PancakeSwap v2 (Ethereum)

PancakeSwap (V2) is a popular decentralized exchange (DEX) allowing BEP-20 token swaps on the BNB Chain. It is the biggest exchange of the BNB Chain ecosystem and one of the top DEXs by market share. The exchange employs an automated market maker (AMM) model, allowing users to trade against a liquidity pool. You can become a liquidity provider and receive LP tokens, which entitle users to a share of the exchange's trading fees.

LP token holders can also engage in yield farming to earn CAKE, the exchange's utility token. The token can be staked in so-called ‘Syrup Pools’ with flexible or fixed-term staking. Flexible staking allows users to unstake at any time, while fixed-term staking maximizes yield and locks up tokens for up to 52 weeks.

Furthermore, PancakeSwap (V2) offers a lottery, where users can win prizes in CAKE. On the NFT marketplace, collectibles can be traded, and with the NFT Profile System, users can set up personalized profiles. There is also a perpetual trading exchange, developed in partnership with ApolloX, that offers futures trading of several popular token pairs without an expiry date. Users can trade popular token pairs with leverage to enter a bigger position than their account balance.
