Hooks - Automated Actions

1. What are Hooks?

Hooks are onchain automations that are activated every time you pay with your Swype card. They allow you to attach logic to transactions and events (e.g buy me kHYPE with 10% of every payment I make).

Instead of modifying core smart contracts, Hooks extend behavior at the edge, giving users, developers, and teams the flexibility to define “what should happen when.”

2. How do Hooks work with Swype?

Hooks integrate directly into the Swype Card experience. Each time you make a transaction (a “Swype”), the Hook can trigger a programmable action like investing, rebalancing, or transferring funds.

Think of Hooks as programmable “if-this-then-that” rules for your financial life.

  • If you Swype your card → then auto-invest.

  • If you rebalance → then transfer to savings.

  • If you receive income → then allocate it.

3. What types of events can trigger a Hook?

Hooks can be attached to both onchain and offchain events, including:

  • Card swipes

  • Onchain transactions

  • Portfolio rebalancing

  • Spending limits

  • Any external transaction-related event

This means every interaction from payments to trades can become a programmable trigger.

Smart DCA Hook

4. What is the first Hook being launched?

The first Hook going live is the Smart DCA Hook.

It connects your everyday spending with automated investing. Whenever you make a Swype, a percentage of that transaction is automatically used to purchase a kHYPE.

5. How does the Smart DCA Hook work?

Here’s the flow:

  1. You set a % of your Swype spend to auto-invest.

  2. Each time you use your Swype Card, that % automatically buys your chosen token (e.g. $KHYPE).

  3. The purchased asset is delivered directly into your wallet.

No extra steps. Just Swype and stack.

The Smart DCA Hook can currently only be activated on Spend Mode with HypurrFi as active protocol.

6. Do I have control over how Hooks operate?

Absolutely. With Smart DCA Hooks, you control:

  • Spending Limit: e.g., $1,100 from your holdings can be allocated.

  • Allocation %: the exact percentage you want to invest per transaction.

  • Transparency: all activity is visible in your transaction history.

The rest of your assets remain untouched and safe. Only the portion defined in your Hook is accessed and you have complete control over your assets

7. Where are the acquired assets held?

Assets purchased through a Hook are swapped and held directly in your wallet. You maintain full custody and visibility of your funds.

8. Why use Hooks instead of manual investing?

Hooks remove friction. Instead of manually deciding when and how much to invest, your everyday activity becomes the trigger.

This makes dollar-cost averaging (DCA) automatic, consistent, and effortless without requiring constant decisions or additional steps. Hooks can enable:

  • Rebalancing portfolios on every transfer

  • Auto-saving a % of income

  • Triggering trades before or after on-chain events

  • Linking payments with DeFi.

As more Hooks are developed, the ecosystem of programmable automation will grow.

9. How do I set up the Smart DCA Hook?

  1. Go to swype.fun.

  2. Select the Hook you’d like to activate (starting with Smart DCA).

  3. Define your spend limit and allocation %.

  4. Approve and enable the Hook.

From then on, every Swype is enhanced with your chosen automation.

10. Can developers create their own Hooks?

Yes. Hooks are designed to be extendable. Developers and teams can build custom automations that plug into the Swype ecosystem.
