1. Multiple Pool Types: Customize Your Liquidity Strategy

For the first time, PancakeSwap Infinity supports multiple pool types, offering liquidity providers more flexibility to optimize capital and manage risk. Whether you prefer an active, hands-on approach with concentrated liquidity or a more straightforward strategy, PancakeSwap Infinity provides various pool options to suit different market conditions and strategies.

Currently, 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. As part of the PancakeSwap Infinity framework, we’re set to continuously add new pool types and features, giving you the flexibility to adjust and optimize your liquidity strategy as the market evolves—something that sets PancakeSwap apart from other DEXs.

A. CLAMM: Maximize Capital Efficiency with Concentrated Liquidity

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 a broad range of strategies.

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

B. LBAMM: Simple Liquidity Approach

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 price impact. 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 any 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. Custom Fee Structures: More Control, Optimize Returns

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.

3. Hooks: Transform Your Trading and Liquidity Experience with Custom Features

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.

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.
