_Ethereum was added as the fourth supported chain for Crosschain Swaps on June 27, 2025. ZKsync and Linea were added as the fifth and sixth supported chain as of 16 July, 2025. Crosschain Swaps now supports BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, ZKsync, and Linea._

At PancakeSwap, our goal is simple: make DeFi fast, easy, and accessible to everyone.

Today, we’re excited to launch **[Crosschain Swaps](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap)** — a game-changing feature that lets you swap tokens across 6 blockchains (BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, ZKsync, and Linea) in just **one click**, directly on the PancakeSwap interface you already know and trust.

No more juggling bridges, DEXs, or apps. Pick your token, select the destination chain, and we'll cover the rest.

#### **Key Features of PancakeSwap’s Crosschain Swaps**

- **Built Into PancakeSwap UI:** Crosschain Swaps are fully integrated into the existing PancakeSwap Swap page — no need to leave the platform.
- **One-Click Crosschain Swaps:** Swap assets between chains with a single transaction. No bridging, no extra steps — just one smooth, unified experience.
- **Fast Transactions:** Transactions usually complete within seconds, often under a minute.
- **Multi-Chain Support:** Swap across: BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, ZKsync, and Linea. Any token with available liquidity on PancakeSwap can be seamlessly swapped across these chains.
- **Low Fees:** At launch, PancakeSwap will not charge any additional fees for crosschain trading beyond the standard AMM trading fee. However, a separate bridge fee will apply, which is paid to Across Protocol relayers who facilitate the transaction.

#### **Powered by Across**

PancakeSwap’s Crosschain Swaps are powered by Across, a leading intent-based bridging solution. Intent-based bridging simplifies crosschain transfers through a network of relayers who compete to fulfill them as quickly and cost-efficiently as possible.

Across currently powers ~20% of bridging volume across supported chains, with $23B+ in volume and 16M+ transfers processed. With a network of 30+ relayers and optimistic settlement via UMA’s oracle, it delivers speed, security, and scalability.

#### **How to Use Crosschain Swaps**

Using PancakeSwap’s Crosschain Swaps is just as easy as a regular trade:

1\. Visit the **[PancakeSwap Swap Page](http://pancakeswap.finance/swap)**

# Meet Your AI Copilot for PancakeSwap Perps

Trading perps comes with homework: read the chart across timeframes, pick a direction, size the position, set leverage, calculate a sensible TP and SL. The hard part was less the decision and more everything before it. Al Copilot turns a vague intent like “I want a quick scalp” into a fully formed order in seconds.

Your Al Copilot is a new way to trade on PancakeSwap Perps. Choose, tap once, and the AI reads the market, finds a setup, and pre-fills the whole position - direction, leverage, size, take-profit, and stop-loss. It comes back as a clean, editable proposal. You review it, tweak it, and confirm. Al Copilot does the analysis and the math. You make the call.

Al Copilot is for new traders who find the blank order ticket intimidating, busy traders
with no time for multi-timeframe analysis, and active scalpers who want to move faster without skipping the structure work.

![111.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/7791e01c23cfc91021b629729b18e028.png)

## Important to note:

- Nothing executes automatically. Every trade is a proposal that only goes live when you confirm.
- Everything is editable - direction, size, leverage, TP, SL.
- The risk is visible first. Entry, TP, and SL are plotted against price, with your estimated liquidation price up front. Tap the tooltip to see the market context behind any setup.

## As a user, you make two choices:

1. Margin: Select the initial margin to trade.

![2p.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/21f8e5a2964d5a0fb20098fbcbd2d7ff.png)

2. Style: The Style tells AI Copilot which timeframe to analyse and how long the trade should live for. Three options, mapped to how different traders think.
**Important. At launch, we will only support ‘Swing’.

![3p.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/0b8a6cee9ef5b50c24fbb1e9bb33d951.png)

| Style | Timeframe | What it means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scalping | 3–15 min | Quick in-and-out for small, frequent moves. |
| Day | Intraday | Short-term trends on intraday volatility. |
| Swing (only Swing will be live at launch) | Days to weeks | Holds positions for days, riding short- to medium-term trends. |

## Strategy Generation:

The Strategy sets what to optimize for. At launch there’s Max Gain - high reward-to-risk setups. Fewer trades, bigger moves. More are coming soon.

