If you want to know more, during July we had an AMA with the Chefs of the kitchen at Twitter Spaces (or XSpaces?). If you want to relive the moment or read about it because you missed it, we have a recap posted on our blog 👉https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/recap-q3-roadmap-ama

The Returning of the cIFO: SABLE FINANCE

sable.jpg

It's been a long time since the last cIFO. Seven months to be exact. We know the community missed this product, so the Chefs have been working hard in the kitchen to bring it back for all PancakeSwap users.

Sable Finance is a decentralized stablecoin protocol that allows users to draw interest-free loans, minting USDS, a USD-pegged stablecoin.

The Community IFO (cIFO) is a variant of IFO designed to reward our loyal IFO community and introduce our community to projects with slightly smaller raises.

We have raised a total of $0.78M USD for the project, with both sales being oversubscribed!

Also we launched a 90-day SABLE Syrup Pool for all the PancakeSwap community to Stake.

Still Cooking - Coming Soon!

We have some exciting plans on the horizon:

Multichain Expansion: Enhancing DeFi Access - At least another chain to go

This month, we have plans to expand our reach even further by deploying PancakeSwap v3 on at least one more blockchain. This move will not only enhance the accessibility and versatility of our platform but also provide our users with more options and opportunities to trade and engage with crypto.

But that's not all! As we gear up for this next growth phase, we are also dedicated to enriching our existing product suite on chains like Polygon zkEVM and zkSync Era. We believe in constantly improving and refining our offerings, ensuring you have the best experience using our platform.

Position Manager

Coming soon is an exciting marketplace-like system, allowing easy access, evaluation, and participation in different v3 position managers and liquidity automation providers, all seamlessly integrated within the PancakeSwap interface.

As we speak, the chefs are diligently developing in-house strategies tailored explicitly for the PancakeSwap community. These strategies come with unique tweaks and clever designs to enhance your experience.

Moreover, we have actively collaborated with industry-leading partners and are currently onboarding them.

Simple Staking

Simple Staking offers a seamless single-sided staking experience, allowing users to stake various tokens for a fixed period and earn attractive APR.

As a PancakeSwap user, you can enhance your staking rewards even further if you hold CAKE tokens and participate as a staker. The extra APR boost adds an exciting incentive to make the most of your staking experience.
