ok @dish I've got some ideas I'd like to build on top of clanker. Some questions I have:
1. if I interact directly with the factory contract, is there any reason that custom uniV4 hooks wouldn't work? I know in the SDK you've hardcoded the clanker static/dynamic fee hooks as the only options there.

(1) We're still figuring out how to support custom hook logic for users, will probably look more like users can plug in logic in the afterSwap() flow, this is still under R&D

(2/3) The starting tick, liquidity placement, tickSpacing, and paired token are configurable from the SDK. The starting supply is not changeable. 

(4) Our devBuy/initBuy still takes in ETH when the paired token is not WETH, you have to provide a Uniswap v4 pool to swap from W/ETH->PairedToken. This is doable from the SDK as well

I will keep y'all posted on my experiments

brilliant wow thank you so much for the thorough response.
