Tips for New Traders

1. Take Advantage of Zero-Fee Trading at Launch:

At launch, PancakeSwapX will not charge trading fees for over 150 tokens on Ethereum and Arbitrum for a limited period when your trade is routed through PancakeSwapX. If PancakeSwapX has a better execution price, your trade will be automatically routed there for maximum savings!

If your trade isn't routed to PancakeSwapX, it will be routed through traditional AMM pools, and standard PancakeSwap fees will apply. Therefore, check the fee structure before confirming your trade.

This zero-fee promotion for select pairs is only available for a limited time at launch. After this promotional period, standard PancakeSwapX fees may apply. Any future adjustments to fees will be communicated in advance.

2. Avoid the Hassle of Native Gas Tokens

With PancakeSwapX, you won’t need to hold multiple native gas tokens just to complete your trades. Instead, gas fees are seamlessly built into the trade price, so you won’t pay them separately. External liquidity providers cover the gas costs and include them in the swap price. For new users, double-check the total swap amount and confirm that you’re comfortable with the final trade price before proceeding.

3. Shield Your Trades from Bot Attacks

PancakeSwapX’s built-in MEV protection safeguards your trades from front-running and sandwich attacks. By signing off-chain orders, your transactions stay hidden until execution, preventing bots from interfering with your trades. Always monitor your order status, and if needed, retry failed orders—all while staying protected and avoiding extra gas costs.

Following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the PancakeSwapX ecosystem and enhance your trading experience. Welcome to the future of decentralized trading—let’s explore the possibilities together.
