by” is tx.from when resolved. Account-abstraction bundlers and bots mean neither is proven to be the end user; BroveMarkets does not label a router as the trader, does not infer buy/sell without a stated base asset, and does not call any swap a “whale”.
• TVL. Per-pool reserves are never derived from the PoolManager’s aggregate token balances. They come from ReservesLens (core amounts; hook-held reserves shown separately when the hook reports them) and are priced in USD only when both token prices are known; otherwise USD reads unavailable.
• Reorgs. The indexer keeps a block-hash trail; when the chain disagrees it rolls back every table above the fork and the swap feed drops those rows.

Hook evidence levels

Verified established from verified source or from a rule the PoolManager enforces (for example the address permission bits). Observed read from chain state, bytecode or indexed transactions at a stated block, including quoter simulations. Heuristic interpretation of names and patterns; can be wrong. Unknown the evidence was not available; this is never a finding of safety.

• Permission bits alone do not prove what the code does.
• Verified source does not imply audited or safe. BroveMarkets names no audit it cannot link.
• A successful simulation does not guarantee a future trade succeeds; it is one block, one amount, one sender context.
• A failed owner() call does not mean there is no admin.
• There is no trust score. Findings are a checklist with severity only where the evidence justifies one.

Supported chains and coverage

Addresses come from the official Uniswap deployment registry and are re-checked against the live chain by pnpm verify:config. Testnets are not listed because no verified v4 deployment and no price feeds exist for Robinhood Chain testnet. Launch discovery lists only protocols with a verified factory and a working adapter (currently Pons V2 on Robinhood Chain); it is discovery of observed launches, not a launch service.

Refresh intervals: index tick every few seconds (in-process) or per cron schedule; list views refresh every 30 s; the swap feed polls every 5 s; provider figures every 2 minutes; hook reports are cached 5 minutes and can be re-analyzed on demand. Live figures on Data status.

What BroveMarkets does not claim

• No chain is “guaranteed safe” and no hook is “rug-proof”.
• No figure is real-time: the index lags the head by the tick interval and provider figures by their fetch time, both shown.
• No partner, integration or audit is claimed beyond the sources named above.
• Execution is not offered; BroveMarkets is a read-only terminal. Where a verified venue exists, links point to the chain explorer, never to an unverified interface.
