🛍️CAKE.PAD

We’re excited to introduce CAKE.PAD, the new and improved early token access experience on PancakeSwap, giving you exclusive early access to new tokens before they hit exchanges.

Evolved from our IFO (Initial Farm Offering), CAKE.PAD is built with simplicity, inclusivity, and CAKE utility in mind. No staking, no lock-ups. Just commit CAKE and get early access to new tokens from exciting projects before they hit exchanges.

What’s CAKE.PAD?

A CAKE.PAD event on PancakeSwap lets you get early access to new project tokens right as they launch.

• Be among the first to own new tokens

• Potentially enjoy higher rewards by entering early

• Available only for a very limited time, so prepare in advance!

👉 The flow is simple:

• You deposit CAKE

• The project receives CAKE (up to its raise target)

• PancakeSwap burns 100% of participation fees (in CAKE)

• You get the new CAKE.PAD partner tokens

As part of the Tokenomics 3.0 upgrade, we’ve made CAKE.PAD simpler, leaner, and easier to participate.

What’s Changed?

Updated CAKE.PAD Format	Previous IFO Format
Only 1 type of event- Anyone with CAKE can participate	Multiple types: Basic / Private / Public
No extra requirements — just deposit CAKE	Requirements included CAKE staking + NFT Profile
No iCAKE / veCAKE (deprecated with Tokenomics 3.0)	Used iCAKE / veCAKE concepts
Tiered tax (applies only if oversubscribed, decreases as oversubscription grows)	Flat participation fee (e.g., 1%)

What’s Unchanged?

• No individual cap — users can commit any amount of $CAKE to participate

• Users can still join multiple CAKE.PAD events at the same time (if more than one is live)

• 100% of CAKE.PAD event fees are burnt — keeping CAKE’s burn mechanism strong

Fee Tiers

• Applies only if the CAKE.PAD event is oversubscribed

• Tax is only deducted from participants' excess committed funds, no fees are paid by the CAKE.PAD project partner

• The CAKE.PAD project partner receives 100% of its targeted raise amount

• PancakeSwap will burn 100% of CAKE.PAD event fees as CAKE
