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

Today, we’re excited to launch **Crosschain Swaps** — a game-changing feature that lets you swap tokens across 3 blockchains (BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base) 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, and Base. 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)**

Retirement of Position Managers – Bril, Defiedge, Teahouse, Range, and Alpaca

Action Required: Retirement of Position Managers - Bril, Defiedge, Teahouse, Range, and Alpaca

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

In the world of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), change is constant. Every platform is working to improve, offering users more control, better tools, and an overall smoother experience. The DEX space has come a long way, thanks to the innovation and hard work of many protocols that have set the foundation for what we have today. We’re incredibly grateful for these pioneers, who’ve played an essential role in building the DeFi space to where it is now.

PancakeSwap Infinity aims to build beyond that foundation by offering an open, adaptable ecosystem that grows with its users. It’s not just about adding new features—it’s about giving users the flexibility to take control of their DeFi journey and providing an open space where everyone can contribute, innovate, and shape the future.

# **1. Multiple Liquidity Pools: More Options, More Flexibility**

One of the uniqueness of PancakeSwap Infinity compared to other DEXs is the addition of supporting multiple liquidity pool types. Many DEXs offer just one or two basic pool options, but PancakeSwap Infinity supports Concentrated Liquidity Pools (CLAMM) and Liquidity Book AMM Pools (LBAMM). Each of these pool types has the capability to support hooks on top—**it's the first LBAMM pool with hooks.**

## **A. Concentrated Liquidity Pools (CLAMM)**:

The **CLAMM pool type** is ideal for liquidity providers who want more control and efficiency. It allows you to concentrate liquidity within a specific price range, increasing capital efficiency and deepening the pool's liquidity.

**Key Features:**

- **Higher Capital Efficiency:** Providing liquidity within a narrower range minimizes price impact.
- **Gas Efficiency:** Gas-efficient when adding liquidity in broad ranges, reducing transaction costs.
- **Flexibility:** Suitable for high and low-volatile pairs, offering various strategies.

**Best For:** Liquidity providers who are comfortable with more active liquidity management.

## **B. Liquidity Book AMM or “Bin Pool” (LBAMM):**

The **LBAMM pool type** offers a simpler option. Pioneered by Trader Joe’s, LBAMM divides liquidity into discrete price bins, where trades within each bin occur without slippage. It’s a great choice for low-volatility pairs, providing a smooth and cost-effective trading experience.

**Key Features:**

- **Zero Slippage**: Trades within a price bin happen without price impact.
- **Gas Efficiency**: Liquidity in LBAMM is represented by fungible ERC-20 tokens, making it easier and cheaper to adjust your position.
- **Flexibility**: Ideal for low-volatility pairs with support for different liquidity shapes.

**Best for:** Liquidity Providers prefer a hands-off approach and want a lower-complexity strategy.

# **2. Hook Support on Every Pool Type, A Future-Proof Architecture**

PancakeSwap Infinity is setting a new standard for flexibility in DeFi, and we’re just getting started. As the platform evolves, more pool types will be supported, offering even more versatility.  ***No other DEX has offered this level of flexibility before.*** The PancakeSwap Infinity architecture allows for integrating new pool types and hook support without needing to redeploy smart contracts or release a new version. As the DeFi ecosystem evolves, emerging AMM curve innovations can be seamlessly implemented while keeping the powerful hook functionality intact.

# **3. An Open-Source Ecosystem for Innovation**

DeFi thrives on collaboration, and PancakeSwap Infinity is fully open-source. This means anyone—developers, creators, and the wider community—can contribute to the platform, add new features, and help improve it over time. By being open-source, PancakeSwap Infinity encourages continuous innovation and ensures the platform stays ahead of the curve.

But it’s also important to recognize that none of this would be possible without the work of other protocols. They’ve laid the groundwork for all this potential, and we’re grateful for their contributions. 

# **Looking Ahead: The Future of DeFi is Open and Limitless**

PancakeSwap Infinity is just the beginning. With flexible liquidity pools, customizable fee structures, and open-source collaboration, the platform is designed to keep up with the ever-evolving DeFi space. As the market grows, PancakeSwap Infinity will adapt, offering users even more ways to take control of their DeFi experience.

