veCAKE Staking and IFO Allocations

Last updated 21 days ago

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 .

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?

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.

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 number of iCAKE you have on the IFO page .
