Our April 2025 report explores 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 May 5, 2024, PancakeSwap has successfully burned -0.611% of the CAKE total supply for April 2025. To calculate this percentage, we divided the total net mint of -2,288,550 CAKE by the initial total CAKE supply on March 31, 2025. This marks the 20th consecutive months of CAKE total supply reduction, with a cumulative -16,923,316 CAKE net mint over September, October, November, December 2023, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2024, January, February, March, April 2025.

Achieving CAKE Total Supply Reduction through Net Minting:
