In our February 2024 report, we dive into the CAKE token supply management world 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 March 8th, 2024, PancakeSwap has successfully burned 0.025% of the CAKE total supply for February 2024. To calculate this percentage, we divided the total net mint of -95,023 CAKE by the initial total CAKE supply on February 5th, 2024. This marks the sixth consecutive month of CAKE total supply reduction, with a cumulative -1,372,017 CAKE net mint over September, October, November, December 2023, January, and February 2024.

Achieving CAKE Total Supply Reduction through Net Minting:

In February 2024, PancakeSwap achieved a net mint of -95,023. This negative net mint indicates that more CAKE tokens were burned than minted during the month.
