PancakeSwap launches on Ethereum layer-2 solution, Base

PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX), is launching on Base, an Ethereum(ETH) layer 2 scaling network incubated by Coinbase, according to an update on Aug. 30.

Initially, this integration will offer PancakeSwap’s swapping and liquidity provision functions. Following that, an upcoming release will introduce the farming feature, permitting users to stake liquidity provider (LP) tokens in exchange for PancakeSwap’s native CAKE tokens. Importantly, users will retain their positions in the original LP tokens.

Base is now PancakeSwap’s eighth platform, highlighting the DEX’s multi-chain strategy.

While initially established on BNB Chain, the DEX has deployed on several blockchains, including Ethereum, Aptos (APT), Polygon (MATIC) zkEVM, and others.

Developed through a collaboration between OP Stack and Optimism(OP), Base seeks to address critical issues confronted by crypto users, such as steep gas fees and sluggish transaction speeds.

After launching to the public on Aug. 9, Base has rapidly grown, trailing Arbitrum but surpassing Optimism in daily transactions. At this pace, PancakeSwap is the second-largest DEX after Uniswap.

In the realm of crafting written content, three critical elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity serves as the gauge for textual intricacy. Meanwhile, burstiness is the measure of sentence diversity, assessing the ebb and flow of sentence length and complexity. Lastly, predictability indicates the likelihood of anticipating the subsequent sentence. In human-authored content, you often encounter bursts of creativity, with a mosaic of lengthy, intricate sentences interspersed with concise ones. On the contrary, AI-generated content tends to maintain a more consistent rhythm. In light of these considerations, for the upcoming content I’m about to request from you, it’s imperative to strike a balance. We need a significant degree of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Additionally, please adhere to the use of the English language exclusively. Now, let’s reimagine the following text: Speculation has arisen from Bloomberg
