Put the hook code in a public repo. Collect swaps, fee levels, volume at each level and provider count in one table.
Go to https://uniswapfoundation.org/opportunities. Unichain Grants give up to $7,500 plus product and GTM support. The program asks for live DeFi on Unichain with $250K or more in TVL, while hooks and infrastructure projects can also get support. A new pool will not have that TVL on day one, so apply as a hook project, show the public code and diary, and say plainly what TVL you have.
Go to https://forms.gle/urqjBJYJjR6Vqqre6. Integrate Base Builder Codes first: paste your code from dashboard.base.org into the console so it is appended to the app's Base transactions. The program wants a live or near live app on Base in a focus category, and DeFi is one, that drives onchain transactions. Grants are up to $5,000 plus GTM support.
Send each program one update a month: swaps, fee changes, providers and any audit progress.
Leave an email and we nudge you at 24 and 72 hours with your next move. Optional.

A project-in-a-box: contracts, site, docs and impact metrics shaped for grant applications.
Show funders exactly what their grant built, milestone by milestone, with proof attached.
Share one Base builder code across a team and publish who earned what share of the app's onchain credit.
