# Product Overview ![](/files/Ot9sxzY2GNiSgIu2Zvpl) {% hint style="success" %} **PancakeSwap helps you make the most out of your crypto in three ways:** **Trade, Earn, and Win.** {% endhint %} ## Trade > Instantly swap crypto tokens: no registration or account needed. ### The people's choice PancakeSwap is a leading decentralized exchange. Available across eleven chains: BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Aptos, ZKsync, Linea, Monad, Robinhood, and opBNB, with the highest trading volumes in the market (sources: [1](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/decentralized) [2](https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/dex/)). ### Low fees Why pay more?\ Trading fees are lower than other top decentralized exchanges too, so that's a win for you! ### Decentralized Trade directly from your wallet app.\ Unlike centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, PancakeSwap doesn’t hold your funds when you trade: **you have 100% ownership of your own crypto**. ## Earn > Earn CAKE and other tokens for free with super high interest rates. ### Earn tokens with Syrup Pools Stake CAKE, earn free tokens. It’s really that easy.\ CAKE holders right now are earning tens of millions of USD worth of free tokens each week from major projects. New projects join the party frequently, so you can earn more, for even longer. ### Earn CAKE with Yield Farms Stake LP tokens, earn CAKE. You take on a little more exposure to market fluctuations than with the Syrup Pools, but can earn higher APR to offset the risk. ### Earn Trading Fees No farm? No problem. Even if your trading pair isn’t supported on the Farms page, you can still earn trading fees when you stake your tokens in Liquidity Pools (LPs). ## Win > PancakeSwap makes making money fun. ### Lottery **Millions of dollars** regularly go up for grabs on the PancakeSwap Lottery.\ Join as many as **11,000 daily players** for your chance to win big! ### Prediction Predict whether BNB, BTC, or ETH price will rise or fall. New rounds every 5 minutes! ## Is PancakeSwap safe? ### See for yourself: Check out these PancakeSwap security audits [here](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/audits). ### Transparent: * We’re built on open-source software: our site and all our Smart Contracts are publicly visible for maximum transparency. * Our contracts are verified on BscScan so you know that what you see is what you get: [1](https://bscscan.com/address/0x10ED43C718714eb63d5aA57B78B54704E256024E) [2](https://bscscan.com/address/0x73feaa1ee314f8c655e354234017be2193c9e24e#code) [3](https://bscscan.com/address/0xbcfccbde45ce874adcb698cc183debcf17952812) [4](https://bscscan.com/address/0x1b96b92314c44b159149f7e0303511fb2fc4774f#code) [5](https://bscscan.com/address/0x92E8CeB7eAeD69fB6E4d9dA43F605D2610214E68) ### Security best practices: * The chefs use multisig for all contracts. * Our contracts’ time-locks give you peace of mind. **Sounds like fun?**\ **Then get flipping!** 🐰 🥞 *** # How-to Guides # Get Started (BSC) Using anything new can be a bit of a challenge.

Without a wallet, you won’t be able to: * **Swap tokens** on Solana * **Provide liquidity** to PancakeSwap’s **V3 Pools** (our capital-efficient, concentrated liquidity model) * Interact with any dApp or store tokens on Solana *** ### 2. **Wallet Setup Essentials (Security First!)** Crypto wallets give you full control over your assets — but with great power comes great responsibility. Keep your wallet safe by following these best practices: | ✅ Do’s | ❌ Don’ts | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | ✅ **Download from official sources** (app stores, verified websites) | ❌ Don’t install from random links or DMs | | ✅ **Follow the setup instructions** carefully | ❌ Don’t rush or skip the backup process | | ✅ **Back up your recovery phrase** and store it offline | ❌ Don’t screenshot or store it on your phone or computer | | ✅ **Keep your phrase private** — it's your only way to recover access | ❌ Never share it, even if someone claims to be "support" | | ✅ Only enter your recovery phrase **inside the wallet app** | ❌ Never input it into websites, popups, or other apps | > 🧠 Your recovery phrase = access to your wallet *** ### 3. **Choosing Your Wallet: Mobile vs. Desktop** Not sure which type of wallet to use? Here’s a quick breakdown of mobile vs. desktop/web wallets so you can choose what fits your style: | Feature | **Mobile Wallets** | **Browser/Desktop Wallets** | | --------------- | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | **Use case** | Swap & track on-the-go | Best for multitasking or deep dApp use | | **Ease of use** | Intuitive, beginner-friendly | Lightweight extensions, quick access | | **Security** | Depends on phone security | Easier hardware wallet integration | | **Convenience** | All-in-one app | More manual, but powerful | | **Best for...** | Casual users, mobile-first traders | Desktop users, more advanced flows | > 📱 Mobile wallets can offer a smoother experience for trading, managing portfolios, and browsing NFTs — all from your phone. *** ### 4. **Recommended Solana Wallets** > ⚠️ Note: These are some Solana-compatible wallets based on current ecosystem adoption. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research). #### ✅ **Multi-Platform Wallets (Mobile & Desktop)** Some popular wallets that you may use for the Solana ecosystem (not limited to): * Phantom: * Solflare: Both Phantom and Solflare are available on: * **iOS & Android apps** * **Web Browser extensions** *** #### 🔌 **WalletConnect-Compatible Options** Using **WalletConnect**, you can connect other wallets to PancakeSwap on Solana — directly from desktop or mobile: * **Binance Wallet** * **OKX Wallet** * **Jupiter Wallet** * **Backpack,** and more > You’ll see a full list of supported wallets when connecting on the PancakeSwap UI via WalletConnect. *** ### 5. **General Wallet Setup Steps (Quick Guide)** No matter which wallet you choose, the process is generally similar: 1. **Download** the wallet app or browser extension from its **official source** 2. Launch the app and tap **“Create a new wallet”** * (Or select **“Import”** if you already have one) 3. Set a strong **password or PIN** (if required) 4. You’ll be shown a **recovery phrase** (12 or 24 words) — → **Write it down and store it somewhere safe, offline** 5. **Confirm your recovery phrase** to complete setup 6. **Fund your wallet with SOL** → You’ll need **SOL** to pay for gas fees when swapping or adding liquidity on PancakeSwap *** > Why SOL? > > SOL is the **native token of the Solana blockchain** — it’s used to pay for transaction fees. > > Before you can interact with PancakeSwap, you’ll need to hold some SOL in your wallet. You can: * Buy SOL on a centralised exchange and transfer it in * Or bridge assets to Solana using a cross-chain bridge at [pancakeswap.finance/bridge](https://pancakeswap.finance/bridge) View here to see how to [Get SOL](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/get-started-sol/get-sol) *** ### Ready for the Next Step? Once your wallet is set up and funded with SOL, you’re ready to: * **Swap tokens** using PancakeSwap on Solana: * **Add liquidity to V3 Pools** and start earning: > 💡 What are V3 Pools? > > PancakeSwap V3 uses a **concentrated liquidity** model, designed to maximise capital efficiency. > > Want to learn more? Check out the [Liquidity Pools](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/earn/pancakeswap-pools) section. # Get SOL / CAKE on SOL ### 1. **Why You Need SOL** SOL is the **native token** of the Solana blockchain. You’ll need it to: * **Pay gas fees** for any transaction (swaps, adding liquidity etc.) * **Create and manage V3 positions** on PancakeSwap * **Interact with any Solana dApp** Think of SOL as the "fuel" that powers all actions on the Solana network — just like ETH on Ethereum or BNB on BNB Smart Chain. Without SOL in your wallet, you won’t be able to do anything on-chain, even if you already hold other tokens. *** ### 2. **Main Ways to Get SOL** There are **four main ways** to get SOL, depending on your starting point and preferences. | Method | Best for | Requires a Wallet? | Notes | | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | **Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)** | Beginners or users buying with fiat | ✅ Yes (to access dApps) | Most common entry point | | **PancakeSwap (DEX)** | DeFi-native users with tokens already on Solana | ✅ Yes | Swap into SOL directly | | **Buy via Wallet App** | Mobile-first users | ✅ Yes | Some wallets offer in-app purchases | | **Bridge from Another Chain** | Users with funds on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, etc. | ✅ Yes | Bring assets over to Solana | Let’s go through them: #### I. **Buy SOL from a Centralised Exchange (CEX)** If you're new to crypto or don’t yet have a wallet, buying SOL from a **major exchange** is the most straightforward option. #### ✅ What you do: 1. **Create an account** on a centralised exchange (e.g., Binance). 2. **Buy SOL** using fiat (USD, EUR, etc.) or other cryptocurrencies. 3. **Withdraw SOL** to your **self-custodial Solana wallet** (e.g. Phantom) to interact with dApps like PancakeSwap. *** #### II. **Swap for SOL / CAKE on PancakeSwap (DEX)** Already using Solana? If you have tokens like **USDC** or **USDT** on the Solana network, you can swap them directly for SOL / CAKE using **PancakeSwap**. {% hint style="success" %} $**CAKE is now live on Solana - Token Address:** `4qQeZ5LwSz6HuupUu8jCtgXyW1mYQcNbFAW1sWZp89HL` {% endhint %} #### ✅ What you do: * Connect your wallet on Solana to PancakeSwap. * Go to the **Swap** page. * Swap your Solana-based token into SOL. > 🧠 Note: You’ll still need a small amount of SOL to pay for the swap itself. If you have zero SOL, use the CEX or bridge method first. *** #### III. **Buy SOL Directly From a Wallet App** Some wallets support **in-app crypto purchases** using Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card, or other providers like MoonPay. #### ✅ What you do: 1. Open your wallet. 2. Tap "Buy" or "Buy Crypto". 3. Select **SOL**. 4. Choose your payment method and follow the steps. This is a user-friendly option for mobile-first users who want to skip setting up an exchange account. *** #### IV. **Bridge SOL / CAKE from Another Blockchain** Already have tokens on a different chain like **BNB Chain**, **Ethereum**, or **Base**? You can bring funds over to Solana using **bridging platforms**. #### ✅ What you do: 1. Visit Pancakeswap's bridging site or 3rd party bridging sites like: 2. Select your token and the chain you’re sending from. 3. Choose **Solana** as your destination. 4. Complete the bridge and receive the bridged token in your Solana wallet. 5. Swap that token into **SOL** using PancakeSwap. > 💡 Tips > > 1. CAKE is now available for direct bridging via Stargate, LayerZero and deBridge > 2. You’ll need SOL to cover gas fees once you're on Solana. If you bridged USDC or similar, use PancakeSwap to convert a portion into SOL. *** ### 3. **Final Tip** Every Solana action — from swapping to providing liquidity — **requires SOL for gas**. Always keep a little SOL in your wallet after each transaction to avoid getting stuck. # Solana FAQ ### V3 Pools – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) #### 1. What fee tiers are available? **Supported Fee Tiers:**\ The following fee tiers are available for V3 (concentrated liquidity) pools: `0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.18%, 0.2%, 0.25%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%` **Fee Distribution (applies to all fee tiers):** * 84% to liquidity providers (LPs) * 16% to the protocol * 8% is burned * 8% goes to the protocol treasury #### 2. Can anyone create a pool? Yes. Pool creation is permissionless, with a few exceptions: * Only one pool can exist for a given **token pair + fee tier** combination (e.g. only one SOL<> USDC 0.1% pool can exist at one time) * Only **SPL tokens** and selected **Token-2022** tokens are supported at this time. #### 3. How long does it take for a newly created pool to appear? * Pools typically appear in the pool list approximately **5 minutes** after creation. * If it doesn't appear: * Use the **search bar** to locate it manually. * Pools may be filtered from the list due to **low TVL**. #### 4. Why does my pool’s APR or TVL still show as zero? This is expected right after a new pool is created: * APR and TVL data will only populate once **at least one swap** has occurred in the pool. * After a swap, these metrics will begin displaying within approximately **15 minutes**. #### 5. How do I add a custom token to create a pool? To add a new token: * In the pool creation interface, open the token selector.
* Paste the token’s address into the search bar.
* Click **"Add Token"**.
* The token will now be searchable in the list.
* To manage tokens: * Click **"View Token List"**. * Toggle different lists on or off, including the **User Added Token List**, which includes any manually added tokens.
#### 6. Why does my first transaction on Solana seem more expensive? Solana uses **Associated Token Accounts (ATAs)** to manage token balances for each wallet. When interacting with a token for the first time, your wallet must create an ATA, which incurs an initial one-time cost (paid in SOL). * This ATA creation fee is required by the Solana protocol and is not specific to PancakeSwap. * If the ATA is later closed, the **original SOL used can be refunded** back to your wallet. # Get Started (Monad) Using anything new can be a bit of a challenge.

You’ll need it to: * **Pay gas fees** for any transaction (swaps, adding liquidity etc.) * **Create and manage liquidity positions** on PancakeSwap * **Interact with any Monad dApp** *** ### 2. **Main Ways to Get MON** There are **four main ways** to get MON, depending on your starting point and preferences. | Method | Best for | Requires a Wallet? | Notes | | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | **Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)** | Beginners or users buying with fiat | ✅ Yes (to access dApps) | Most common entry point | | **PancakeSwap (DEX)** | DeFi-native users with tokens already on Monad | ✅ Yes | Swap into MON directly | | **Buy via Wallet App** | Mobile-first users | ✅ Yes | Some wallets offer in-app purchases | | **Bridge from Another Chain** | Users with funds on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, etc. | ✅ Yes | Bring assets over to Monad | Let’s go through them: #### I. **Buy MON from a Centralised Exchange (CEX)** If you're new to crypto or don’t yet have a wallet, buying MON from a **major exchange** is the most straightforward option. #### ✅ What you do: 1. **Create an account** on a centralised exchange (e.g., Binance). 2. **Buy MON** using fiat (USD, EUR, etc.) or other cryptocurrencies. 3. **Withdraw MON** to your **self-custodial Monad wallet** to interact with dApps like PancakeSwap. *** #### II. **Swap for MON on PancakeSwap (DEX)** Already using Monad? If you have tokens like **USDC** or **USDT** on the Monad network, you can swap them directly for MON using **PancakeSwap**. #### ✅ What you do: * Connect your wallet on Monad to PancakeSwap. * Go to the **Swap** page. * Swap your Monad-based token into MON. > 🧠 Note: You’ll still need a small amount of MON to pay for the swap itself. If you have zero MON, use the CEX or bridge method first. *** #### III. **Buy MON Directly From a Wallet App** Some wallets support **in-app crypto purchases** using Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit card, or other providers like MoonPay. #### ✅ What you do: 1. Open your wallet. 2. Tap "Buy" or "Buy Crypto". 3. Select **MON**. 4. Choose your payment method and follow the steps. This is a user-friendly option for mobile-first users who want to skip setting up an exchange account. *** #### IV. **Bridge MON from Another Blockchain** Already have tokens on a different chain like **BNB Chain**, **Ethereum**, or **Base**? You can bring funds over to Solana using **bridging platforms**. #### ✅ What you do: 1. Visit 2. Select your token and the chain you’re sending from. 3. Choose **Monad** as your destination. 4. Complete the bridge and receive the bridged token in your Monad wallet. 5. Swap that token into **MON** using PancakeSwap. *** ### 3. **Final Tip** Every Monad action — from swapping to providing liquidity — **requires MON for gas**. Always keep a little MON in your wallet after each transaction to avoid getting stuck. # Monad FAQ #### 1. What fee tiers are available on PancakeSwap liquidity pools? **Supported Fee Tiers:** * The following fee tiers are available for V3 (concentrated liquidity) pools: `0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%, 1%` * For V2 pools only 0.25% fee tier pools are supported #### 2. Can anyone create a pool? Yes. Pool creation is permissionless, with a few exceptions: * Only one pool can exist for a given **token pair + fee tier** combination (e.g. only one WMON <> USDC 0.05% pool can exist at one time) #### 3. How long does it take for a newly created pool to appear? * Pools typically appear in the pool list approximately **5 minutes** after creation. * If it doesn't appear: * Use the **search bar** to locate it manually. * Pools may be filtered from the list due to **low TVL**. #### 4. Why does my pool’s APR or TVL still show as zero? This is expected right after a new pool is created: * APR and TVL data will only populate once **at least one swap** has occurred in the pool. * After a swap, these metrics will begin displaying within approximately **15 minutes**. #### **5. Why do my transactions sometimes fail if my wallet has less than 10 MON?** Monad has a rule that every account should keep a **minimum safety buffer of 10 MON**. If your balance is low and you send too many transactions too quickly, the network may **stop accepting new ones**. #### **6. Why do the first 1–2 transactions work, but the next ones fail?** Monad processes blocks using a slightly “behind” view of your balance. So: * Your **first** transaction is usually fine. * Your **second** might also go through. * But if you send **multiple transactions within a short time**, the network thinks you might not have enough MON to pay all the gas fees. So it **blocks** the next transaction. This is normal and part of the safety system. #### **7. Why does it feel stricter on smart accounts (contract wallets)?** Smart accounts follow **stricter rules**: * They must **always** keep at least **10 MON** while running contract code. * If your smart account is below 10 MON, the transaction can **revert immediately**, even if EOAs still work for a couple of tx. This is why smart-account users see failures sooner. #### **8. Does this mean I can’t use Monad with less than 10 MON?** You *can* still use it, especially with a normal EOA — but: * Don’t send several transactions back-to-back. * Wait a few blocks between transactions. * Keep a little MON in your wallet to avoid issues. #### **9. How do I avoid these failures?** Simple tips: * Keep **10 MON or more** in your wallet if possible. * If you’re low on MON, **space out your transactions** (don’t spam them). * Smart-account users should keep a **bit more than 10 MON**, since contract calls use extra gas. # Get Started (Aptos) Using anything new can be a bit of a challenge.

Check out [our wallet guide](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/get-started-aptos/wallet-guide) to download and set up your wallet for Aptos. ### Showing "Price Impact Too High" when swapping coins This is likely due to bad network connections to blockchain nodes. Refresh the page, and check your network connection. If the error persists, it means the pair of coins you are trying to swap has insufficient liquidity for the amount you are trying to swap. The liquidity for major coins will slowly and steadily be improved over time, and the liquidity issue will likely be solved when our Aptos Farms are deployed. (SOON!) ### I couldn't find the coin I wanted to swap The default list on Aptos Swap only shows coins from well-known projects with a sufficient amount of liquidity. If you want to swap other coins that are not on the default list, import them using their coin address. ### Why I can’t trade CAKE on Aptos Swap? *updated on 2022-12-13* CAKE token/coin is now live on Aptos. Check out our [CAKE bridging guide](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/get-started-aptos/cake-bridging-guide) to learn more about bridging CAKE tokens between Aptos and BNB Smart Chain. ### Do I need to stake CAKE on Aptos to participate in Aptos IFOs? PancakeSwap IFO has not yet been deployed on Aptos. (SOON!) Keep staking your CAKE, and stay tuned for more news. ## CAKE Bridging {% hint style="info" %} This document has been migrated [here](/bridge/faq) {% endhint %} # V3/V2 Migration Here are some useful documents for the migration of Exchange V3 and Farm V3. # How to migrate Migrate your liquidity and farm stakings to the new PancakeSwap Exchange and Farm V3
In April 2023, PancakeSwap announced V3 for Exchange and Farms. Some farming pairs will need to be migrated to keep earning staking rewards. Relax, like last time, it should be smooth. ### But wait! Do I need to migrate? You need to migrate if you meet the following conditions: **Farming on the following V2 PancakeSwap Farms:** * BNB Chain: * CAKE-BNB * CAKE-BUSD * CAKE-USDT * BUSD-BNB * USDT-BNB * BTCB-BUSD * BTCB-USDT * BTCB-ETH * BTCB-BNB * ETH-BNB * ETH-USDC * USDC-USDT * BUSD-USDC * BUSD-USDT * Ethereum: * ETH-USDC * ETH-USDT * WBTC-ETH The list will likely grow eventually. The easiest way to check the updated list is to visit and connect your wallet **Providing V2 liquidity, and meeting the following conditions:** * The majority of the liquidity for the token pair has been migrated to V3 - Please check the PancakeSwap Info page, or the website or social channels of the token project for more detail. * The project team of that token has announced the liquidity will be migrated to V3 - Please check the individual project websites or social channels for more detail. ### How to migrate
Look for the V3 migration banner on the Liquidity or Farm page. Then click “Proceed” to enter the migration helper page. **Step 1 - Unstake from V2 and/or StableSwap farms**
In step 1, the helper will list all the PancakeSwap V2 or StableSwap farms that require migrations. Click each of the “Unstake All” buttons to unstake all staked LP tokens from farms. Your wallet will ask for confirmation. When all the listed farms are unstaked, click “Next Steps” to proceed. **Step 2 - Remove liquidity from Exchange V2 or StableSwap**
In step 2, the helper will list all the liquidity positions that can be migrated to V3 with CAKE yield farming. Click each of the "Remove" buttons to bring up the remove liquidity modal with 100% selected. Then click “Enable”, sign the transaction in your wallet, and click “Remove”. Your wallet will ask for confirmation. {% hint style="info" %} Even though some other project tokens are also migrating to V3, they will not appear in the list. Please check the individual project websites or social channels for more detail. And use the [Liquidity](https://pancakeswap.finance/liquidity) page to migrate manually. {% endhint %} **Step 3 - Get ready for V3**
No action is needed. Simply read and make sure you are familiar with how V3 works and how to provide liquidity in V3. **Step 4 - Add V3 liquidity** ![](/files/bSQnQYcKaIb5rcYliHy4) In this step, you will add your liquidity to the new Exchange V3. Click “Add Liquidity”. Your previously removed V2 liquidity will show up in the list, click “Add” to bring up the interface for adding V3 liquidity. If you don’t see the pair you want to add, click “Add Other Pairs” instead and choose the two tokens manually. For a more detailed tutorial on how to provide liquidity in V3, read [here](/earn/pancakeswap-pools/liquidity-guide). If you have questions while providing liquidity in V3, check here for [FAQ](/trade/trading-faq/swap-faq). {% hint style="warning" %} Please be aware that in Exchange V3, only active (in-range) liquidity positions will earn trading fee rewards. Please be cautious while setting the price range for the liquidity position. {% endhint %} **Step 5 - Stake in V3 farms**
In this step, you will stake your freshly added V3 liquidity positions to the new V3 farms to start earning CAKE rewards! Click each of the “Stake” buttons on the position to stake them into farms. Your wallet will ask for confirmation. For a more detailed tutorial on how to farm in V3, read [here](/earn/yield-farming/how-to-use-farms#farm-v3). If you have questions while staking liquidity in V3 farms, check here for [FAQ](/earn/earn-faq/farming-faq). {% hint style="warning" %} Please be aware that in Farm V3, only active (in-range) liquidity positions will earn CAKE rewards. Please be cautious while setting the price range for the liquidity position. {% endhint %} **Finished** That's it. You've migrated your farm staking and liquidity to the new PancakeSwap V3! # How v3 APR is calculated {% hint style="info" %} In V3 Liquidity and Farms, with the new non-fungible liquidity and customizable price range ability. Each LP position will have its own LP fee and CAKE farming APR. {% endhint %} The total APR is combined by the LP fee APR and CAKE reward APR ### LP fee Theoretically speaking, given a price range and liquidity user about to add, we can estimate the expected future 7 days fee as following $$ fee\_{next7d} = fee\_{in} \frac{\Delta{L}}{L\_{in} + \Delta{L}} $$ * $$fee\_{in}$$ : Fee amount accrued in the user specified price range in last 7 days * $$L\_{in}$$: Current liquidity in the user specified price range * $$\Delta{L}$$: Liquidity user want to add to the price range #### Fee in range For $$fee\_{in}$$, we use the historical trading volume data, fee tier and historical price data to estimate the price in range $$fee\_{in} = f\_tV\_{7d}\frac{T\_{in}}{T\_{7d}}$$ * $$f\_t$$: Fee tier * $$V\_{7d}$$: Total trading volume of last 7 days * $$T\_{in}$$: Duration, measured in seconds, of prices staying within the price range in the past 7 days * $$T\_{7d}$$: 7 days measured in seconds ### Cake APR #### Pool Allocation The total reward cake per second in MC v3 using upkeep and can be derived by `latestPeriodCakePerSecond` `cakePerSecond = lastestPeriodCakePerSecond / 1e12 / 1e18` In each pool, we can use `poolInfo` to get the `poolWeight` by dividing `poolInfo.allocPoint / totalAllocPoint` #### Global Cake APR Global APR calculated using the total amount of active & staked liquidity with the pool CAKE reward emissions. `APR (global) = (cakePerSecond * 31536000) / (totalAllocPoint / pool.allocPoint) * 100 * cakeUSD / totalStakedLiquidityUSD` `totalStakedLiquidityUSD` represents the current pool active staked liquidity in USD, composing by all the position ticks in range staked in MasterChef v3. #### Position Cake APR APRs for individual positions may vary depend on their price range settings. $$ ARP\_p = {\frac{USD\_{r}}{USD\_{p}}} {\frac{L\_{p}}{L\_{lm}}} $$ * $$USD\_r$$: CAKE reward earn USD per year in pool * $$USD\_p$$: Total USD value in position * $$L\_{p}$$: Position liquidity * $$L\_{lm}$$: Total staking liquidity which tracked by LMPool # FAQ
### **Is there a deadline for the migration?** No You will be able to unstake from V2 farms at any time. You will be able to remove liquidity from V2 at any time. However, Chefs will gradually migrate the CAKE reward emissions from those selected V2 farms to their corresponding V3 farms. To continue earning CAKE rewards. We would recommend that you complete the migrations as early as possible.

