🔀Crosschain Swaps

Crosschain Swaps allow users to seamlessly swap tokens between chains — all within a single, streamlined transaction.

At launch, we will support Crosschain swaps between:

  • BNB Chain

  • Arbitrum

  • Base

📝 More chains will be progressively added over time.


🔍 How It Works

  1. User selects From / To chain and From / To token

  2. The PancakeSwap router computes the most efficient route

  3. Swaps are executed using PancakeSwap’s liquidity pools (v2, v3, Infinity, StableSwaps) on source and destination chains

  4. Bridging is handled via our partner protocol: Across


💸 Fees

  • PancakeSwap does not charge any fee for Crosschain transactions.

  • Fees are comprised of:

    1. Trading Fee: Incurred for swaps within liquidity pools on the source and destination chains

    2. Bridge Fee: Paid to relayers for bridging assets


🔗 What is Across protocol?

We’ve partnered with Across Protocol to power PancakeSwap’s Crosschain bridging.

Across is an intent-based Crosschain bridge that uses UMA’s optimistic oracle for verified settlement. With a decentralized network of 35+ relayers, Across provides fast, secure, and efficient asset bridging between chains.


🎯 What Are Intents?

Intents let users define their desired outcome without worrying about how it’s achieved.

Example Intents:

  • “Swap 1 ETH on Base for at least 3000 USDC on Arbitrum”

Without intents, a user would need to manually:

  • Bridge ETH to Arbitrum

  • Find a DEX with the best ETH → USDC price

Benefits of intent-based design:

  • Seamless UX

  • Faster transaction times

  • One-click, single transactions


🔐 Audits

We’ve conducted multiple audit rounds with respected names in the cross-chain security space:
