⛽Gauges

We are transitioning from vCAKE to veCAKE for our governance system. Before the full migration is done, not all information on this page will be accurate.

How to apply for a gauge?

We welcome all protocols to apply for a gauge for your desired token pair - here’s the process:

Step 1: Refer to the application template on our governance forum

Step 2: Start a new topic on the forum in the ‘Gauges’ Category with the abovementioned format

Step 3: Discuss with PancakeSwap community members on the details of your proposal

Step 4: The Kitchen will review and add the gauge if it is appropriate

Step 5: If a gauge is malicious or detrimental to the PancakeSwap ecosystem, the PancakeSwap Core Team can reject / remove the gauge

Step 6: Once the gauge is added, veCAKE holders can start voting for the gauge in the same epoch

Step 7: Once the current epoch ends, and assuming the gauge receives some veCAKE votes, CAKE rewards will begin streaming to the underlying liquidity pool / position manager vault starting in the next epoch