If you are reading this, the migration is likely started already. Visit for more details. ### I can’t find the pair I’m staking Some V2 farms and liquidity will continue to operate in parallel with V3. Some V2 farms will not be migrated on day 1. If your staked farms do not appear in “Step 1”, they do not require to be migrated at the moment. If your V2 liquidity positions do not appear in “Step 2”, it is likely due to they have V2 farms running and do not require to be migrated at the moment. You can manually migrate your farm stakings and liquidity. Continue reading. ### Can I manually migrate my farm stakings or liquidity without using the migration helper? Yes. You can unstake LP tokens from V2 farms by going to the “Farms” page and looking for farms with the “V2” tag. You can use the “Staked only” toggle to filter farms you are currently staking. You can remove V2 liquidity by going to the “Liquidity” page and looking for positions with the “V2” tag. You can use the V2 tab to filter only V2 positions. For adding your liquidity to V3 and staking LP positions to V3, follow the standard V3 steps. For a detailed tutorial on how to add liquidity in V3, read [here](/earn/pancakeswap-pools/liquidity-guide). For a tutorial on how to farm in V3, read [here](/earn/yield-farming/how-to-use-farms). # V2 Migration Here are some useful documents for the migration of MasterChef v2 and CAKE staking pool. {% content-ref url="/pages/S1SjLh9q4aTnPix9O1T1" %} [MasterChef v2](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/v3-v2-migration/migration/masterchef-v2) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/gMY0Hvj1atvvNTz0SSG4" %} [CAKE Syrup Pool](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/v3-v2-migration/migration/cake-syrup-pool) {% endcontent-ref %} # Migrate Your Stakings Migrate your farms and pools staking to the new PancakeSwap MasterChef ![ICYDK: you are currently reading the "tutorial" mentioned in this banner](/files/2BCilhBO4CjME6N4NKO9) In order to keep earning staking rewards, you will need to migrate your farms and pools staking to the new MasterChef.

If you are currently using PancakeSwap MasterChef ([0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E](https://bscscan.com/address/0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E)), you will need to migrate to the new contract ([0xa5f8C5Dbd5F286960b9d90548680aE5ebFf07652](https://bscscan.com/address/0xa5f8C5Dbd5F286960b9d90548680aE5ebFf07652)). ### Overview #### Deposit If you are currently using the `enterStaking(uint256 _amount)` on the current PancakeSwap MasterChef. You need to migrate to the new CAKE pool contract. Check out the related documentation [here](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/v3-v2-migration/migration/cake-syrup-pool). The deposit function for the farm pools is unchanged. However, you will need to upgrade the MasterChef address and the `pid` , check out the [list of farms](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/v3-v2-migration/migration/masterchef-v2/list-of-farms) for the list of new `pids` on MasterChef v2. #### Pool types MasterChef v2 have 2 types of pool: Regular farm pools and Special farm pools, which you can use `poolInfo(_pid).isRegular` to query the pool type. They share a different `totalAllocPoint`, making them two sets of independent pools. Special farm pools: only whitelisted addresses can deposit. They are usually utilized by internal PancakeSwap products for rewards distributions. Regular farm pools: the regular LP tokens farms. For example CAKE-BNB, BNB-BUSD, etc… #### Withdraw If you are currently using the `leaveStaking(uint256 _amount)` on the current PancakeSwap MasterChef. You need to migrate to the new CAKE pool contract. Check out the related documentation [here](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/v3-v2-migration/migration/cake-syrup-pool). The withdraw function for the farm pools is unchanged. However, you will need to update the MasterChef address and the `pid` , check out the [list of farms](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/how-to-guides/v3-v2-migration/migration/masterchef-v2/list-of-farms) for the list of new `pids` on MasterChef v2. #### Staking Balance Use `userInfo[_pid][_user].amount` to query the staking balance. #### Staking Token Note that the new `PoolInfo` struct **does not** contain the lp token address field, you will need to use `lpToken(_pid)` to query any given pool's staking token. #### Total Staking Shares/Amount Use `lpToken.balanceOf(MasterChef.address)` to get the total staking amount for any given farm pool. However, In MasterChef v2, the users' share can be boosted. Therefore, rewards are calculated using a new `totalBoostedShare` field in `PoolInfo` as each pool’s total shares. For example, if pool 0 has 2 users, user1 stake 100 LPs (without boost), user2 stake 100 (with `boostMultiplier` being 1.05), then the `totalBoostedShare` will become 205. Resulting in user2 gaining more rewards. #### CakePerBlock You can use `cakePerBlock(bool _isRegular)` to query the CAKE reward per block that goes to all the PancakeSwap farms. ### Mainnet Contract Address **Contract name:** MasterChef v2\ **Contract address:** `0xa5f8C5Dbd5F286960b9d90548680aE5ebFf07652` [View the PancakeSwap: Main Staking Contract v2 on BscScan.](https://bscscan.com/address/0xa5f8C5Dbd5F286960b9d90548680aE5ebFf07652) ### Testnet Environment You can use the following testnet environment to test the integration of your project with the new PancakeSwap MasterChef v2.

# CAKE Syrup Pool Migrate to new CAKE Syrup Pool The new CakePool is a new $CAKE staking contract built based on the CakeVault (the current auto CAKE pool) and designed to work with PancakeSwap MasterChef v2 to provide "stake $CAKE, earn $CAKE" functionality while offering more features such as fixed-term staking. The current Manual CAKE pool will be retired after the migration. The new CakePool will use a dummy token to harvest $CAKE from MasterChef v2 and reward them to users who are staking $CAKE. Users who lock their $CAKE for longer will receive a more significant number of shares (boosted linearly based on duration), therefore, enjoy a higher yield. ### Do I need to migrate? If you are currently using `enterStaking` and `leaveStaking` on the PancakeSwap MasterChef ([0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E](https://bscscan.com/address/0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E)), you will need to migrate to the new contract. ### No more compounding With the new CakePool, rewards are distributed proportionally to all pool users based on shares. Similar to “interest-bearing tokens” or other share-based models, users’ staking balance will grow when more rewards are being put into the pool. Users don’t need to harvest and compound their rewards. ### Fees In the new CakePool, all flexible staking users will be subjected to two sets of fees. #### Fee on flexible staking rewards A 2% fee will apply to all the rewards generated by flexible staking. The amount of the fee will be calculated and realized upon the next deposit or withdrawal action, cut from users’ shares. To query the number of the unrealized performance fee, use `calculatePerformanceFee(address _user)`. #### Withdrawal fee A 0.1% withdrawal fee will apply to the unstaking amount if you withdraw within 72 hours of the last deposit action. The withdrawal fee is cut from the final withdrawal amount before the CAKE transfer. ### Overview #### Deposit If you are currently using the `enterStaking(uint256 _amount)` on the current PancakeSwap MasterChef. You need to migrate to `deposit(uint256 _amount, uint256 _lockDuration)`. For flexible staking, simply use “0” as `_lockDuration`. #### Staking Balance and Fees ``` Global variables: CakePoolContract // CAKE pool contract struct UserInfo { uint256 shares; // number of shares for a user. uint256 lastDepositedTime; // timestamp of the last deposit action uint256 cakeAtLastUserAction; // number of CAKE at the last user action uint256 lastUserActionTime; // timestamp of the last user action uint256 lockStartTime; // timestamp of the start of the lock. uint256 lockEndTime; // timestamp of the end of the lock. uint256 userBoostedShare; // the amount of shares boosted/added to the user. bool locked; // status of the lock uint256 lockedAmount; // number of CAKE locked at the start of the lock period. } ``` **CAKE staking amount (before subtracting all the fees)** ``` const userInfo. = await CakePoolContract.userInfo(address); const PricePerFullShare = await CakePoolContract.getPricePerFullShare(); const cakeAmount = userInfo.shares * PricePerFullShare / 1e18 - userInfo.userBoostedShare ; // cake amount (wei), in flexible staking, userInfo.userBoostedShare should be 0. ``` **Performance Fee** Query from contract: ``` const performanceFeeAmount = await CakePoolContract.calculatePerformanceFee(address); ``` Calculate it manually: ``` async function calculatePerformanceFeeAmount(_user:address){ const user = await CakePoolContract.userInfo(address); const isFreeFee = await CakePoolContract.freeFeeUsers(_user); //normal free fee users are some special contracts , so you can set default false if(user.shares > 0 && !user.locked && !isFreeFee){ const PricePerFullShare = await CakePoolContract.getPricePerFullShare(); uint256 totalAmount = user.shares * PricePerFullShare / 1e18; uint256 earnAmount = totalAmount - user.cakeAtLastUserAction; uint256 performanceFee = await CakePoolContract.performanceFee(); uint256 currentPerformanceFee = (earnAmount * performanceFee) / 10000; return currentPerformanceFee; } return 0; } ``` **Overdue Fee: (only applies to locked staking)** Query from contract: ``` const overdueFeeAmount = await CakePoolContract.calculateOverdueFee(address); ``` Calculate it manually: ``` async function calculateOverdueFee(_user:address){ const user = await CakePoolContract.userInfo(address); const isFreeFee = await CakePoolContract.freeFeeUsers(_user); //normal free fee users are some special contracts , so you can set default false const UNLOCK_FREE_DURATION = 1 week seconds (or you can get from smart contract, const UNLOCK_FREE_DURATION = await CakePoolContract.UNLOCK_FREE_DURATION()) const DURATION_FACTOR_OVERDUE = 180 * 24 * 3600; // 180 days, in order to calculate overdue fee. you can get it from contract too. if ( user.shares > 0 && user.locked && !isFreeFee && ((user.lockEndTime + UNLOCK_FREE_DURATION) < block.timestamp) ) { const PricePerFullShare = await CakePoolContract.getPricePerFullShare(); uint256 currentAmount = user.shares * PricePerFullShare / 1e18 - user.userBoostedShare; uint256 earnAmount = currentAmount - user.lockedAmount; uint256 overdueDuration = block.timestamp - user.lockEndTime - UNLOCK_FREE_DURATION; // you can use UTC timestamp to replace current block.timestamp. if (overdueDuration > DURATION_FACTOR_OVERDUE) { overdueDuration = DURATION_FACTOR_OVERDUE; } // Rates are calculated based on the user's overdue duration. uint256 overdueWeight = (overdueDuration * overdueFee) / DURATION_FACTOR_OVERDUE; uint256 currentOverdueFee = (earnAmount * overdueWeight) / PRECISION_FACTOR; return currentOverdueFee; } return 0; } ``` **Withdraw Fee** ``` const user = await CakePoolContract.userInfo(address); const withdrawFee = await CakePoolContract.withdrawFee(); const isFreeFee = await CakePoolContract.freeFeeUsers(_user); //normal free fee users are some special contracts , so you can set default false let WithdrawFeeAmount = 0; // you can use UTC timestamp to replace current block.timestamp. // withdrawFeePeriod = 72 * 3600 (S) // _amount : withdraw amount if (!isFreeFee && (block.timestamp < user.lastDepositedTime + withdrawFeePeriod)) { WithdrawFeeAmount = _amount * withdrawFee; } ``` **CAKE staking amount (after subtracting all the fees)** ``` const user = await CakePoolContract.userInfo(address); const cakeAmountWithoutFee = cakeAmount - (!user.locked ? performanceFeeAmount : overdueFeeAmount) - withdrawFeeAmount ``` #### Pending Rewards Please note that the new pool does not require any compounding. Rewards are being put into your staking balance automatically. However, you can query the number of CAKE earned since the last action, using the difference between the current staking balance (mentioned above), and the number from `userInfo.cakeAtLastUserAction`. #### Withdraw If you are using the `leaveStaking(uint256 _amount)` method on the current PancakeSwap MasterChef. You need to migrate to `withdraw(uint256 _shares)`. When doing flexible staking. Please note that upon withdrawing, the pending reward fees will be calculated and cut from the number of users’ shares, the actual number of shares being withdrawn will be re-calibrated, based on the percentage of the shares you are withdrawing against the total shares you have. See the example below: ``` // the number of CAKE being withdrawn can be calculated by: withdrawPercentage = _sharesToWithdraw / userInfo.shares stakingBalance = userInfo.shares * PricePerFullShare / 1e18 - userInfo.userBoostedShare - !userInfo.locked ? calculatePerformanceFee(_userAddress) : calculateOverdueFee(_userAddress) finalWithdrawAmount = withdrawPercentage * stakingBalance ``` Please note that the final receiving amount will be affected by withdraw fee. If your function relies crucially on the final number of CAKE being withdrawn, we recommend calculating that using the difference in CAKE balance before and after the withdrawal action: ``` cakeBalPrev = CAKE.balanceOf(address(this)) CakePool.withdraw(_sharesToWithdraw) cakeBalNew = CAKE.balanceOf(address(this)) cakeWithdrawn = cakeBalNew - cakeBalPrev ``` Or, calculate and subtract the withdraw fee when estimating the amount. #### How to calculate the CAKE per block distributed to the new CAKE pool? Previously, the manual CAKE pool had a fixed 10 CAKE/block emission. After migrating to MasterChef v2 and the new CAKE pool, we can now adjust its emissions. And here's how you can calculate the CAKE per block distributed to the new CAKE pool: `cakePerBlockToPool = MasterChef.cakePerBlock(false) * (cakePool.allocPoint / MasterChef.totalSpecialAllocPoint)` You can query the `cakePool.allocPoint` using `MasterChef.poolInfo(0)` ### **Mainnet Contract Address** **Contract name:** CakePool\ **Contract address:** `0x45c54210128a065de780C4B0Df3d16664f7f859e` [View the PancakeSwap: Cake Pool Contract on BscScan.](https://bscscan.com/address/0x45c54210128a065de780C4B0Df3d16664f7f859e) ### **Testnet Environment** You can use the following testnet environment to test the integration of your project with the new PancakeSwap CAKE Pool.

Our **AMMs** and **PCSX** are the rails every trade settles against; our **aggregator** wins the customer with the best price anywhere and routes that demand back into our own liquidity. More flow deepens liquidity, which sharpens execution, which wins more users — and the revenue it generates buys back and burns **CAKE**, tying the token directly to real usage. Increasingly, the traders won't even be human: as AI agents become crypto's newest economic actors, we intend to be the liquidity layer they plug into. Liquidity in, supply out. *** #### Aggregator — owning the customer relationship Best price in crypto, every time, on one surface across every chain — then we route that demand into our own rails. * **Now:** best-price routing across PancakeSwap + external venues; multichain (BNB, ETH, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, and more); sub-second quotes on our own infra * **Next:** cross-chain aggregated swaps; broader venue and chain coverage #### AMM — the foundation of liquidity PancakeSwap Infinity makes our AMM the most extensible, capital-efficient liquidity primitive in DeFi. * **Now:** more v4 hooks, e.g. dynamic fees hooks, stableswap hooks * **Next:** a growing ecosystem of hooks; more chains; advanced LP tooling #### PCSX — the rail specifically built for RWA Intent-based settlement that connects users to professional market makers, covering fills the pool model can't. * **Now:** RFQ fills with pro market makers; powering tokenized RWAs * **Next:** deeper MM network; cross-chain settlement #### Perps — pro-grade derivatives onchain A derivatives venue that rivals any platform, without giving up self-custody. * **Now:** advanced order types (limit, stop, TP/SL); AI copilot for one-click strategies; precise position management, loss rebate mechanisms * **Next:** advanced trader tooling, more gamified features #### Agentic — trading that acts for you The next interface isn't a screen, it's an agent. We're evolving from assisting trades to executing them — and opening our rails to the AI agents becoming crypto's newest traders. * **Now:** AI skills, AI copilot that turns intent into one-click strategies * **Next:** autonomous agents that execute and rebalance on your behalf; natural-language trading; agent-accessible APIs so third-party AI routes its flow through our liquidity #### Tokenized Stock — real-world markets on our rails A dedicated EVM home for trading tokenized equities, settling through our own liquidity. * **Now:** dedicated stock terminal; live charts and on-chain data; expanding asset list * **Next:** more equities and RWAs; more chains; limit order and DCA #### Other optimizations The invisible work that compounds: faster flows, simpler onboarding, a stronger mobile experience, deeper multichain reach, and higher reliability at scale. *** *Crypto moves fast, and so do we — no fixed timelines, just a constant direction: become the universal liquidity layer of crypto, win the customer with the best execution anywhere, route the world's onchain trading (human and agent) through our rails, and return that value to CAKE.* # veCAKE Sunset As part of the [Tokenomics 3.0 upgrade](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting/proposal/0x79ef496c9737e48d9677a6e291ff2a549dee6729c9996398e453af8ecbf0ceb3), veCAKE and its connected products are being sunset. Here’s a breakdown of the **some main product areas** affected and when the changes will take effect: ## Which products are affected? 1. **veCAKE and Gauges Voting** * Starting **00:00 AM UTC April 23, 2025**, veCAKE and all gauge voting will be retired. * The final gauge voting will end on **00:00 AM UTC, April 23, 2025 (Epoch 37)** * Results from Epoch 37 will be executed in **Epoch 38 (April 25 – May 6)**. * **Gauges rewards**, including veCAKE Pool APR and Bribe APR, will continue to accrue **until May 7, 2025**. 2. **Yield farming** Boosts (from veCAKE) will be phased out across position managers, Syrup Pools, and farming activities between **April 24 and May 7, 2025**. 3. Revenue Sharing **5% Revenue Sharing** from trading fees will end on **00:00 UTC on May 7, 2025**. Funds that were previously allocated to revenue sharing will now be redirected to the **CAKE burn mechanism**, increasing the burn rate for these pools from **10% to 15%**. {% hint style="info" %} 🧭 **Note**: The PancakeSwap website will be updated progressively to reflect the full retirement of veCAKE-related features across the platform. {% endhint %} ## What actions do you need to take? {% hint style="info" %} Cake Redemption Guide: [Staked Cake Redemption](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/staked-cake-redemption) {% endhint %} 1. **Claim Rewards**: To earn rewards from the final **Epoch 38** (April 25–May 7, 2025), make sure **not to withdraw your CAKE before 00:00 AM UTC, May 7, 2025**. 2. **Redeem CAKE/veCAKE:** Users who have directly staked CAKE through the PancakeSwap interface have 6 months to redeem their staked CAKE and veCAKE, with the redemption **deadline set for October 23, 2025.**
For veCAKE linked to **veCAKE managers (e.g., Aster, StakeDAO, CakePie),** PancakeSwap will whitelist the delegator addresses for locker protocols that enable 1:1 redemptions.

# \[Archive] veCAKE Stake CAKE, Earn CAKE, and much more!
{% hint style="danger" %} \[ARCHIVED] veCAKE {% endhint %} veCAKE stands for vote-escrowed CAKE. veCAKE tokens serve a crucial role in PancakeSwap's governance, enabling you to actively participate in [PancakeSwap’s governance proposals](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting) and Gauges Voting system. This allows you to vote on broader governance proposals and influence the allocation of CAKE emissions within liquidity pools. Gauges Voting empowers veCAKE holders to shape the distribution of CAKE emissions across essential products like Farms on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Arbitrum at launch. By leveraging veCAKE, users directly influence how CAKE emissions are allocated within each pool, impacting specific liquidity pools and projects. The more veCAKE a pool accumulates through Gauges Voting, the higher the CAKE emissions allocated, leading to increased rewards for liquidity providers (LPs) during subsequent 14-day epochs. Lock CAKE for any durations from 1 week to 4 years to get veCAKE. Your veCAKE amount is based on the number of your locked CAKE and the duration you locked them for. {% content-ref url="/pages/4nGPFBymi9J71g6OmnO7" %} [What is veCAKE?](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/what-is-vecake) {% endcontent-ref %} Here are the guides for how to get veCAKE, either by creating a new position, or migrating from the CAKE staking pool: {% content-ref url="/pages/MmuUgGJKfAOKoXWI58z7" %} [How to get veCAKE?](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/how-to-get-vecake) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/BkGUKyw6vKcqdlsZQJjD" %} [Migrate from CAKE Pool](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/migrate-from-cake-pool) {% endcontent-ref %} Learn more about our veCAKE ecosystem partners (veCAKE Managers) here: {% content-ref url="/pages/Gp0u2FqHtF46hXAKGZXa" %} [veCAKE Managers](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/vecake-managers) {% endcontent-ref %} For other questions, please check out: {% content-ref url="/pages/dZFK8q8q4TfJmBRh90FI" %} [veCAKE FAQ](/earn/earn-faq/cake-staking-faq/vecake-faq) {% endcontent-ref %} # What is veCAKE?
## **What is veCAKE?** veCAKE stands for vote-escrowed CAKE. It is not transferable, and the only way to acquire veCAKE is by staking CAKE. The maximum lock time is 4 years; the longer you lock your CAKE, the more veCAKE you’ll receive. ## **What is the purpose of veCAKE?** veCAKE tokens serve a crucial role in PancakeSwap's governance, enabling you to actively participate in PancakeSwap’s [governance proposals ](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting)and Gauges Voting system. This allows you to vote on broader governance proposals and influence the allocation of CAKE emissions within liquidity pools. ## **What are the benefits of holding veCAKE?** **Weekly Rewards:** Claim CAKE rewards regularly through CAKE Staking and Revenue Sharing. {% content-ref url="/pages/60ll5WPMYwZbWNlTwMH5" %} [Earn CAKE Weekly](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/earn-cake-weekly) {% endcontent-ref %} **Gauges Voting Participation:** Influence and boost CAKE emissions in your preferred pools, by engaging in Gauges Voting every 2 weeks, with results applied bi-weekly.

Just like the fixed-term CAKE staking pool, to enjoy the benefits from veCAKE, simply lock CAKE for a period of time. ## Go to the CAKE staking page
Navigate to and connect your wallet. Please note that veCAKE staking is only available on BNB Chain. ## Choose the lock amount and duration
On the left, you may input the amount of CAKE you wish to lock.
On the right, you may choose the duration for which to lock your CAKE. The minimum lock duration is 1 week, and the maximum lock duration is now extended to 4 years. To quickly select the duration for locking, use the quick action buttons to choose between: 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 4 years. ## Approve CAKE spend and start locking
Once confirmed, click “Lock CAKE” to proceed. A loading modal will appear. And your wallet should prompt you to confirm CAKE spending. Confirm the transaction in the wallet to continue. After the CAKE spend approval transaction is executed. Another wallet pop-up should appear. Confirm that transaction to lock CAKE and get veCAKE. ## Well done
Once confirmed, you should see your veCAKE staking position details on the left, with the amount of CAKE locked and the unlock time. And most importantly - your veCAKE number. Scroll down to check on all the veCAKE benefits. # Migrate from CAKE Pool
If you currently have an active fixed-term CAKE staking position, you can migrate it to veCAKE to unlock all the benefits of the new veCAKE instantly. {% hint style="warning" %} * Migration is **one-way**, **one-time**, with all the CAKE currently in the CAKE pool position (including rewards). Partial delegation is not available. * Migration can only be performed on an active position with more than 7 days in remaining lock time. * You can NOT extend or add more CAKE to a migrated position. However, you can create a new veCAKE position by locking CAKE. Then, perform add CAKE or extend position on the native veCAKE staking position. {% endhint %} ## Go to the CAKE staking page
Navigate to and connect your wallet. Please note that veCAKE staking is only available on the BNB Chain. If you have an active, fixed-term CAKE staking position in the CAKE pool, you should see the option to migrate. Simply click the button, and confirm the transaction in the wallet pop-up. ## Create a native position after migration
Once migrated, you should see your veCAKE balance, the number of CAKE locked, and the unlock time being updated on the left. They should be aligned with your current CAKE pool position. However, the migrated position can not be updated. If you want to get more veCAKE, create a new native veCAKE staking position on the right by locking extra CAKE. After creating a native position, you can start extending its lock duration, as well as adding more CAKE, using the pannel on the right. ## Check the breakdown of the number of CAKE and unlock time
Once you have both migrated and native veCAKE staking positions, your veCAKE balance will be a combined number of the two. To check more details and the breakdown, simply tap/hover on the veCAKE, locked amount and unlock time. Alternatively, you may click “View CAKE Pool Position” to go to CAKE pool for more details. ## Withdraw CAKE from CAKE staking pool The migrated position will unlock according to its original end time. Upon unlock, go to the Pools page and, withdraw the staked CAKE; add them into veCAKE staking to boost your veCAKE balance as well as other juicy benefits. Please note that after burning is still effective, to avoid rewards being burned, withdraw CAKE and add them to veCAKE as soon as possible when the migration position unlocks. # veCAKE Managers
veCAKE is not just a product, but an ecosystem. We have veCAKE Managers building on top of us: * liquid lockers for veCAKE, * yield boosters for PancakeSwap’s liquidity providers, * data dashboards, and * primary and secondary bribe marketplaces to influence CAKE emissions These protocols, by alphabetical order, and covered in more detail in following sections, include: * [**Cakepie (by Magpie)**](https://www.pancake.magpiexyz.io/stake) * [**Defi Wars**](https://www.defiwars.xyz/wars/pancake) * [**Hidden Hand**](https://hiddenhand.finance/pancakeswap) * [**StakeDAO**](https://www.stakedao.org/lockers/cake) We are grateful for their contributions, though please note that this is not an official endorsement of their products.

