    2. 0.4. Types of Hooks

In the cryptocurrency and blockchain context, hooks refer to mechanisms that allow developers to execute custom code at specific points within a system, such as within a smart contract or blockchain protocol. These hooks are useful for enabling customized behavior in decentralized applications (dApps) without altering the core protocol.

How Hooks Work

Hooks can be used to trigger specific actions or conditions in a blockchain network or smart contract. For example, they might be programmed to execute a function when certain criteria are met, such as transferring tokens or triggering a specific event within a dApp. Hooks provide flexibility and extend the functionality of blockchain systems, enabling developers to innovate more easily.

Types of Hooks

  • Smart Contract Hooks: These are used within smart contracts to automate actions based on specific inputs or events.
  • Protocol Hooks: These integrate into blockchain protocols to adjust network behavior or introduce new features without forking the network.
