Blackhole's customisation and new features were build on an adaptation from the Thena v2 codebase, which itself is derived from the Solidly smart contracts that Andre Cronje open-sourced under the GPL3 license. This lineage underscores the collaborative and iterative nature of DeFi development, and we are grateful for the foundation laid by Andre and the broader open-source community. In addition Blackhole is leveraging Algebra Integral, the latest advancement in concentrated liquidity AMMs and a compelling alternative to Uniswap V4. Algebra Integral preserves the core benefits of concentrated liquidity—such as capital efficiency, customizable price ranges, and optimized fee structures—while introducing a highly modular, upgradable architecture based on a hook (plugin) system. As a result, Blackhole can offer users enhanced flexibility, improved gas efficiency, and access to a growing ecosystem of plugins, positioning it at the forefront of next-generation AMM technology. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