To enjoy the benefits of veCAKE such as bCAKE (Farm yield boosting) and iCAKE (IFO public sales allocation) on other chains. You need to perform a simple bridging request on BNB Chain to sync your veCAKE balance and PancakeProfile to other chains. ## How to bridge?
Go to [CAKE Staking](https://pancakeswap.finance/cake-staking) page and locate the veCAKE Sync card under the veCAKE benefits. Click “View Details” to open the sync modal.
In the modal. You can view the number of veCAKE you have on BNB Chain. As well as the list of destination chains, you may bridge your veCAKE and Pancake Profile to your veCAKE and Pancake Profile status on each of the chains. To sync, select the chain, and click “Sync”, then confirm in your wallet popup. It may take up to 20 mins to complete the bridging. You may check the bridging progress in the sync modal. Note: * You can only bridge one chain at a time. To sync your veCAKE to multiple chains, repeat the above process. * BNB will be charged upon the bridging request to cover the gas cost on the destination chain. The amount of BNB depends on the destination chain. Chains like the Ethereum mainnet will be significantly more expensive to sync due to the high gas cost. * To avoid unnecessary gas spent. Sync your veCAKE only to the chain where you want to enjoy the benefits. * After adding more CAKE or extending your veCAKE staking position, repeat the above process to update the veCAKE balance on the destination chains to ensure your benefits are up-to-date. ## FAQ **Q: How often do I need to sync my veCAKE and Pancake Profile?** A: For veCAKE, you only need to sync whenever you add more CAKE, extend the lock duration or perform a relock. Your veCAKE balance on destination chains will linearly decrease along with the balance on the BNB Chain. For Pancake Profile and its NFT. You will need to perform two syncs to participate in the Private Sales. The first one should be performed when the IFO is published and becomes viewable on UI. Another one should be performed after the IFO sale ends to enable claiming. **Q: How long does the bridging take?**
Depending on the destination chains. It usually takes around 2-5 mins to bridge and fully sync. For some slower chains, it could take up to 30 mins. To track your bridging request, check the sync modal for the LayerZero explorer link. Or head to and search via the BNB Chain tx id. **Q: Why the bridging tx on BNB Chain is failing?** A: * It could be because the gas estimation for the destination chain is out of date. Please refresh the page and retry. * Please also ensure there are sufficient amounts of BNB in the wallet to settle the gas fee required on the destination chain. **Q: Why my veCAKE or Pancake Profile is not bridged?** A: * veCAKE position with less than 1 day in the remaining lock time will not be bridged. Please first extend the lock and retry the sync. * The sync could take up to 30 minutes to complete. Please head to and search via the BNB Chain tx ID to confirm that the bridging status is “Delivered.” * If the bridging status is “Failed” or “Blocked”. Please contact one of our ambassadors via the public channel for more details. # veCAKE More information on veCAKE, ### [What is veCAKE?](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/what-is-vecake#what-is-vecake) ### [How is veCAKE calculated?](/earn/earn-faq/cake-staking-faq/vecake-faq#id-52f27118-bbf3-448b-9ffe-e9e1a9dd97ef) ### How to check the veCAKE number? If you are casting a vote, you will find the number of vCAKE in the voting power breakdown by clicking the ">" button on the "Confirm Vote" window. ![](/files/l3RK3bTsO5YLy4pa1LjO) If you are making a community proposal, you can check your voting power by clicking "Check your voting power" at the bottom of the "Actions" panel. # Earn CAKE Weekly
Holding veCAKE automatically enrols you to two of our weekly CAKE reward pools. Both will be distributing rewards in CAKE. One of them is distributing rewards from weekly revenue shares; the other one is replacing the legacy CAKE staking pool and distributing emission-based CAKE rewards. ## How to participate? ### 1 - Become eligible
To become eligible, you must have an active veCAKE staking position. Additionally, to accumulate rewards in the next period, your position **MUST** unlock equal to or later than the second coming weekly distribution (every week at 00:00 UTC on Thursday). For example, to join the week 1 distribution. You must: * Join before 00:00 UTC, Thursday on week 1 * Have an active fixed-term CAKE staking position, which unlocks equal to or later than 00:00 UTC, Thursday on week 3 ### 2 - Check your rewards
Go to the CAKE staking page, scroll down, look for the "Earn CAKE" section under "Benefits of veCAKE". In the top section, you may view your veCAKE number. At the bottom, you may find: * **Your shares** - shares number in the reward pool. This is equal to your veCAKE balance at the time of the next distribution. Please note that the veCAKE balance is constantly decreasing based on the remaining lock time. * **Next distribution** - the time till the next distribution * **Last distribution** - the time of the last revenue distribution and share number update * **Available for claiming** - the amount of CAKE available for claiming {% hint style="info" %} Please note that your shares will only be updated upon a weekly distribution. Therefore, your shares may appear to be 0 right after you update your staking position. Check back again after the next distribution to view your shares. {% endhint %} ### 3 - Claim your rewards Your shares will be updated upon the next weekly distribution after you start locking or migrated your position to veCAKE. You will start accumulating rewards based on the number of shares you have against the whole pool.
After a whole calendar week passes and the pool hits the next weekly distribution on Thursday. You may now claim the rewards from the last period by going back to the benefits panel and clicking the “Claim All” button. ### 4 - Stay eligible and gain more shares Upon each weekly distribution, your shares are re-adjusted based on: * Your veCAKE balance * At the time of the next distribution (00:00 UTC, Thursday) * (note that veCAKE is gradually decreasing with the remaining lock time) For example: If a user has `50` CAKE locked and the current remaining lock time is `4.2` weeks, then the user will have `50 * (4 / 209) ~= 0.95` veCAKE/shares at the next distribution. To receive more shares, lock more CAKE or renew your lock durations to increase your remaining lock time. Additionally, since the remaining lock duration will be rounded down to weeks, to keep receiving shares, you must ensure your staking position will unlock equal to or later than the second next distribution. For example, to join the week 1 distribution. You must: * Join before 00:00 UTC, Thursday on week 1 * Have an active fixed-term CAKE staking position, which unlocks equal to or later than 00:00 UTC, Thursday on week 3 # FAQ ### I’ve locked my CAKE or migrated my CAKE pool position. Why do I still have 0 shares? Shares are updated upon each weekly distribution at 00:00 UTC every Thursday. Rewards are accumulated whenever you have finished staking for a complete epoch. Epochs are 7-day periods, starting every Thursday, UTC 00:00. For example, if you stake on Tuesday. Your first epoch will start on Thursday. Once you have finished staking till the next Thursday. You will be able to claim your rewards from this Thursday to next Thursday, aka epoch 1. Check back again each Thursday for updated reward numbers. ### Why are my shares/rewards being 0 despite having an active staking position? When calculating rewards. The remaining lock duration is rounded down to weeks. Therefore, to receive shares, you must ensure your staking position unlocks no earlier than the very next Thursday 00:00 UTC. For example, week 1 starts at 00:00 UTC, Thursday, 1 Jan. To receive rewards for the week 1 distribution. You must: * Join before 00:00 UTC, 1 Jan. * Have an active veCAKE staking position, which unlocks equal to or later than 00:00 UTC, 15 Jan. (Thursday on week 3) Please note that if your staking position unlocks at 00:00 UTC, 8 Jan (Thursday on week 2). You will still receive 0 rewards for week 1 due to your veCAKE balance turning at 00:00 UTC, 8 Jan. ### Can I join a distribution period mid-week? No, as mentioned, rewards can only start to accumulate when you are already staking at the beginning of the epoch. Which is every week at 00:00 UTC, Thursday. ### How do I receive more rewards? Since your shares in pools are calculated based on veCAKE balance at the distribution time, which is at 00:00 UTC next coming Thursday. To receive more rewards, simply bump up your veCAKE balance by: * Locking more CAKE in the veCAKE staking position * Renewing your staking position Please note that after adding CAKE or extending, your shares will only update after the beginning of the next epoch, which is 00:00 UTC, the coming Thursday. ### Why are the weekly injected rewards not 100% matching the volume displayed on various trackers (like the Info page)? Why are the weekly CAKE pool rewards not 100% matching the gauges voting results. The number of CAKE rewards injected weekly may not be 100% matching with the numbers calculated from the volume displayed on various trackers. Multiple external factors may impact the number of CAKE rewards that can be converted: * CAKE token price while the trading fee is being converted and processed * Underlying asset prices while the trading fee is being converted and processed * To save gas and operational cost. Revenues from blockchains other than BNB Chain are processed monthly. They will be injected with a one-month delay with weekly averaging. * Some trading pairs may have insufficient liquidity while processing the trading fee. * Some trading pairs may contain tokens with custom logic that prevent their fee from being processed. * Transaction delays due to infrastructures and supportive system performance. Chefs are working hard to apply tools and practices to ensure more trading fees generated can be processed and converted into CAKE. # Gauges Voting Use your veCAKE to vote and decide how CAKE emission is distributed
#### What is a gauge? To understand gauges voting, you may think of any products that require CAKE emissions as a series of gauges. This includes farms, CAKE weekly reward pool, position manager vaults, etc. veCAKE holders can now use their veCAKE as votes to decide how much % of CAKE goes to which product. The more veCAKE a gauge accumulates through Gauges Voting, the more CAKE emissions will be allocated to the underlying liquidity pool / position manager vault. {% hint style="info" %} The votes in each epoch (E-0) determines the CAKE emission for the next epoch (E+1), and these changes take effect only after the current epoch concludes. {% endhint %} #### Gauge Types There are two types of gauges - ‘core’ and ‘non-core’. CAKE emissions to the former are controlled by the Kitchen, while the community influences emissions to ‘non-core’ pools by voting with veCAKE. 1. ‘Core’ gauges include pairs with major tokens and stablecoins (WBTC, ETH, BNB, USDC, USDT, etc.) - the Kitchen will make sure these pairs receive sufficient CAKE rewards as they contribute significantly to the protocol’s revenue 2. ‘Non-core’ gauges represent all other gauges not classified as ‘core’ gauges ## How to Vote? ### 1 - Understand the voting schedule
Gauges weight voting is conducted every two weeks. The beginning of an epoch, just like revenue sharing, is at 00:00 UTC every even Thursdays. In the above example: * Epoch 1 is starting at 00:00 UTC, 1st, Thursday on Week 1. * Epoch 1 is ending 2 weeks later, at 00:00 UTC, 15th, Thursday on Week 3. * Users can vote during 00:00 UTC from 1st to 14th. * **NO** votes can be cast during 00:00 UTC from 14th to 15th as votes are being adjusted and tallied. * Voting results will be snapshotted at 00:00 UTC on the 15th. The end of Epoch 1. * Voting results will be applied within 72 hrs after an epoch is closed. ### 2 - Become eligible
Since veCAKE is gradually decreasing according to the remaining lock time, voting results will be taken via a snapshot at the end of every epoch. This includes the number of total veCAKE, and the veCAKE each user has. In the above example: * Results for Epoch 1, will be based on the veCAKE balances at 00:00 UTC, 15th. * Users whose veCAKE position is unlocking before or equal to 15th, will have 0 veCAKE balance at the snapshot time. Therefore they have no voting power for Epoch 1. Therefore, to become eligible, you must obtain an active veCAKE position, which unlocks **LATER** than the end/snapshot time of the current epoch. In the above example: * If you want to vote in epoch 1, you must have a veCAKE position which unlocks on the 21st or later than the 21st, or Thursday on week 3. ### 3 - Check the current voting results Head to "CAKE staking", scroll down and look for the "Gauges Voting" section, then click "Check Gauges".
