PancakeSwap Infinity has launched the CAKE Emission Program to support Hook developers in building liquidity on PancakeSwap. Developers can deploy Hooks and receive ecosystem support to help grow their pools. Liquidity providers (LPs) who add liquidity to selected Hook-enabled pools will earn CAKE rewards automatically without any extra steps.

#### **What is the CAKE Emission Program?**

The CAKE Emission Program is designed to incentivize liquidity providers (LPs) by rewarding them with CAKE tokens. This initiative is part of PancakeSwap Infinity's commitment to supporting **Hooks**—customizable add-ons for liquidity pools that enhance the trading experience. Hooks provide various benefits, such as trading fee discounts, dynamic fees, advanced liquidity controls, and more. However, for Hooks to be effective, they need liquidity, which is where the CAKE Emission Program plays a crucial role.

**PancakeSwap** will allocate up to **0.05 CAKE per block (or 1440 CAKE per day)** from the **[Ecosystem Growth fund](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting/proposal/0x3fb72659b13423d9b477a08ccea5528cc5490d5b3114108371eba2ae367ba04f)**—previously known as the Multichain Warchest—to support this program **without requiring additional CAKE emissions**. Any unused funds will remain within the Ecosystem Growth allocation.

The amount of CAKE rewards each selected Hook-enabled pool will receive will largely correspond to the amount of protocol fees generated by the pool. In general, the more protocol fees they generate, the higher the CAKE emission they will receive. The PancakeSwap Kitchen will adjust incentives as necessary to ensure sustainable growth.

#### **Why the CAKE Emission Program Matters**

The program aims to address some Hook developers' challenges in attracting liquidity, even when creating impactful solutions.

**Its Goals Include:**

- **Help Developers Attract Liquidity:** Hook-enabled pools need liquidity to function effectively. This program gives developers the support they need to bootstrap liquidity.
- **Encourage High-Value Hooks:** The program encourages the creation of Hooks that generate high trading volumes and revenue.
- **Boost CAKE Burn:** As more trading happens in these pools, more CAKE will be burned, helping reduce the CAKE supply.

**How the Program Benefits Everyone:**

- **For Liquidity Providers:** You can earn CAKE rewards by providing liquidity to Hook-enabled pools. These pools may also have lower impermanent loss and potentially higher fee returns. _Please note, If you add liquidity to any Infinity pools, it will automatically qualify for the farm, and you will start receiving CAKE emissions for your liquidity position._
- **For Developers:** By building Hooks on PancakeSwap Infinity, you can attract liquidity to your pools and potentially earn revenue if you implement a Hook fee.
- **For Traders:** Due to Hooks’ added functionality, you can benefit from advanced features like fee discounts and improved trading conditions.


#### **How Does the Program Work for Hook Developers?**

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how the CAKE Emission Program operates:

1\. **Application:** Hook developers fill out an **[application form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFRDoA5mmpSasnthV6xOKA0MXaAyabeAJoRBN4x5EaTo9rSg/viewform)** to submit their Hooks.

2\. **Evaluation:** The PancakeSwap Kitchen reviews the Hooks based on their feasibility, usefulness, and potential impact.

3\. **Approval:** Once approved, the Hooks are whitelisted on PancakeSwap Infinity.

4\. **Liquidity Providers Rewards:** Liquidity pools that integrate the approved Hooks will receive:

a. A share of up to 1,440 CAKE rewards per day to bootstrap liquidity
b. Visibility on **PancakeSwap’s liquidity and pool creation page. **
c. Co-marketing support to drive adoption

#### **Initial Eligible Hooks for CAKE Emission**

To kick off the program, LPs providing liquidity to the following Hook-enabled pools will start earning CAKE emissions. These Hooks have been selected because the developers have actively collaborated with the PancakeSwap team over the past year, ensuring they are well-built and ready for launch.

PancakeSwap Infinity has launched the CAKE Emission Program to support Hook developers in building liquidity on PancakeSwap.

Introducing the PancakeSwap Infinity CAKE Emission Program: Fueling Liquidity and Growth for Hook-Enabled Pools

PancakeSwap Infinity is **[now live](https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/pancake-swap-infinity-is-now-live-formerly-pancake-swap-v4)**—and it’s packed with powerful new tools to help traders and liquidity providers get more out of DeFi. One of the most significant upgrades is **[Hooks](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/trade/pancakeswap-infinity/hooks)**.

#### **So, what are Hooks?**

Hooks are like add-ons or plugins. They’re special smart contracts that let developers build extra features into liquidity pools, such as smarter fees, trading discounts, and loyalty rewards.

To kick things off, we’ve launched three Hooks, created by PancakeSwap and our partner Brevis. These Hooks are already live and ready to use!

#### **The 3 Hooks You Can Use Right Now**

1\. **[Dynamic Fee Hook](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/trade/pancakeswap-infinity/hooks/dynamic-fee-hook)** (by PancakeSwap)

This Hook automatically adjusts trading fees based on how the market is moving. When the market is stable, fees stay low to make trading smoother. But when there’s high volatility, fees go up, penalizing arbitrage traders and helping protect liquidity providers (LPs).

**Why it’s great:** LPs can earn more during busy, high-risk times, while everyday traders enjoy fairer fees when markets are calm.