Every generated trade comes back as a clean summary with the entry, take-profit and stop-loss plotted against price - so the risk is visible before a single click to confirm.

## Example: a Swing trade / Max Gain long on BTC

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Action | Long |
| Order type | Market |
| Size | 265 USDT |
| Leverage | 53× ⋅ Cross |
| Mark price (entry) | $69,781.9 |
| Take profit | $70,015.9 |
| Stop loss | $69,549.7 |

![4pp.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/53b86fe29cb98e4a628a16868dcdfcc8.png)

*Quick tip: If you click on tooltip - you can view the context of the trade as shown below!*

![5p.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/f436bcf4842e1306b5d1a64ed39718b6.png)

## Get started with AI Copilot

1. Connect your wallet to PancakeSwap Perps.
2. Deposit collateral.
3. Generate - open the Al Copilot tab, pick margin and style, tap Ask Al: Long / Short. Al Copilot builds the position.
4. Review the entry, TP, SL, and liquidation price.
5. Confirm - tap Confirm Long. Position goes live.

![6p.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/35ac291a94a79a5ee39df759f93c3add.png)

## How does AI Copilot Work?

AI Copilot isn’t guessing. It reads live price and volatility, funding, and open interest, then runs multi-timeframe analysis tuned to your style.

Pick your margin, pick your style, tap once, and review a complete setup with the risk laid out in front of you. Al Copilot is live on PancakeSwap Perps now.

Connect, deposit, and let AI Copilot find your first setup.

## Disclaimer

Al Copilot generates trade proposals for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. Nothing executes automatically; all trades require your manual confirmation, and you are solely responsible for any positions you open. Perpetual futures are high-risk, leveraged products - you can lose more than your initial margin, and high leverage increases liquidation risk. Al generated setups draw on historical and current data; past performance is not indicative of future results, and no setup is guaranteed to be profitable. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Availability may be subject to regional restrictions.

Kitchen Report: May 2026

New engine. Order book model. Beginner friendly. 

---

Today, PancakeSwap Perps gets its biggest upgrade ever. We've replaced the old LP model with a full **order book**, bringing better capital efficiency, real price discovery, and tighter execution to every trade.

We're also introducing Simple Mode, a first-of-its-kind feature that lets anyone trade perps with a single tap. No setup, no complexity, just pick a direction and go.

Whether you're a seasoned degen or someone who's never touched a perp in your life, the new PancakeSwap Perps is built for you. Here's what changed and why you need to try it.


## **The Big Shift: From LP Model to Full Order Book**

If you've traded perps on PancakeSwap before, you'll remember the previous version ran on a liquidity pool (LP) model. It worked, but it had its limits.

The new PancakeSwap Perps runs on a **full order book model:** 

**More capital efficient.** With an order book, liquidity sits exactly where it's needed, at specific price levels. **The result is tighter spreads and better execution on every trade.**

**No more oracle dependency.** Price discovery now happens directly through the order book. The old model relied on external oracle feeds for pricing. With the move to a full order book, price discovery now happens directly through real bids and asks in the market, enabling tighter spreads and more efficient execution.


## **Simple Mode: Try it, it’s a piece of cake**

Never traded perps before? Intimidated by leverage, margin modes, and order types?

That's why we built **Simple Mode** — and there's nothing else like it on other Perps platforms.

Simple Mode strips away all the complexity and gives you a clean, one-tap experience. No configuring margin modes. No setting up advanced order types. No learning curve. Just pick a direction and go.

Want to scale your position? Tap again. Want to flatten? Tap the opposite direction. It's as intuitive as a swap, and as easy as... well, a piece of cake.


## **Pro Mode: For the Power Traders**

Of course, if you want the full toolkit, **Pro Mode** has everything you'd expect and more:

- **Cross margin and isolated margin**: choose your risk profile per position or across your portfolio
- **Single asset and multi-asset modes**: trade with one collateral type or diversify across multiple
- **Advanced order types**: market, limit, stop, take-profit/stop-loss
- **Full order book view**: see the depth and place orders exactly where you want
- **Complete position management**: track, adjust, and close with full visibility

Switch between Simple and Pro anytime - your open positions won't be affected.


## **But Wait, There’s More**

**Up to 200x leverage** on BTC and major pairs - one of the highest available on any onchain perps platform.

**Deposit flexibility.** Fund your account with BNB, USDT, CAKE, BTC, ETH, USD1, asBNB, lisUSD, WBETH, slisBNB, LISTA, USDF, ASTER, and TWT.

**Unified wallet experience.** Your spot and perps activity live in one place. No bridging, no separate accounts. Just connect your wallet and trade directly on PancakeSwap.

**Easy Access.** Simply connect your wallet and you're ready to go. No account creation, no deposits to a custodial platform.

**Deep liquidity and CEX-grade execution:** Powered by Aster's order book infrastructure, bringing deep liquidity and institutional-grade execution to a fully onchain trading experience.


## **TL;DR**

The new perps run on a full order book - more capital-efficient, better price discovery, and better execution. Plus, Simple Mode means literally anyone can trade perps with a single tap.

Powered by Aster's order book infrastructure, bringing deep liquidity and institutional-grade execution to a fully onchain trading experience.

The PancakeSwap you know. A completely new perps engine. Try it, it's a piece of cake.

New engine. Order book model. Beginner friendly.

PancakeSwap Perps, Revamped. And It's a Piece of Cake.

If you've traded perps on PancakeSwap before, the new upgrade is set to redefine your experience. The new PancakeSwap Perps is a completely different engine under the hood - rebuilt from the ground up with an **order book model** replacing the old LP-based system.

Here's what that means for you, and why it matters.

## **The Big Shift: From LP Model to Order Book**

The Legacy Perps product ran on a **liquidity pool (LP) model**. Traders went against a pool of liquidity, and pricing relied on oracle feeds to keep things in check. It worked - but it came with tradeoffs: capital inefficiency, oracle dependency, and the limitations that come with pooled liquidity.

The new PancakeSwap Perps runs on a **full order book model**.

**Why order book wins:**

- **Capital efficiency** - Liquidity is deployed precisely where it's needed at specific price levels, not spread thin across an entire pool. This means tighter spreads and better execution for you.
- **No oracle dependency** - Price discovery happens natively through the order book's bid/ask mechanism, not through external oracle feeds.

Think of it this way: the LP model was like trading against a vending machine. The order book model is like an actual trading floor - real orders, real depth, real price discovery.

## **Simple Mode: Perps, Piece of Cake**

Never traded perps before? We built **Simple Mode** specifically for you.

Simple Mode strips away the complexity and gives you a clean, one-tap experience. Pick a token, go **long** or **short**, choose from preset position sizes - and you're in. No configuring margin modes, no setting up advanced order types, no learning curve required.

It's one of the only features like this in DeFi, and it's designed to make perps as approachable as a swap. Try it - it's literally a piece of cake.

## **📊 Legacy vs. New: Side-by-Side**

| **Feature** | **Legacy Perps** | **New Perps** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Model** | LP-based (oracle-dependent) | Full order book |
| **Capital efficiency** | Lower (liquidity spread across pool) | Higher (liquidity at specific price levels) |
| **Simple Mode** | Not available | One-tap long/short with preset sizes |
| **Leverage** | Up to 1001x | Up to **200x** |
| **Margin modes** | Cross margin only | Cross margin + isolated margin |
| **Asset modes** | Single asset | Single asset + multi-asset |
| **Order types** | Market, TP/SL | Market, limit, stop, TP/SL |
| **Deposit assets** | Multiple assets | BNB, USDT, CAKE, BTC, ETH, USD1, asBNB, lisUSD, WBETH, slisBNB, LISTA, USDF, ASTER, TWT |
| **Wallet experience** | Directly on PancakeSwap but a more siloed experience | Directly on PancakeSwap - no bridging, no separate accounts, unified wallet view across spot and perps |

## **Pro Mode: Everything You'd Expect (and More)**

For experienced traders, **Pro Mode** gives you the full toolkit:

- **Cross margin and isolated margin** - Choose your risk profile per position or across your portfolio
- **Single asset and multi-asset modes** - Trade with one collateral type or diversify across multiple
- **Advanced order types** - Limit orders, stop orders, take-profit/stop-loss
- **Full order book view** - See the depth, place your orders exactly where you want them
- **Complete position management** - Track, adjust, and close positions with full visibility

---

*Note: The previous version of PancakeSwap Perps is still available as a legacy product, if you'd like to continue using it. But if you haven't tried Perps [New] yet, we'd recommend giving it a go - the order book model, Simple Mode, and upgraded trading tools make it a smoother experience all around.*

---

## **TL;DR**

The old perps ran on an LP model. The new perps run on a **proper order book** - more capital-efficient, no oracle dependency, and better execution. Plus, **Simple Mode** means anyone can try perps with a single tap.

Same PancakeSwap. Completely different perps engine. Upgrade your trading.

PancakeSwap Perps has been reinvented from the ground up - from an LP model to a full order book. Here's what changed and why it matters for your trades.

PancakeSwap Perps Just Got a Major Upgrade.

PancakeSwap Perps is fully onchain, built on Aster’s orderbook infrastructure. No account creation, no KYC - connect your wallet and you’re in. Here’s how to get started.

## **Getting Started**

**1. Head to the PancakeSwap Perps page**

Navigate via **Trade → Perps** from the main PancakeSwap site - https://pancakeswap.finance/perps/BTCUSDT?mode=pro

**2. Connect your wallet**

Click **Connect Wallet** in the top right corner. No account creation or KYC required - your wallet is your account.

![1.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/086409e284742a326736895196079113.png)

**3. Pick your mode**

PancakeSwap Perps has two trading modes: **Simple** and **Pro**. You can switch between them at any time without affecting your open positions.

![2.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/bba51a98f73a72cbb4ee76458034eb7d.png)



## **🟢 Simple Mode - for new traders**

Simple Mode is designed for traders who are new to perps trading. Set your size, pick your leverage, and tap UP or DOWN - that’s it.

### **Choose a trading pair**

Tap the pair name at the top of the page to open the asset selector. A wide variety of token pairs are available.

![3.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/04a1d4a4123ca4e0699733219fd7953f.png)

### **Set your position size (“My Bet”)**

Enter how much you want to put in, or tap the preset buttons - **25%**, **50%**, or **MAX** - to size your position as a portion of your available perp fund balance.

![4.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/a0e333bb394fd376196661f8892524a9.png)

### **Set your leverage**

Use the slider or tap a preset - **50x**, **100x**, **150x**, or **200x** - to set your leverage. Your current multiplier is shown in large text above the slider.

When leverage is high enough to carry meaningful liquidation risk, an **Amplified Risk** indicator appears as a reminder.

![missing.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/33a70c8e9de4193c1d40ca9c84ee70c9.png)

### **Tap to open your position**

Tap **UP** to go long, or **DOWN** to go short. Your position opens immediately at the best available market price.

![5.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/b8419c4d1eb45e90b3e9f6441da4d033.png)

### **Tapping multiple times**

Simple Mode lets you build or reduce your position with repeated taps - no need to manually adjust size each time.

- Tap **UP twice** - your position doubles. Each tap adds one unit to your existing long.
- Tap **UP then DOWN** - the positions cancel out, returning you to flat.

Think of each tap as adding or subtracting one unit in a direction. It’s a fun way to scale in or out of a trade.

### **Check your order status**

Your order will appear under **Positions** while it waits to be filled.

![6.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/95ced15fcadd162e66c7846ceb5c39a3.png)

Want to set limit orders, TP/SL, or manage positions in more detail? 

Switch to **Pro Mode** at any time - your open positions are not affected.



## **🧑‍🍳 Pro Mode - Full Control**

Pro Mode gives you full control over your trades - order types, leverage, TP/SL, and position management all in one place.

### **Choose a trading pair**

Same as Simple Mode - tap the pair name at the top to open the asset selector.

![8.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/7fc34b051969e7ab455c6778329a1a7d.png)

### **Analyze the chart**

The built-in TradingView chart lets you analyze price action before placing your trade. All standard charting tools are available.