At the top-left section. You may find: * Your veCAKE. * Snapshot time and voting end time for the current epoch. * The total number of CAKE rewards to be distributed in the next epoch is based on the voting results from the current epoch. * The total amount of veCAKE votes cast. At the top-right, you may find a pie chart representing the % of each gauge received. At the bottom, there is a complete list of every voting gauges. With the number of votes they received and the expected % weight, they are gaining in the current epoch. There is also a "boost" and "caps" field, detailing two important gauge characteristics. Continue reading for more details. #### Gauge Boost and Emission Caps To ensure CAKE rewards go to the most productive gauges. Each gauge can be applied with a boost and/or an emission cap. Two of the characteristics can both exist at the same time. Gauge Boost is a multiplier applied to the number of votes a gauge receives, ranging from 1x to 2.5x (gauges for V3 pools are capped at 2x). This is to encourage votes and liquidity for important trading pairs. Emission cap is a maximum cap on the % weight a gauge can receive, ranging from 2% to 20%. This is to promote fairness in allocation and prevent abuse of the gauge system. For example: * A gauge has 10 votes, 2x boost and 15% cap. The total vote is 100. * After applying the boost, this gauge will have 20 votes, 20% weight against the total (100). * However, since it has a 15% cap, the final % of CAKE rewards this gauge receives in the next epoch will be adjusted to 15%. #### How are Gauge Boost and Emission Caps determined? During the process of a gauge application, we ask applicants to propose the value of the boost multiplier and emissions cap % they wish to assign to the gauge. These have to be voted on by veCAKE holders, along with the entire gauge application. The default option for all gauges is 1.00x multiplier and 5% emission cap. They can be changed with future proposals. {% hint style="info" %} Please note that the voting results are updated weekly. Numbers are calculated based on the veCAKE balances at 00:00 UTC, the coming Thursday. {% endhint %} ### 4 - Add gauges to vote
To vote on a gauge, scroll down and look for "My Votes" section. Click "Add Gauge". In the pop-up window, you may add gauges to your list of votes by clicking the blue "+" icon. You may find the current voting results in the list, along with boost and caps. To quickly locate a gauge, you can use filtering to filter gauges by blockchains, fee tiers and liquidity types. Or type in the token ticker into the search field. ### 5 - Select how much % veCAKE to vote on each gauges
Once you have added the gauges, you may select how much % of your veCAKE goes to each of the gauges. This is because: * veCAKE gradually decreases with the remaining lock time. It is impractical to estimate and calculate how many exact veCAKE to vote. * It is troublesome to re-vote in every upcoming epoch. Therefore, gauges voting is designed to carry your voting decisions throughout all the upcoming epoch until you cast a new one. In the above example: * At the moment, I have 2.62 veCAKE. * I decided to allocate 80% to CAKE-BNB, which is 2.10 veCAKE at the moment. * 20% to USDC-ETH, which is 0.52 veCAKE, again, at the moment. * My total veCAKE will gradually decrease along with the remaining lock time. At the snapshot time, I may have less veCAKE, but my decision of 80% - 20% split will still be applied to the final results. * On top of that, this 80% - 20% decision will be applied to every coming epoch until I update it by casting a new vote request. Or until my veCAKE goes to 0 due to unlocking. Once you have confirmed your decision, click "Submit vote" and confirm in your wallet. ### 6 - Update your votes
Once your vote is submitted, you may see your votes being updated to "Current Votes". And the remaining veCAKE gets updated. Please note that the voting decision for each gauge can only be updated every 10 days. Once you submit a vote request, all voted gauges will be applied a 10-day cooldown period before you can submit another request for updates. To update your vote decision, change the % percentage and submit again. {% hint style="info" %} Please note that after gaining more veCAKE by adding CAKE or extending lock time. You need to manually update every gauges by re-submitting the vote request. The 10 days cooldown period still applies regardless if you changed your % decisions. {% endhint %} # Incentivizing Liquidity
For projects that wish to incentivize liquidity via the veCAKE system, please visit here: {% content-ref url="/pages/A92bGrvvUwSv2C1TnvLi" %} [Broken mention](broken://pages/A92bGrvvUwSv2C1TnvLi) {% endcontent-ref %} # Bribes (Vote Incentives)
Apart from earning CAKE via our weekly [CAKE reward pools](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/earn-cake-weekly), veCAKE holders can vote for gauges to claim bribes from external bribe marketplaces. These bribes are usually submitted by external project teams on some of our [veCAKE Managers](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/vecake-managers). This serves as an additional source of yield for veCAKE holders, and also diversifies the type of tokens they receive as yield. There are two types of bribe marketplaces: 1. Primary bribe marketplaces allow projects to submit bribes to reward **veCAKE holders** for voting for their desired gauges. 2. Secondary bribe marketplaces allow projects to submit bribes to reward a **derivative project's token holders** (e.g vlCKP from Cakepie) for voting for their desired gauges. The protocol in question (e.g. Cakepie) will then vote for the gauges with their own veCAKE holdings, based on the vote outcome of their token holders. We currently have two primary bribe marketplaces where veCAKE holders can vote for gauges and claim bribes from external teams: 1. [Hidden Hand](https://hiddenhand.finance/pancakeswap) 2. [Votemarket (by StakeDAO)](https://votemarket.stakedao.org/?market=cake\&solution=All) veCAKE holders should visit these bribe marketplaces regularly and vote for gauges that can help optimize their yield on veCAKE. # iCAKE veCAKE Staking and IFO Allocations ### **What is the new iCAKE?** After transitioning to veCAKE, the new iCAKE will be based on the veCAKE balance * Just like the old iCAKE, it determines the maximum CAKE commit limit in the PancakeSwap IFO public sales. For example, if you have 200 iCAKE, you can commit 200 CAKE in IFO public sales. * The new iCAKE number is calculated using the veCAKE balance at the end of each IFO. Therefore, you will have different iCAKE numbers for each IFO. * Since veCAKE balance gradually decreases with your remaining lock time. Therefore, your iCAKE in future IFOs will decrease with your veCAKE balance. To maintain your iCAKE number, add more CAKE to the stakings, or renew/extend your lock. **iCAKE is NOT a new token, it is a numerical metric being used by the PancakeSwap IFO system.** ### How is iCAKE calculated? The number of iCAKE you have is based on the veCAKE balance at the end of each IFO, multiplied by a predefined ratio. veCAKE is a dynamically calculated value based on how much CAKE you lock and how much time is left in the lock. To learn more about how veCAKE is calculated, check out [here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/vecake/faq#52f27118-bbf3-448b-9ffe-e9e1a9dd97ef). An additional ratio is being applied on top of the veCAKE balance, which is adjusted by the Kitchen for each IFO. For example, if the ratio is 2x, and you have 1 veCAKE at the end of the next IFO, you can commit up to 2 CAKE. Example: * You locked 100 CAKE for 2 years. * Your remaining lock time is: `2 * 52 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 62899200` (seconds) * The max lock time is: `(209 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60) - 1 = 126403199` (seconds) * At the current moment, you have: `100 * (62899200 / 126403199) ~= 49.76` veCAKE * The very next IFO is scheduled; its end time is exactly 1 week later, which is `604800` seconds after the current moment. * At the time, your remaining lock time is: `62899200 - 604800 = 62294400` (seconds) * At that time, you have: `100 * (62294400 / 126403199) ~= 49.28` veCAKE * For this IFO, the ratio is set to `3x` * Therefore, for this IFO, you have: `49.28 * 3 = 147.84` iCAKE, which means you can commit up to 147.84 CAKE in the public sale. ### How to check the number of iCAKE I have?
You can check the number of iCAKE you have on the IFO page [here](https://pancakeswap.finance/ifo). Please keep in mind that when there is no upcoming IFO, your iCAKE will be calculated using real-time veCAKE balance, which gradually decreases second by second. When there is an upcoming IFO, your iCAKE will be calculated using the veCAKE balance at the snapshot time, which is the end of the IFO. Your iCAKE will not decrease or change until the IFO ends. ### **How do I increase the number of iCAKE I have?** You can increase the number of iCAKE anytime by: * Adding more CAKE to your veCAKE staking position. * Extend your veCAKE staking position. on the [CAKE Staking Page](https://pancakeswap.finance/cake-staking) ### What is the "Ratio" in iCAKE calculation? Ratio is an additional control factor being applied on top of the veCAKE balance when calculating iCAKE. For example, if the ratio is 2x, and you have 1 veCAKE at the end of the next IFO, you can commit up to 2 CAKE. Between each IFO, the kitchen will optimise the "Ratio" based on various metrics. The adjustment will be published on all social channels.
You can check the current "Ratio" number for iCAKE calculations by going to [the IFO page](https://pancakeswap.finance/ifo). # bCAKE Use bCAKE - Farm Booster to boost your PancakeSwap farming positions!
bCAKE - Farm Booster, is an automatically generated boost multiplier that allows you to boost your CAKE yield from selected farms up to 2.5x, taking full advantage of combining veCAKE staking and liquidity farming. {% hint style="info" %} **bCAKE is NOT a new token and can NOT be transferred!** {% endhint %} Learn more about bCAKE and how to use it to boost your farming yields: {% content-ref url="/pages/EAm0e1hWDQLaegOIriHq" %} [How to use the new bCAKE](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/how-to-use-the-new-bcake) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Mumn3oRhYvQHN4rLDVPO" %} [FAQ](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/faq) {% endcontent-ref %} # How to use the new bCAKE veCAKE Staking and Farming Boost
Like iCAKE and vCAKE, bCAKE is a veCAKE staking benefit designed for our loyal CAKE holders. By locking CAKE, you get veCAKE, which automatically gives you bCAKE. You can boost earning from selected farms up to 2.5x. The boost multiplier is calculated based on your veCAKE balance, and how much liquidity in the farm you are trying to boost. ## Preparations #### **Initiate a fixed-term veCAKE staking position** ![](/files/u4btvbdAoR9Vbb6lO2Cf) If you haven't locked any CAKE in the veCAKE pool, click "Go to Pool" and follow the instructions to initiate a fixed-term staking position. To learn more about how to initiate a veCAKE staking position, read [here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/syrup-pool/new-cake-pool#fixed-term-staking). #### Locate the farm and the position you want to boost You can only boost your earning from farms with bCAKE enabled. To look for those farms, check the APR section and look for a green APR figure with a green rocket icon. ![](/files/B1cOA1k8HtpVxOZaVjKQ) Alternatively, use the “Booster Available” filter within the “Farm Types” selector to quickly filter all the bCAKE-enabled farms. ![](/files/yan5AdFMnkMuF1cwGbfh) #### Stake your position In order to activate bCAKE, your position must be staking in the farm. * For V3: stake your LP position by clicking “Stake”. * For V2 and StableSwap: stake your LP token by clicking “Add LP”. * For Position Managers: add liquidity by clicking “Add Liquidity”. To learn more about yield farming, check out [this](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/yield-farming/how-to-use-farms) tutorial. #### Activate bCAKE bCAKE activation is now fully automatic.

