Swapping assets across blockchains has often been a hassle, like dealing with bridges, multiple apps, and long wait times. With PancakeSwap's new Crosschain Swap feature we’re changing that. Now, you can swap tokens between BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base instantly and securely, all within the PancakeSwap interface you already use.

No bridges, no extra apps, just one-click Crosschain Swaps powered by Across Protocol.

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.
