PancakeSwap is back to rock the DeFi space by launching PancakeSwap Infinity on April 28, 2025. This new version replaces PancakeSwap v4 and brings a series of innovations that make their ecosystem even more attractive.

On the other hand, this launch strengthens PancakeSwap’s steps, which recorded a daily trading volume of $3.02 billion in mid-March 2025. CNF reported that they are also expanding multi-chain support and improving security features.

In addition, innovations such as SpringBoard and collaboration with Orbs on Layer 3 further enrich the DeFi user experience on PancakeSwap. You can imagine how busy the team behind this project is!

New Features That Make PancakeSwap Even More Flexible

One of the most interesting things about PancakeSwap Infinity is its ability to support multichain. This platform is already active on BNB Chain and plans to reach other blockchains in the future.

Furthermore, they introduced two new Automated Market Maker (AMM) models: Concentrated Liquidity AMM (CLAMM) and Liquidity Book AMM (LBAMM), each offering greater capital efficiency and flexibility for liquidity providers.

Not only that, PancakeSwap Infinity also allows liquidity providers to choose between static or dynamic fee structures. On the other hand, the “Hooks” feature now allows developers to add unique functionality to the pool without having to tinker with the core protocol. Just imagine, it’s as easy as adding extra toppings to your favorite pizza.

Even more interestingly, the Singleton contract and Flash Accounting system implemented can reduce pool creation costs by up to 99%, and reduce gas fees for swapping native tokens like BNB or ETH by around 50%. Still insufficient? PancakeSwap Infinity is now open-source, which increases the possibility of community cooperation.

CAKE Staking Overhaul Raises Governance Concerns

However, the journey to Infinity did not come without other changes. On April 23, 2025, PancakeSwap implemented Tokenomics 3.0 for the CAKE token. All CAKE and veCAKE staking was officially opened, with the old staking mechanism discontinued.

While the goal was to simplify participation and reduce token emissions by 43%, the change caused controversy in the community regarding its potential impact on governance.

On the other hand, PancakeSwap also announced the deactivation of ten Syrup Pools on April 28, 2025. This was done to ensure compatibility with the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) hard fork scheduled for the following day.

Last but not least, eight other Syrup Pools will be migrated to a new smart contract. Users are advised to unstake their CAKE immediately to be able to participate in this update.

As an added surprise, Binance Wallet revealed that the 13th Token Generation Event (TGE) for the MilkyWay (MILK) project will take place via PancakeSwap. The subscription period opens on April 29, 2025, and uses the Alpha Points system to determine participation.