We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead. The future of DeFi is full of limitless possibilities, and PancakeSwap Infinity is committed to being an open, collaborative ecosystem where everyone can contribute and innovate. We’re grateful to be part of this journey and to work alongside the incredible community of builders, traders, and innovators who continue to shape DeFi.

As we move forward, PancakeSwap Infinity will continue evolving and offer everyone more opportunities. Whether you’re a seasoned DeFi user or starting, we can’t wait to see what you’ll create with us.

In the world of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), change is constant.

What is PancakeSwap Infinity, and how does it set itself apart from other DEXs?

[**PancakeSwap Infinity**](https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/pancake-swap-infinity-is-now-live-formerly-pancake-swap-v4) has arrived, and it’s here to make Farming simpler than ever. With Infinity Pools, liquidity providers can now earn trading fees and Farming rewards without any extra steps. Simply add liquidity to eligible pools and start earning immediately — no staking LP tokens are required!

### What Makes Infinity Farming Different?

In **PancakeSwap v2 and v3**, Farming required two steps:

1\. Add liquidity to a pool

2\. Manually stake LP tokens into a separate Farm contract

With **PancakeSwap Infinity**, the process is now **streamlined**:

1\. Add liquidity to eligible Infinity Pools and automatically start earning trading fees and Farming rewards — there is no need to stake your LP tokens.

This simplified approach makes Farming more accessible than ever, whether you're new to DeFi or an experienced pro!

### How Are Rewards Distributed?

You'll automatically begin earning rewards once you add liquidity to eligible Farms. However, rewards are only given to **in-range positions** (liquidity earning fees).

Rewards are distributed **proportionally** to the fees earned by your position during each **epoch**.

### What’s an Epoch?

An **epoch** is a fixed period (currently 8 hours) in which rewards are calculated and distributed. Epochs occur at the following times:

- 00:00 UTC
- 08:00 UTC
- 16:00 UTC

After each epoch ends, rewards are processed and sent to eligible positions. You can claim your rewards at the end of the epoch in a single, gas-efficient transaction. Any unclaimed rewards will roll over to the next epoch, ensuring no earnings are lost or expired.

Want to learn more about how it works? Check out our **[documentation](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/trade/pancakeswap-infinity/farms).**

### Farms Available at Launch

To kick off Farming on Infinity, we're launching the following liquidity pools eligible for Farming rewards:

- USDT-BNB
- USDC-BNB
- BTCB-BNB
- ETH-BNB
- CAKE-USDT
- CAKE-BNB
- BNB-USDT
- USDC-USDT

...and more will roll out over time — stay tuned!

**Note:** Providing liquidity in DeFi carries risks, including **impermanent loss**. Make sure to fully understand how providing liquidity works before participating.

### **1. Multiple Pool Types**

For the first time, we’ll be supporting two types of liquidity pools:

- **CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM)**: This pool lets liquidity providers concentrate their liquidity in specific price ranges. This means more capital efficiency and less slippage.
- **LBAMM (Liquidity Book AMM)**: LBAMM divides liquidity into discrete price bins, where trades within each bin occur without slippage. It’s a great choice for low-volatility pairs, providing a smooth and cost-effective trading experience.

Each of these pool types has the capability to support hooks on top—it's the first LBAMM pool with hooks. And we’re just getting started—we’ll add even more pool types in the future. ***No other DEX has offered this level of flexibility before.***

### **2. Full Fee Control for Liquidity Providers**

With **PancakeSwap Infinity**, liquidity providers get full control over their fee structure. No more being locked into fixed fee tiers! You’ll be able to choose between **static** or **dynamic** fee tier pool, depending on your strategy and market conditions.

### **3. Hooks – Endless Customization**

PancakeSwap Infinity gives liquidity providers complete control of their fee structure. Unlike previous versions with fixed fee tiers, you can choose between **dynamic** or **static** fee pools based on your strategy.

