Will it support system API hooks in the future? For example, sleep, connect, recv, etc.

I'm not sure, because none of us have prior experiences on this. And I doubt that its compatibility issues may make it little use in real applications.
Can you describe more about your situation?
@mankouzhuya Because the libc API still has its use. Considering you need to write a file in disk or tmpfs, then libc's write is always the feasible way to do it, even we can also use Photon's capsulation of libaio or io_uring.
In a word, networking is a important part, but not all that we concern. We'd best just provide the alternatives, rather then overwrite them.
Photon's basic networking API calls are in net/basic_socket.h. For instance, photon::net::recv equals to libc's recv, and can only work in the coroutine runtime.
