GM Community,

The cryptocurrency landscape's evolution continues to redefine the financial realm as we know it. In a bold stride towards the future, we embark on an extraordinary journey by deploying our suite of products on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) chain. This development signifies a paradigm shift in our perception (DeFi), promising enhanced security, scalability, and accessibility for our platform and bringing our Swap, Liquidity Provision, and upcoming Yield Farming to this Layer 2 Chain.

Base: Pioneering Ethereum Layer 2 Chain

Base, a collaborative effort between Coinbase and Optimism, stands as an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) chain that presents developers with an avenue to construct decentralized applications (dApps) efficiently. This innovative L2 solution boasts a range of benefits that make it a compelling platform for DeFi development. Base is securely built upon Ethereum's foundation, ensuring top-notch security and scalability. Leveraging Coinbase's expertise, Base seamlessly integrates Coinbase products, offering easy fiat onramps and access to the expansive Coinbase ecosystem.

Why PancakeSwap is Building on Base

Our decision to build on Base reflects a strategic move towards a more robust and sustainable DeFi ecosystem. By utilizing Base's security measures and Ethereum compatibility, we position ourselves to offer users a reliable and low-cost trading experience. Furthermore, the integration with Coinbase's ecosystem brings the power of mainstream crypto adoption to our users, making it a significant milestone in pursuing a more inclusive DeFi landscape.

PancakeSwap's Array of Offerings on Base

We are expanding our product lineup on Base, introducing a suite of offerings to cater to users' diverse needs:

1. Swap Base tokens with fees as low as 0.01%

The core of PancakeSwap's functionality remains intact on Base, allowing users to seamlessly swap various tokens with transaction fees as low as 0.01% and increased efficiency.

2. Liquidity Provision

Liquidity providers can contribute to Base's thriving ecosystem by participating in liquidity pools, offering users ample opportunities to earn rewards. By supplying liquidity, you stand to reap the rewards from trading fees every time users tap into your liquidity pool for swaps. This channel provides an avenue for passive income growth while contributing to the overall expansion of the platform. With the enhanced scalability of Base, augment your returns with a remarkable capital multiplier of up to 4000x compared to v2.

3. Embracing the Power of Yield Farming (Coming Soon)

Yield farming, a hallmark of DeFi, becomes a reality on Base through PancakeSwap's farming options, enabling users to earn tokens by staking their LP tokens. Farms open doors to the prospect of earning CAKE tokens while simultaneously holding a position in your LP tokens, presenting a dynamic avenue for growth.

The curtain rises on Base's grand entrance as the fifth island in the "Traverse the Treasure Islands" Galxe campaign. By seamlessly integrating PancakeSwap onto Base, users are invited to join the campaign by participating in token swapping, liquidity provisioning, and fulfilling social media tasks to amass loyalty points and unlock exclusive NFTs.

Please note that if Base provides any incentives, we will distribute them among various stakeholders, including the CAKE community, CAKE stakers, projects contributing to PancakeSwap's development, and ecosystem contributors. However, Base has yet to communicate any incentives at this point. We encourage our users to actively participate in the Base ecosystem and take full advantage of the "Traverse the Treasure Islands" campaign.

As the world of DeFi continues to flourish, PancakeSwap's integration into Base epitomizes the relentless pursuit of innovation. The secure and developer-friendly atmosphere cultivated by Base, paired with the comprehensive array of products offered by PancakeSwap, forges a harmonious relationship that promises heightened accessibility, reduced fees, and an uninterrupted user experience. This stride towards DeFi marks a monumental leap, and the "Traverse the Treasure Islands" campaign invites users to partake in this transformative journey actively. With the horizons of DeFi now expanded, PancakeSwap assumes its role at the forefront of the charge toward an inclusive and efficient crypto-driven future.
