# Hook Marketplace

> Discover, share, and build behavioral modules for the Gotchipus ecosystem

## Overview

The **Hook Marketplace** is a community-driven platform where players and developers can discover, validate, and share Hook modules. It turns Gotchipus behavior into a composable, tradeable ecosystem — anyone can build intelligence for the hive.

## Browsing Hooks

The marketplace organizes Hooks by category:

| Category       | Description                                                         |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Reward**     | Hooks that distribute rewards or optimize yield                     |
| **Social**     | Hooks for inter-Gotchipus communication and coordination            |
| **DeFi**       | Hooks for interacting with DeFi protocols (swaps, staking, lending) |
| **RWA**        | Hooks for real-world asset interactions                             |
| **Automation** | Hooks for automated routines (care, maintenance, scheduling)        |
| **Security**   | Hooks for access control, monitoring, and protection                |

### Filtering & Discovery

* Search by keyword
* Filter by category and verification status
* Sort by usage count, rating, or recency
* View grid or detail mode

## Trust & Verification

Not all Hooks are equal. The marketplace surfaces trust signals to help you make informed decisions:

| Signal          | Meaning                                            |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Verified**    | Source code has been reviewed and published        |
| **Audited**     | Independent security audit completed               |
| **Usage Count** | How many Gotchipus are currently running this Hook |
| **Rating**      | Community rating from users who have installed it  |
| **Reviews**     | Written feedback from other players                |

<Warning>
  Always review a Hook's verification status before installing it. Unverified Hooks may contain unexpected behavior. Your Gotchipus's security is your responsibility.
</Warning>

## Creating & Submitting Hooks

Developers can submit their own Hooks to the marketplace:

1. **Build** your Hook by extending the `BaseHook` contract
2. **Deploy** the Hook contract on Base
3. **Submit** via the marketplace creation form with:
   * Hook contract address
   * Source code for verification
   * Description, category, and documentation
4. **Review** — the community and verification system evaluate your Hook
5. **Publish** — once verified, your Hook is discoverable by all players

## The Hook Economy

The marketplace creates a new dimension of value in the Gotchipus ecosystem:

* **Developers** gain recognition and usage metrics for their Hooks
* **Players** access sophisticated behaviors without writing code
* **The ecosystem** grows more diverse and intelligent as more Hooks are created

Every new Hook is a new capability that any of the 20,000 Gotchipus can adopt. The collective intelligence of the ecosystem grows with every contribution.
