Monthly CAKE Emissions Vote!
CAKE holders, a new month means a new vote to reduce CAKE emissions!
The Vote!
Right now, although 40 CAKE is minted per block, only 25 CAKE per block enters circulation (emissions). From 40 CAKE minted,
- -18 CAKE is sent to a burn pool and burned on a weekly basis
- +10 CAKE goes to the CAKE Syrup Pool
- +12 CAKE goes to yield farms and lottery
One vote, three options:
❌ No change:
- 12 CAKE go to yield farms
- Total emissions = 22 CAKE per block (including Syrup Pool)
🔥 1 CAKE per block (8.4%) reduction to farms:
- 11 CAKE go to yield farms
- New total emissions = 21 CAKE per block (including Syrup Pool)
🔥🔥 2 CAKE per block (16.7%) reduction to farms:
- 10 CAKE go to yield farms
- New total emissions = 20 CAKE per block (including Syrup Pool)
Who can vote?
Anyone that had CAKE in their wallets, staked in a Syrup Pool directly through PancakeSwap, or held/staked their CAKE-BNB LP in the farm directly through PancakeSwap at the time of the snapshot (Block #5956574)
Why would I vote to reduce rewards?
In the short term, reducing the rewards may lower farms’ APY a little initially. However, if you’re a long-term CAKE hodler, you’ll understand the potential effect to the price that reducing the amount of CAKE in circulation may have. Supply and demand.
Issues trying to vote:
Currently, we’re using Snapshot’s UI, which has trouble processing all of the requests, and even more so the load when the PancakeSwap community all rush to vote at once!
- You have 48 hours to vote, no rush.
- If you are struggling to load the page on your computer, try it on mobile instead.
