Hello CAKE holders! 🥞

We launched a new Syrup Pool and Farm with Carbon.

We held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Nobrac, the lead developer at Carbon to get to know more about the project! If you missed participating in the AMA, read this article and learn about their project. This time, a privacy-focused web3 browser.

What are PancakeSwap Pools?

Syrup Pools are the simplest way to earn tokens on PancakeSwap. You just need to stake your CAKE and relax while you earn tokens. It’s really that easy.

Additionally, Syrup Pools allow us to bring new and exciting projects to the PancakeSwap ecosystem, giving users the opportunity to earn tokens about these projects without the need to buy them — simply by depositing CAKE. New to Syrup Pools? No problem, you can check our docs here.🥞

What are PancakeSwap Farms?

Yield farming allows users to earn CAKE while supporting PancakeSwap by staking LP Tokens. Farms require you to trade two tokens to get LP Tokens, which you then stake in the Farm to earn rewards. This allows you to earn rewards while keeping a position in your other tokens.

We designed the product experience to be consistent across different blockchains. Therefore, if you are a seasonal farm user on BNB Smart Chain, you will feel right at home when farming on Aptos. If you are new to liquidity farming, check out our How to Use Farms guide to get started.