V3 Farm

V2, StableSwap

Position Manager

Once staked, you should see the applied boost multiplier for the farm you are currently staking. To learn more about how the bCAKE multiplier is calculated, read [here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/yield-farming/bcake/faq#why-do-my-multipliers-change-even-after-activation). {% hint style="info" %} Please note that any user actions to the farming position or veCAKE staking will automatically update your boost multiplier based on the latest data and statistics from farms and the CAKE staking pool. Learn more [here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/yield-farming/bcake/faq#why-do-my-multipliers-change-even-after-activation). {% endhint %} There is no longer a limit to the number of farming positions that are able to boost simultaneously. As long as the veCAKE staking position is active, you may boost an unlimited number of farms, and position managers position. #### Unset bCAKE bCAKE unset is now also fully automatic. To unset bCAKE boost, simply remove your liquidity. * For V3: unstake your LP position by clicking “Unstake”. * For V2 and StableSwap: unstake your LP token by clicking the “-” minus button. * For Position Managers: remove liquidity by clicking the “-” minus button. # Migration Guide Migrate your V2, StableSwap or Position Manager liquidity to enjoy bCAKE boosting
To start boosting your V2, StableSwap or Position Manager liquidity via bCAKE, you need to perform a migration by unstaking your LP from the old contract, and restake them into the new one. ### Navigate to the migration wizard
Locate the banner at the top of the Farm or Position Manager page, click “Proceed” to start the migration process. [Go to Farm](https://pancakeswap.finance/farms) [Go to Position Manager](https://pancakeswap.finance/position-managers) ### Unstake your LP tokens from the old contracts
In the first step, you will see a full list of V2, StableSwap farms, and position managers that require migration to enjoy bCAKE boosting. Click the “Unstake All” buttons on the right, and confirm the tx in your wallet app, to unstake ALL LP tokens from the old contracts. You will need to unstake each of them individually. After unstaking all the LPs, click “Go to Stake” to proceed to the next step. ### Restake your LP tokens into the new contracts
In the second step, you will see a full list of V2, StableSwap farms, and position managers that are available to restake. First, click the “Enable” buttons to enable deposits. Then, click “Restake” buttons to restake the LP tokens into the new contract. * For V2 and StableSwap farms, you need to define the number of LP tokens you want to restake in the new pop-up modal.
We recommend to restake all of your LP tokens to ensure you are earning the maximum yield available. * For Position Managers, simply confirm the tx in your wallet, all of your Position Managers LPs will be restaked into the new contracts.
Since Position Manager LPs can not be processed separately, we strongly recommend to restake ALL position managers LP into the new contracts. After restaking, the buttons will turn to “Staked” You will need to restake each of them individually. After restaking all LPs, click “Finish”, to go back to the Farm page. # FAQ ![](/files/MLuzcy2HBl5Vw9kTALVl) ### How are the bCAKE multipliers calculated? You may notice that you get different bCAKE boost multipliers when staking in different farms. That's because bCAKE - Farm Boosters multipliers are calculated using the following metrics upon activation or refresh: * `userLpBalanceInFarm` : The amount of liquidity you are staking in the farm. * `NonfungiblePositionManager.positions(uint256 tokenId).liquidity` * `totalLpBalanceInFarm` : The total amount of liquidity staking in the farm or the current active amount of liquidity in the V3 LP pool. bCAKE will choose the smaller number between the two. * `MasterChefV3.poolInfo(uint256 pid).totalLiquidity` * `PancakeV3Pool.liquidity` * `veCAKE.balanceOf(user)` : The real-time number of veCAKE you have * `veCAKE.totalSupply` : The real-time total supply of veCAKE The multiplier is calculated using the following method: 1. `resultA = constantA *`` ``userLpBalanceInFarm` 2. `resultB = totalLpBalanceInFarm * veCAKE.balanceOf(user) / veCAKE.totalSupply * constantB` 3. `boostMultiplier = min(``userLpBalanceInFarm, (resultA + resultB)) / resultA` `constantA` and `constantB` are set by the kitchen and subject to future adjustments based on community feedback and market conditions. `constantB` varies between different farms to compensate for the LP price differences. `constantA` and `constantB` can be fethced via: * `FarmBooster.cA` * `FarmBooster.cBOverride(uint256 pid) > 0 ? FarmBooster.cBOverride(uint256 pid) : FarmBooster.cB` But: {% hint style="info" %} **TL;DR** The more LP (liquidity) you want to boost The more CAKE you need to lock for longer durations {% endhint %} ### Why do my multipliers change even after activation? Please note that **any user actions to the farming position or CAKE staking pool will automatically update your boost multiplier** based on the latest data and statistics from farms and the CAKE staking pool, including but not limited to: * Stake/Unstake position to/from the farm * Harvest CAKE rewards from farm * Extend your CAKE staking duration * Add more CAKE into your fixed-term staking position * Convert your CAKE staking position to flexible {% hint style="warning" %} Please note: To ensure fairness and prevent potential abuse and cheating using out-of-date data. Farm booster is designed to be permissionless and community governance. Therefore, **anyone** can call `updateLiquidity(address _tokenId)` function on the MasterChef V3 contract to refresh anyone's boost multipliers using the latest data. On top of that, the kitchen will also monitor all bCAKE-enabled farming positions and will refresh any position with an out-of-date multiplier. {% endhint %} ### Why I'm not able to boost a position 1. Farm booster is only available for selected farms. More farms will be made available in the future. For now, **look for the green APR figure with a green rocket icon.**\ ![](/files/PVAj4gbPgc41s6DBMi9w)
2. Due to multiple contracts' involvement, some contract interactions require slightly more gas tokens (BNB). So please make sure you have enough BNB in your wallet. If the error persists, try manually increase the gas limit of the transaction. ### What is the maximum bCAKE Boost Multiplier I can get? Currently, the maximum boost a user can get for a farm booster is 2.5x, which offers them 2.5x the original APRs. Please note that the maximum boost you can get varies between types of liquidity you are trying to stake: * V3: 2x max * V2, StableSwap: 2.5x max * Position Managers: 2.5x max ### How can I increase my bCAKE Boost Multipliers? * Add more CAKE into the veCAKE staking position * Extend or renew the duration of your veCAKE staking position Simply put: **Stake more CAKE, stake for longer** [Learn more about how the bCAKE boost multipliers are calculated](#how-are-the-bcake-multipliers-calculated). ### Where are the extra boosted CAKE rewards coming from? **Relax, no extra emissions are allocated in order to make bCAKE possible.** Similar to veCAKE CAKE staking. bCAKE boosts individual users' share against others. Even though the baseline APR may drop after the deployment of bCAKE. Chefs believe it is a good tradeoff as it benefits loyal CAKE lovers by boosting their farming yield, creates more demand for CAKE, and serves as a great incentive for CAKE staking. ### Why the multiplier I receive is low? bCAKE - farm booster works in a way by evaluating both your veCAKE staking position and your liquidity farming position against other users. Simply put: > If users want to boost more liquidity in the farm, they must lock more CAKE for longer durations in the pool. This design ensures the benefits are not only offered to large holders, but to any user who has a sizable CAKE staking position when compared to the farming position. Learn more about how the multiplier is calculated [here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/yield-farming/bcake/faq#how-are-the-bcake-multipliers-calculated). ### Why are there only x number of farms that are booster-available? Since bCAKE involves updating one of PancakeSwap's core products, which is liquidity farming. Chefs want to take a slower and more steady approach to the launch. Therefore, in the initial product release phase. Many of the parameters are very conservative. Including the number of farms users can boost, which farm users can boost, as well as the difficulty parameter in receiving the boost multiplier. **Chefs will adjust the parameters based on the community feedback.** ### **Is bCAKE V3 audited?** bCAKE has been audited by both internal and external auditors. Check out audit reports here: # V2 (deprecated) bCAKE V2 is deprecated. Staking, unstaking or harvesting on your farming position will automatically unset your booster. Find legacy documents here: {% content-ref url="/pages/fJUgvYjjsHE94TSb7tm6" %} [How to use bCAKE?](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/v2-deprecated/how-to-use-bcake) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Mumn3oRhYvQHN4rLDVPO" %} [FAQ](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/faq) {% endcontent-ref %} # How to use bCAKE? ![](/files/45zchxxdUjRvYpgDOnEJ) Similar to iCAKE and vCAKE, bCAKE is also a benefit designed for users who lock their CAKE in the fixed-term CAKE staking pool. The boost multiplier is calculated based on how much CAKE you stake, how long you are staking them for, as well as how many LP tokens you are staking in the farm that you want to boost. ## Preparations ### Initiate a fixed-term CAKE staking position ![](/files/ZBznuiiJkZGvOBjOrahv) If you haven't locked any CAKE in the CAKE staking pool, click "Go to Pool" and follow the instructions to initiate a fixed-term staking position. To learn more about how to do fixed-term CAKE staking, read [here](/archive/legacy-products/new-cake-pool#fixed-term-staking). ### Enable farm boosters ![](/files/MkXXgCjraPEaO3RTAY14) To enable farm boosters, you must complete a one-time setup process. To proceed, simply click "Enable" and confirm the transaction from your wallet. ### Migrate your stakings {% hint style="info" %} If you are not currently staking in the farm you want to activate bCAKE, you can skip this step and start by staking LP tokens in the farm. {% endhint %} ![](/files/504BAiGZVu1rXZYr6bR2) If you have been staking in the farm you want to activate the farm booster, a one-time staking migration is also required. Click "Migrate" and follow the step-by-step guide to complete the migrations. Your CAKE rewards will be automatically harvested and sent to your wallet. ![](/files/bpAjQEKaFmEmitJv9qvz) ## Activate Boosters ![](/files/RUg2KWMOF8PmVb7XBtIB) Once ready, you should see the available boost multiplier and the boosted APR for the farm you are currently staking. To learn more about how the bCAKE multiplier is calculated, read [here](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/faq#how-are-the-bcake-multipliers-calculated). To activate the boost, click the "Boost" button, and confirm the transaction from your wallet. {% hint style="info" %} Please note that any user actions to the farms or CAKE staking pool will automatically update your boost multiplier based on the latest data and statistics from farms and the CAKE staking pool. Learn more [here](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/faq#why-do-my-multipliers-change-even-after-activation). {% endhint %} ### ![](/files/CaZHc99BD626CjSvroWw) There is a limit to the number of farms that are able to boost simultaneously. To check the number of remaining boosters, refer to the panel on top. You will need to unset an active booster in order to activate boosters on other farms. ## Unset Boosters ![](/files/zfM8HUq5ohl9lJ6UIV3m) To unset a farm booster, simply click the "Unset" button, and confirm the transaction from your wallet. Please note upon unsetting, CAKE earned will be harvested to the farm booster contract and will be automatically sent to your wallet upon the next harvest, deposit or withdrawal. Learn more [here](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bcake/faq#where-are-my-cake-rewards-after-activating-or-unsetting-the-booster). # Analytics (Info Page) ## Info Page View PancakeSwap's native analytics site here:
All core metrics data are sourced from the PCS internal Indexer, which, in turn, gathers data from events triggered when the contract is called. For the date dimension in the PancakeSwap's internal indexer, we use international standard time (UTC) for daily statistics. Therefore, when the horizontal axis on the Dashboard displays a date, it represents the date in international standard time (UTC).
## Core Metrics
**Volume (Trading Volume):** We monitor the daily data for each trading pair and the daily trading data for each token. The daily trading volume is determined by multiplying the trading volume of each token for the day by its price. **Total Value Locked:** Get all pools from internal Indexer and read the reserve\_usd or total\_value\_locked\_usd from each pool. **Price:** In the PCS Internal Indexer, we utilize several base pools to calculate USD-related prices. The primary pool is the stablecoin trading pool, where we use the trading pool with the highest volume as the base pool and calculate the USD price of the stablecoin based on the trading volume weight. Additionally, the trading pool of the base token to the chain's stablecoin is also considered a base pool to provide the USD price. *Tokens that are not whitelisted or not paired with whitelisted tokens are excluded from these calculations.*

# Commonly Asked Business Partnerships Questions #### How long will it take to get a response? We aim to respond to applications within a week, but due to a large number of requests, we’re unable to respond to every single applicant. If you don’t hear back from us within two weeks of applying, try reaching out to[ @PancakeSwapBD](https://t.me/PancakeSwapBD) on Telegram, with the name of your project, your project’s website, and the date you applied. #### Can I extend my Syrup Pool? If you’ve already got an ongoing Syrup Pool, you can extend the timeline with additional release of tokens. Contact us via your existing PancakeSwap communication channels for enquiries. ### Listing on the Exchange #### How can I list my token on the exchange? Anybody can "list" any ERC-20 / BEP-20 network token on PancakeSwap. You don't need to contact us or ask permission. You just need to [add liquidity to a liquidity pool](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/pancakeswap-exchange/pancakeswap-pools) - that's it. Traders can then trade your token by entering your token's contract address. #### How can I add my token to the default list? Projects hosting Farms will usually be added to the Extended token list, and other tokens chosen by the PancakeSwap core team may also be added. We don’t take applications for the list. Users can still add your token manually by entering its contract address. #### How can I add my token's logo/icon? Please add your icon to Trust Wallet’s assets repo, which PancakeSwap references:[ https://github.com/trustwallet/assets](https://github.com/trustwallet/assets) #### Someone made a fake copy of my token! Can you block it? Due to PancakeSwap’s nature as an AMM-based DEX, we’re not able to prevent the trading of any token. We recommend ensuring that your token contract is clearly visible and verifiable on your site and educating your users about how to safely trade your token. #### People get an error when trading my token. What can I do? Check our [Troubleshooting page](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/readme/help/troubleshooting) for a list of common errors on the exchange, and how to solve them. #### Why are some statistics of my tokens not shown on the Info page? Tokens need to be paired with a “common” token, and have a minimum amount of liquidity denominated in the “common” token for the Info page to start indexing the token pair. The statistics of the underlying token will be shown once the token pair is indexed. These are our liquidity requirements across the different chains: | Chain | Liquidity Requirement | "Common" Tokens | | --------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | BNB Chain | 10 BNB | WBNB, USDT, BUSD, USDC, BTCB, WETH, CAKE | | Ethereum | 5 ETH | WETH, DAI, USDC, USDT, WBTC, LINK, FEI, MATIC, AAVE, CAKE | | Base | 1 ETH | USDC, cbETH, rETH, DAI, crvUSD | | opBNB | 1 BNB | WBNB, USDT | | Arbitrum | No requirement for now | USDT, USDC, USDC.e, ARB, WBTC, DAI | | zkSync | No requirement for now | USDT, USDC, BUSD, WBTC | | Linea | No requirement for now | USDC, USDT, DAI, BUSD, WBTC | # Ambassador Program The PancakeSwap Ambassador Program is designed to empower our most dedicated users and supporters, giving them the opportunity to actively contribute to the growth of our ecosystem.

You can stake your CAKE in PancakeSwap Syrup Pools. Visit the [Syrup Pools page](https://pancakeswap.finance/pools). Read our [How to Stake in Syrup Pools guide](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/syrup-pool/syrup-pool-guide) if you'd like a hand getting started with staking. ## What is the difference between staking and farming? Staking in Syrup Pools and farming with Yield Farming are both ways to earn more CAKE by supporting PancakeSwap. Staking only needs some CAKE to be added to a Syrup Pool to earn CAKE or other tokens.\ [Learn more about Syrup Pool staking.](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/syrup-pool) Farming is more complicated and needs LP Tokens to earn CAKE.\ [Learn more about Yield Farming.](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/yield-farming) ## How do I farm? We have a [Yield Farming guide](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/yield-farming/how-to-use-farms) if you're interested in learning how to farm. ## Where can I view the PancakeSwap roadmap? You can [view our to-do list here, but don't call it a roadmap](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/roadmap). ## How do I connect my wallet to BNB Smart Chain and PancakeSwap? We have a [Connect Your Wallet to PancakeSwap guide](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/get-started/connection-guide) covering this in detail. ## What's the best wallet for PancakeSwap? It depends on your needs. We have an [in-depth guide to selecting and creating a wallet](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/get-started/wallet-guide) that's right for you. ## Why is my transaction failing? You can check the status of a transaction on [https://bscscan.com/](https://bscscan.com). Our [Troubleshooting Errors guide](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/help/troubleshooting) may have a solution for your problem if you're having issues. You can also see our [Fixing Stuck Pending Transactions guide](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/help/unsticking-a-transaction-stuck-as-pending-with-metamask) if you have a stuck transaction. ## When will you open more pools? New Pools are added to PancakeSwap frequently. There will always be an announcement before the launch of new pools. Join the [announcements Telegram group](https://t.me/PancakeSwapAnn) to learn about new Pools as early as possible. ## Did Farm APR calculation change? Previously, rewards earned by LP Token-holders generated from trading fees were not included in Farm APR calculations. APR calculations now include these rewards, and better reflect the expected APR for Farm pairs. ## How do I get airdrops? Whenever there is an official airdrop on PancakeSwap it will be announced along with the requirements. Please remember anyone can airdrop tokens to PancakeSwap users since every transaction is public on BscScan. Be sure to do your own research when it comes to non-official airdrops. To protect your funds, we recommend you don't use a smart contract you don't understand from a source you don't trust. ## How can I report a bug? Learn about our [bug bounty and potential bounty payouts](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/code/bug-bounty). ## Where can I view smart contracts? Learn how to find smart contracts on our [Finding Contracts page](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/code/smart-contracts). ## Why does it say I have no BNB balance? If you've already [transferred BNB into your BNB Smart Chain-enabled wallet](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/get-started/bep20-guide) but still have this error, you're most likely not [connected to BNB Smart Chain](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/get-started/connection-guide) within your wallet. Check your wallet's selected network and make sure you have BNB Smart Chain (BSC) selected. ## How do I vote? To learn more about voting, you can [read our section on Voting](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/voting), including voting guides. ## What is the max supply of CAKE? Yes, CAKE now has a hard cap of 400M as outlined in [our latest proposal](https://pancakeswap.finance/voting/proposal/0xc988547f7b6c435764c840623685b0c2d13ebcc91d1672d39c51b6d14207f9a5?id=0xc988547f7b6c435764c840623685b0c2d13ebcc91d1672d39c51b6d14207f9a5\&chain=bsc). ## What are the treasury funds used for?

You can check the analytics of PancakeSwap by click on the "Analytics" tab on the top menu or by clicking the link below. Analytics: [https://pancakeswap.info/](https://pancakeswap.info) ## Is PancakeSwap protected from flashloan attacks? PancakeSwap's vault has anti-flashloan protection. PancakeSwap’s CAKE token isn’t vulnerable to flash loan attacks. Unlike vulnerable tokens, CAKE token minting is predefined, and can’t be adjusted in a single transaction. Ownership cannot be transferred outside of MasterChef contract. PancakeSwap’s other smart contracts, like IFO and AutoPool, are protected as well; they prevent other contracts from interacting with them, reducing the scope of vector attacks. ## Can I join the PancakeSwap team? Check the [Become a Chef](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/hiring/become-a-chef) area for information on open positions we're looking to fill. We advertise new positions we're looking to fill on our [official social media channels](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/contact-us/telegram), so be sure to follow us to get the latest hiring information. ## What is SYRUP? SYRUP was a part of the staking process earlier in PancakeSwap's life. SYRUP was discontinued when a security issue was discovered and is no longer a part of PancakeSwap. ## I can't find an answer for my question. Where do I find an answer? If you can't find what you're looking for in PancakeSwap's documentation, ask your question on [PancakeSwap's official social media platforms](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/contact-us/telegram) and someone will do their best to help you out. # I need help ![](/files/YBUPzoKs4H5dDQez1nwf) If you find yourself stuck, if something isn't working like it's meant to, or you're not sure if something has worked or not, this help section may be able to, well, help. ## Help sections We have broken the help topic down into sections to help you find what you're after.

This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping. > > the transaction cannot succeed due to error: execution reverted: pancakerouter: insufficient\_output\_amount. You're trying to swap tokens, but your slippage tolerance is too low or liquidity is too low. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Solution" %} 1. Refresh your page and try again later. 2.

Lastly, try inputting an amount with fewer decimal places. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Reason" %} **This usually happens when trading tokens with low liquidity.** That means there isn't enough of one of the tokens you're trying to swap in the Liquidity Pool: it's probably a small-cap token that few people are trading.

We really don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing. There currently isn't a simple way to solve this issue from the PancakeSwap website: you'll need to interact with the contract directly. You can add liquidity directly via the Router contract, while setting amountAMin to a small amount, then withdrawing all liquidity. **Approve the LP contract** Head to the contract of the LP token you're trying to approve.\ For example, here's the ETH/WBNB pair: 1. Select **Write Contract**, then **Connect to Web3** and connect your wallet. ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_sNkO1gcOOJXkduDEUzbExKE2mNxBOR0f86Lpp3BBuPbIcmAHsfuvpF-hKqRn4oID5QzdGkk_1dTHkPuCmE50vpNNZxEqoM5nPmE_12k3-8Q8YYoRYqJ_VGjxJ03YPRuVQ1O5ME) 2.

Select **Write Contract** and **Connect to Web3** as above. 2. Find **addLiquidity** or **removeLiquidity** (whichever one you're trying to do) 3. Enter the token addresses of both of the tokens in the LP. 4. In **liquidity (uint256),** enter the uint256 number which you got from "balanceOf" above. 5.

This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping. Try again, but confirm (sign and broadcast) the transaction as soon as you generate it. This happened because you started making a transaction, but you didn't sign and broadcast it until it was past the deadline. That means you didn't hit "Confirm" quickly enough. ### Pancake: K > The transaction cannot succeed due to error: Pancake: K. This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping. Try modifying the amount on “To” field. Therefore putting "(estimated)" symbol on “From”. Then initiate the swap immediately. ![](/files/-MjyBoU12SMMPjZp2x76) This usually happen when you are trying to swap a token with its own fee. ### Pancake: TRANSFER\_FAILED > The transaction cannot succeed due to error: execution reverted: Pancake: TRANSFER\_FAILED. Make sure you have 30% more tokens in your wallet than you intend to trade, or try to trade a lower amount. If you want to sell the maximum possible, try 70% or 69% instead of 100%.\ Caused by the design of Restorative Rebase tokens like tDoge or tBTC.\ [Understand how restorative rebase tokens work](https://btcst.medium.com/stp-8-restorative-rebase-b4fbbdfd96c). Another possible cause of this issue is the malicious token issuer just suspended the trading for their token. Or they made selling action only possible for selected wallet addresses. Please always do your own research to avoid any potential fraud. If the token you are trying to swap but failed with this error code is coming from an airdrop, that is most likely a scam. Please do not perform any token approval or follow any links, your fund may be at risk if you try to do so. ### Transaction cannot succeed Try trading a smaller amount, or increase slippage tolerance via the settings icon and try again. This is caused by low liquidity. ### **Price Impact too High** Try trading a smaller amount, or increase slippage tolerance via the settings icon and try again.

The projects affected will likely not work with the V2 router: they will most likely need to create new versions of their tokens pointing to our new router address, and migrate any existing token holders to their new token. We recommend that any projects which created such tokens should also make efforts to prevent their users from adding them to V2 LP.

This error has happened because you have sold or transferred SYRUP tokens. SYRUP is minted in a 1:1 ratio to CAKE when you stake in the CAKE-CAKE Syrup Pool. SYRUP must be burned at a 1:1 ratio to CAKE when calling leaveStaking (unstaking your CAKE from the pool), so if you don't have enough, you can't unstake from the pool. {% embed url="" %} ### Out of Gas error > Warning!

This gives the PancakeSwap smart contract permission to swap that token from your wallet.** The approval transaction allows PancakeSwap permission to swap the token from your wallet. You have to complete an approval transaction for every token you want to swap using PancakeSwap. Here is a guide on how to complete an approval transaction: 1. Enter your swap details.
2. Select “Confirm swap” after reviewing swap details.
3. In your wallet app or wallet extension, approve the spending for the token you are swapping. Allow the token to be used for swapping in your wallet. *Your wallet may require you to enter the number of tokens you want to approve. Please enter a number that is greater than or equal to the number of tokens you are swapping.*
4. After the approval, another transaction will appear which asks you to confirm the swap.
5. Once the swap is confirmed, the transaction is submitted to the blockchain (pending).
6. You will see “Success” and a green checkmark on the screen when the transaction is successfully completed.
The token approval lasts for a certain period of time, the token will have to be approved again later with a signature request. An approval signature does not require a network fee. # Fixing Stuck Pending Transactions on MetaMask How to "unstick" any pending transactions that are stuck in your MetaMask ![](/files/c9DpnksxIUQ9KkKc7DbZ) If your transaction is stuck on pending in Metamask, and the “Cancel” button isn’t helping, you might need to use this method to clear your backlog. This method works by essentially overwriting the stuck transaction with another, higher-priority transaction. ### **1. Enable Customized Transaction Nonce** 1\. Open your MetaMask plugin. ![](/files/lwrYqy4bedy0Y63OBZPJ) 2\. Click on the colorful circle icon on the top-right and click **Settings** from the dropdown menu. ![](/files/55CdrSJBuG4uFHNBJiBj) 3\. In the Settings menu, select **Advanced**. ![](/files/ckzvAWkf80pqDW2ateyO) 4\. Scroll down until you see **Advanced gas controls**. Toggle this to ON. ![](/files/fEHLiu8IYfWfYBiAIKW1) 5\. Still in Advanced settings, keep scrolling until you see **Customize transaction nonce**. Toggle this to ON. ![](/files/fEHLiu8IYfWfYBiAIKW1) ### **2. Find Your Stuck Transaction** We’re now going to find the transaction that’s stuck, and make a note of the “nonce”. That’s a kind of identifier, which we’ll re-use later. ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/xKBEnt5a62c5Wzg_MCLIbVUWuL4fws1ohBAX9LAkGS71vslHk7QuMF24jAfkAdmsLunPVfT9c3FxCmGar5z7jNZnd4WMgzQsoxxbYw1Lp59Az5kG72COn0JblFXktHbmgMnF1LeY) 6\. Go back to the top page of MetaMask. In the “Assets” tab, find the token type of your stuck transaction (in this case, CAKE). ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/9qVjhK1kEKDL8l4TTdOFo4o547PDIIeQpCCY18gPyaUFJrpFbyYhMfBQ1CRzjjrllgrcqVbwkhxKCZBNlIad8J1yCpMVhsBKjIAcwfsQHQb7jnl2RD2ufQU-zNEn2Hn2g4LGvYDU) 6\. In the token’s menu, find your **Pending** transaction in the Queue area. Click on your transaction for more details. ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/HMd5iKjIvm-f7Xi7xtecTsq56x1i15GjUkwCm5Z_83xMfOXDd2jabcCDyUwELf51IHseEeCk2WnvWfHwTSUlFnLAJrmjkkOfm_fA5fimgdABnYfdjmBxxst8TOaUJUhc2iO_CN-k) 7\. Look for the **Nonce** entry, and take note of this number. ### **3. Overwrite the Stuck Transaction** Now we’re going to make a new transaction to replace the stuck one. We’ll customize the Nonce number, so that it’s the same as the one that you just wrote down. ![](/files/-M_QfJwbI-p6skTud7_o) 8\. Create a new transaction to replace your stuck transaction. This time around, increase the **Transaction Fee**. Here we’ve increased it from 9 to 20. This will make it more likely for your transaction to be added to a block. ![](/files/-M_Qft-wFWL0NENZfvV_) 9\. On the confirmation page, make sure your Gas Price is now at your new, higher amount. 10\. Find the **CUSTOM NONCE** entry and change the nonce to the number you wrote down in step 7. Now click Confirm. ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/PYhYm2ro0SVzerBo5qguFIPOYl0DjLSfl0JT8UdfN3T4i-0hjBq-CQvr-UA0bSyG-ZndrWmLGptfZUcnGBlvUk118GGZn7ciDNaC4hmfovH9v_M5XMIYmkAmB-Fr-6TTpYnnDX1p) 11\. Your new transaction should now be accepted into a block. To check, open MetaMask and click the **Activity** tab. ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Iw3e0YP4ORhPgw8-MNxvzlDlfgG5nD226P4ixiziPC_9j3_LfU3o1-_LA2yDmegbRw5x9Sgk3RACFJJkyJDrFJA1j2J93H21uGhhWabkdDQUHsU_oVdkZVQTTWaQPzXHAWClpsb4) 12\. Your completed transaction should show at the top of your Activity list. If it still says “Pending” in orange you’ll need to wait a little longer, or try the process again with an even higher transaction fee (gas price). Since no wallet can create two transactions of the same nonce, if the replacement transaction you make is successful, your stuck transaction will be canceled.
