After a successful launch on BNB Chain, we’re excited to announce that PancakeSwap Infinity, our most powerful DEX upgrade yet, is now live on BASE, one of the fastest-growing Ethereum Layer 2 networks.
What is PancakeSwap Infinity?
PancakeSwap Infinity is a major upgrade of the PancakeSwap DEX platform, built to meet the needs of a wide range of DeFi participants. It features:
- Dual Pool Types for different liquidity styles
- Customizable, dynamic fees powered by smart contract “Hooks”
- Gas-saving tech to keep fees low
- Open-source code for builders to innovate freely
Liquidity Options That Fit Your Style
BASE liquidity providers can pick from two pool types:
- CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM): Provide liquidity within a price range, boost capital efficiency, and reduce slippage. Great if you want hands-on control.
- LBAMM (Liquidity Book AMM) offers a simpler experience with zero price impact trades. Liquidity is placed in bins, and trades within each bin happen without changing the price.
Whatever your style, Infinity has a pool for you.
Fees That Flex, Thanks to Hooks
PancakeSwap built a dynamic fee Hook that automatically adjusts trading fees based on market conditions. When the market is calm, fees stay low to keep trading smooth and affordable. But during high volatility, fees increase to discourage arbitrage attacks and better protect liquidity providers (LPs).
This is just one example of what Hooks can do. Hooks are customizable smart contract modules that let developers build unique features to tailor liquidity pools and trading behavior.
With Hooks, you can design:
- Trader incentives like discounts based on volume or token holdings
- Innovative pool reward schemes and bonus mechanics
- Automated liquidity strategies and more
PancakeSwap Infinity is open-source and ready for developers on BASE to start building with Hooks. Whether you want to craft custom fees or automate liquidity moves, the tools are here.
Plus, the CAKE Emission Program rewards builders and liquidity providers to help grow the ecosystem. Jump in with our GitHub, whitepaper, and developer docs; the playground is yours.
Gas Savings Built for Layer 2 Efficiency
One of PancakeSwap Infinity’s biggest design lies in its infrastructure improvements, specifically around gas cost reductions. This is a perfect match for the BASE ecosystem, where low-cost transactions are a core benefit.
- Singleton Contract Architecture slashes pool creation costs by up to 99%
- Native token swaps save around 50% gas on ETH trades vs ERC-20 tokens
- ERC-6909 token standard cuts down frequent interaction costs
This means faster, cheaper DeFi for everyone, whether you’re trading or providing liquidity.
Smarter Trading: The Universal Router
Infinity isn’t just for LPs, it’s a win for traders too! PancakeSwap’s Universal Router works behind the scenes to find you the best routes by routing your trade seamlessly across PancakeSwap v2, v3, and Infinity pools.
No matter where liquidity sits, you always get the smartest swap and the lowest slippage, all while saving gas thanks to native token swaps.
