In our December 2023 report, we dive into the CAKE token supply management world on PancakeSwap. Learn how PancakeSwap reduces the CAKE total supply through strategic burns and pursuit ultrasound CAKE.
As of January 4th, 2023, PancakeSwap has successfully burned 0.100% of the CAKE total supply for December 2023. To calculate this percentage, we divided the total net mint of -385,780 CAKE by the initial total CAKE supply on November 30th, 2023. This marks the four consecutive months of CAKE total supply reduction, with a cumulative -1,098,447 CAKE net mint over September, October, November, and December 2023.
In December 2023, PancakeSwap achieved a net mint of -385,780 CAKE. This negative net mint indicates that more CAKE tokens were burned than minted during the month.
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.
Note: We pro-rate weekly CAKE burns over two months to ensure accuracy. For example, burns occurring at the end of November and stretching into December receive a proportionate allocation between the two months.