![9.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/212dd1d89ad9c5fb189415dff7b57ddc.png)

### **Set your position parameters**

In the order panel, configure the following:

- **Long or Short** - select the direction of your trade
- **Leverage** - use the slider or type manually to set your leverage (up to 200x on BTC)
- **Order type** - Market (fills immediately) or Limit (fills at your chosen price)
- **Position size** - enter the size of your trade in your preferred reference currency
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss** (optional) - set TP so your position closes automatically when your target gain is reached, and SL so your position closes to limit losses at a set threshold

Once all parameters are set, click **Buy / Long** or **Sell / Short** to submit your order.

### **Check your order status**

Your order will appear under **Positions** while it waits to be filled.

![10.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/35fa637be18ce72d9a2f8ae771b6e4fb.png)

A step-by-step guide to trading perpetuals on PancakeSwap Perps - from connecting your wallet to placing your first trade in Simple Mode or Pro Mode.

How to Trade Perps on PancakeSwap

Exactly one year ago, PancakeSwap Infinity launched and unlocked new possibilities for your DeFi journey.

With tools to customize your strategy, reduce costs, and optimize your returns — whether you're a trader, liquidity provider, or developer — Infinity offers the flexibility and scalability to help you achieve your goal.

Here's a look at what Infinity has delivered in year one.

## A Year of Infinity in Numbers

When PancakeSwap Infinity launched in April 2025, it introduced a modular architecture built from the ground up: Hooks - customizable smart contracts that act as add-ons, Singleton contracts for gas efficiency, Flash Accounting for reduced transfer costs, and two purpose-built pool types — CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM) and LBAMM (Liquidity Book AMM).

Twelve months in, Infinity alone has processed over $113 billion in trading volume across more than 250 million transactions, serving over 5 million unique users. CLAMM pools account for 97.8% of that volume, with LBAMM handling the rest.

## Key Benefits of Infinity

Infinity uses a modular design that allows for more customization and supports different types of trading pools and pricing models.

For LPs, PancakeSwap Infinity supports two main pool types: CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM) and LBAMM (Liquidity Book AMM). Each pool type is designed to offer distinct advantages, catering to different liquidity strategies.

Developers can build new features more easily using "hooks"—small bits of code that run at key actions in a pool’s lifecycle. These allow for use-cases like custom oracles, dynamic fee pools, advanced trading & liquidity management features, and more.

With the launch of Infinity, a feature called Hooks started reshaping how the platform works for everyone.

- For traders, hooks can enable adaptive fees and discounts on swaps
- For liquidity providers, hooks offer new ways to optimize their strategy - returns, minimizing risks, or automating management. Liquidity Providers can filter and choose pools based on the hooks that best match their goals.
- For developers, they mean an open-source, composable framework to build custom DeFi logic on top of a protocol already serving 5M+ users.

## For LPs: More Than Just Hooks

Infinity's LP story goes beyond hooks. The upgrade introduced two pool types built for different LP strategies:

➤ CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM) — best for LPs who are comfortable with active liquidity management. Concentrate your capital within specific price ranges for higher capital efficiency and potentially higher yields.

➤ LBAMM (Liquidity Book AMM) — best for LPs who prefer a hands-off approach with lower-complexity strategies. Liquidity is organized into discrete price bins, making position management more straightforward.

On the hooks side, the Dynamic Fee Hook has been protecting LPs from impermanent loss since day one — charging proportionally higher fees during volatile conditions so your position bleeds less when markets move fast. Brevis is developing intelligent LP reward allocation hooks, and the modular architecture opens the door for third-party developers to build auto-rebalancing logic and MEV protection modules that attach to individual pools.

## For Developers: Build on Infinity

PancakeSwap Infinity is fully open source, and hooks are the extension point. Any developer can build and deploy a custom hook - whether it's a dynamic fee model, a novel order type, a custom oracle integration, or something entirely new. The hooks template is available on GitHub (foundry-based), and each pool supports one hook that can serve many pools. If you're building DeFi tooling, Infinity's hook architecture gives you a composable foundation with built-in liquidity and 5 million+ traders to ship to.
