As part of the , 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:
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.
Yield farming
Boosts (from veCAKE) will be phased out across position managers, Syrup Pools, and farming activities between April 24 and May 7, 2025.
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%.
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.
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. These protocols will launch a redemption page on their interfaces, allowing users who have staked with them to redeem their xCAKE for CAKE on a 1:1 basis. Please refer to the respective veCAKE Managers’ announcements for more detail .
