StableSwap on PancakeSwap is a feature to trade stable pairs with a lower slippage based on an invariant curve slippage function. It is designed to swap specific assets that are priced closely – such as USD stablecoins (e.g. HAY, BUSD and USDT) or liquid staking tokens (e.g. stkBNB and BNBx).
The StableSwap is an implementation of Curve Finance’s AMM on PancakeSwap. It adds linear invariant constant sum curve (x+y=k) on top of the constant product formula (x*y=k) to keep prices more equal as long as the liquidity pool is not extremely unbalanced. As a result, since StableSwaps are restricted to similarly priced assets, impermanent loss is not as much of a concern (except in extreme depeg cases) and the slippage is lower than normal AMM which just uses the constant product formula.
When you conduct a Swap (trade) on the StableSwap you will pay lower trading fees, than the usual 0.25% on normal PancakeSwap AMM. The fee attribution is broken down as follows:
50% to the LP as rewards
40% to CAKE buyback and burn
10% to the PancakeSwap Treasury