**Liquidity Pairs Supported:**

- **[BNB-BTCB (CLAMM, 0.05% fee tier)](https://pancakeswap.finance/liquidity/pool/bsc/0xc61b01840ee1390604e3bcb1ada82c192637eb83e68e69c469424549b97db57a)**

2\. **VIP Discount Hook (by Brevis)**

The more you trade, the less you pay. This Hook gives discounts to high-volume traders based on their trading volume. Read more about the discounted fee tier and volume here (brevis blog link)

**Why it’s great:** High-volume traders benefit from fee discounts on PancakeSwap, increasing the liquidity providers’ APR.

**Liquidity Pairs Supported:**

- **[USDT-USDC (CLAMM, 0.01% fee tier)](http://pancakeswap.finance/liquidity/pool/bsc/0x3C2C41B2711BF990822E25135EAB4EFFE9BD33C8D016FD19DC131D7C9E2A432D)**

3\. **Token Holding Fee Discount Hook (by Brevis)**

You get lower trading fees if you hold specific tokens for a while. At launch, CAKE holders can enjoy discounted trading fees based on their average CAKE balance. Read more about holding and discount (Brevis Blog link)

**Why it’s great:** It rewards loyal users and encourages long-term token-holding.

**Liquidity Pairs Supported:**

- **[CAKE-USDT (CLAMM, 0.25% fee tier)](http://pancakeswap.finance/liquidity/pool/bsc/0x47516855520496B84A169F7BB92ACE7FFB6E8C535BCCB52A308CCFF113AECCFB)**

PancakeSwap Launches Swap Bot on Telegram: Trade Over 3,000 Tokens on BNB Chain

In our March 2024 report, we explore the world of CAKE token supply management on PancakeSwap. Learn how PancakeSwap reduces the total supply of CAKE through strategic burns and the pursuit of ultrasound CAKE.

### **CAKE Total Supply Reduction:**
As of  April 2nd, 2024, PancakeSwap has successfully burned 0.189% of the CAKE total supply for March 2024. To calculate this percentage, we divided the total net mint of -731,042 CAKE by the initial total CAKE supply on March 4th, 2024. This marks the seventh consecutive month of CAKE total supply reduction, with a cumulative -2,103,059 CAKE net mint over September, October, November, December 2023, January, February, and March 2024. 

### **Achieving CAKE Total Supply Reduction through Net Minting:**
In April 2024, PancakeSwap achieved a net mint of -731,042. This negative net mint indicates that more CAKE tokens were burned than minted during the month.

### **March Mint Breakdown**
- Farms: 816,702
- CAKE Syrup Pool: 117,600
- Other Product Usage: 123,962
- Total March Mint: 1,058,264

_Please note that we have excluded CAKE mints that directly contribute to burning, calculating the mint based on raw CAKE/block emission (including emission changes over the months) for a precise monthly mint estimate._

### **March Burn Categories**

January 2024: PancakeSwap's CAKE Burn

Dear PancakeSwap Community,

We are excited to share a pivotal moment in the evolution of PancakeSwap's tokenomics. Over the past year, PancakeSwap has been on a transformative journey, refining its strategies and strengthening its position in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Today, we are pleased to announce a crucial adjustment to the CAKE token's maximum supply, reducing it from 750 million to 450 million CAKE.

## **Background and Evolution:**
![kGk5kri (2).jpg](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/cd77b3feb5a8a5602dd68431d27b59a4.jpg)

PancakeSwap has substantially enhanced its tokenomics, emissions, and overall growth strategy. The introduction of **[CAKE Tokenomics v2.5](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting/proposal/0x707643dd2c2b941c7274f26a0362922198912e8549050ae9f2d1d9d71ada04bb)* have collectively laid the foundation for sustained growth across all our deployments. 

![2024-01-04 14.46.26.jpg](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/bcacb74fd03719dae7a1e88c5420dad3.jpg)
After achieving consistent deflation in recent months, our latest strategic move is to reduce the CAKE token's total supply to a maximum cap of 450 million CAKE, aligning with our vision for a robust, deflationary model.

## **Rationale for Adjustment:**

1\. **Certainty for the Community:** After nearly three years of development, we now have more accurate estimations of incentives required to achieve our growth targets, providing certainty regarding future CAKE token supply.

2\. **Accelerating Ultrasound CAKE:** Lowering the total supply is crucial in achieving ultrasound CAKE, signaling PancakeSwap's departure from a hyperinflationary tokenomics model.

3\. **Flexibility for Growth:** A new cap of 450 million CAKE ensures sufficient supply for future growth, including market share expansion on Ethereum, Ethereum L2s, and initiatives like position managers.

## **Community Support and Governance:**
Before the official proposal, we initiated a **[forum discussion](https://forum.pancakeswap.finance/t/discussion-for-proposal-to-reduce-cake-token-total-supply/100/16)**, gauging the sentiment of our vibrant community, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. This strong support paved the way for the **[official proposal](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting/proposal/0x3e014aab40f6551da9f76da0e62e44e9ece55c4997f220057bf3e42dc8307c2f)**, with more than 97% voting in favor of the reduction, leading to the successful implementation of the new CAKE total supply.

## **Final Adjustment Details:**
- Previous Total Supply: 750,000,000 CAKE
- Current Total Supply: 450,000,000 CAKE
- CAKE Total Supply Decrease: -300,000,000 CAKE

We invite you to delve into our most recent **[Monthly CAKE Burn Report](https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/december-2023-pancake-swap-s-cake-burn)** and explore the comprehensive CAKE **[Tokenomics documentation](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/tokenomics/cake/cake-tokenomics)**.

Thank you for being an integral part of PancakeSwap's journey. Together, we’re continuing to build a robust and innovative DeFi ecosystem.
