In our January 2024 report, we dive into the CAKE token supply management world on PancakeSwap. Learn how PancakeSwap reduces the CAKE total supply through strategic burns and pursuit ultrasound CAKE.

CAKE Total Supply Reduction:

As of February 6th, 2024, PancakeSwap has successfully burned 0.046% of the CAKE total supply for January 2024. To calculate this percentage, we divided the total net mint of -178,547 CAKE by the initial total CAKE supply on December 26th, 2023. This marks the fifth consecutive months of CAKE total supply reduction, with a cumulative -1,276,994 CAKE net mint over September, October, November, December 2023, and January 2024.