**Key Features:**

- **Static Fees:** A fixed fee is set at the time of pool creation. This fee remains constant, offering consistency and predictability for both liquidity providers and traders.
- **Dynamic Fees:** Dynamic fees are determined using a hook, which allows for flexible, programmable logic. The fee can be adjusted based on various factors such as market volatility, liquidity conditions, or trader-specific incentives like volume-based discounts.

With the flexibility to choose your fee structure, PancakeSwap Infinity helps you tailor your strategy for better performance.

PancakeSwap Infinity now supports Hooks, taking your trading and liquidity management to the next level. Hooks are externally deployed contracts that act as add-ons, allowing projects and developers to deploy and apply custom features that enhance their strategies. Whether you want to access trading fee discounts, dynamic rewards, or better control over your liquidity, Hooks makes it possible.

### **For Liquidity Providers: Optimize Your Returns and Minimize Risks**

Hooks offer liquidity providers 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.

**Hooks for Liquidity Providers:**

- **PancakeSwap Dynamic Fee**: Optimize your returns by penalizing arbitrageurs and rewarding liquidity providers with higher returns during periods of market volatility.

We’re continually working to deploy more hooks to enhance your experience. Learn more about our Hooks from our documentation **[here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/trade/pancakeswap-infinity/hooks/dynamic-fee-hook)**.

### For Traders: Exclusive Trading Fee Discount (Coming Soon)

PancakeSwap’s Smart Router automatically selects the most favorable pool for your trade, ensuring the best rates—whether from a standard pool (v2, v3) or a Hook-enabled pool (Infinity). If you have a preferred hook, you can manually choose a pool with that specific hook for a more customized trading experience.

**Hooks for Traders (Coming Soon):**

- **VIP Discount**: You can save on fees based on your trading volume, rewarding high-frequency traders with lower costs over time.
- **Token Holding Discount**: Hold a specific token for a period and enjoy reduced fees, which is ideal for supporting token projects or participating in launches.
- **CEX Whale Discount**: Verified traders from large centralized exchanges can earn discounts on PancakeSwap, encouraging big exchange traders to explore DeFi.

These Hooks help traders save on fees, ensuring better rates on every trade.

### 4. Gas Savings: Faster, Cheaper, Smarter Transactions

PancakeSwap Infinity has been designed to make your trading and liquidity experience faster, cheaper, and more efficient. With new gas-saving features, we've significantly reduced pool creation costs by up to **99%**. Swapping ETH and BNB now **costs half the gas** compared to ERC-20 tokens, benefiting liquidity providers and users by making the platform more affordable.

### **Key Gas-Saving Features:**

**A. Lower Gas Fees with Singleton and Flash Accounting**

With PancakeSwap Infinity, we’ve simplified the infrastructure, reducing gas costs. By consolidating all liquidity pools into a single contract (the Singleton Contract), pool creation costs have been reduced by up to **99%**. Flash Accounting improves efficiency further by processing multiple transactions at once, lowering the cost for each swap. This results in faster and cheaper trades, saving both time and money.

**B. Native Token Support: Lower Gas for ETH & BNB Liquidity Pools**

Native token liquidity pools, such as those for ETH and BNB, are now more affordable. Thanks to our updated platform architecture, swapping ETH or BNB **costs half the gas** of swapping ERC-20 tokens, offering a more efficient and cost-effective trading experience.

**C. ERC-6909 Accounting: Save More on Frequent Transactions**

For active traders and liquidity providers, **ERC-6909 accounting** offers additional gas savings. Rather than transferring tokens back and forth between your wallet and the platform, ERC-6909 tokens represent your assets directly within the contract. This reduces the need for external transfers, lowering gas fees for each swap—a perfect feature for frequent users.

**D. Donate: Reward Liquidity Providers with Lower Gas Costs**

The Donate() feature allows anyone to reward liquidity providers directly with minimal cost. Whether you want to support liquidity in your favorite pools or incentivize providers, Donate() ensures you can offer rewards without the high costs typically associated with traditional reward systems. This encourages more liquidity and creates a healthier, more active platform.
