Community Farm Auctions
The first Community Auction is now over!
20 Projects bid CAKE to battle for the right to host a 1x farm for their token. As a result, a massive 57,380 CAKE will be burned!
The winning farms this round were:
- Babycake: BABYCAKE-BNB farm
- Binamon: BMON-BNB farm
- Metahero: HERO-BNB farm
- Wall Street Games: WSG-BNB farm
- MacaronSwap: MCRN-BNB farm
For projects, this gives a way to incentivize liquidity provision for your token’s pairs. For CAKE holders, the CAKE burned will contribute to the ongoing reduction of CAKE supply. If you’re a project looking to run a Farm, apply via the PancakeSwap Farm application form.

CAKE Emissions Reduction
On July 1st, the community voted to reduce CAKE block emissions by a massive 10%.
Now only 19 new CAKE are emitted every block, and including buybacks, in July the effective emission was about 17 CAKE per block.
Continuing our trajectory towards net negative CAKE emissions, we’re preparing to host another monthly vote to further reduce CAKE emissions:
- A big adjustment to farm rewards is being voted on now. Cast your vote now.
- If the above passes, another vote will be held to further reduce CAKE emitted per block.
👩🍳🕔 Still Cooking (Coming Soon)
As usual, we won’t be giving strict timelines for these tasks, but here’s a teaser of tasks that are in the works:
Long-Overdue Performance Improvements
As with any fast-growing project, as we’ve added more and more great stuff to PancakeSwap, we’ve also gathered a bit of technical debt.
We’ll be taking a short break from pumping out new features to spend a few weeks focusing on code maintenance and performance updates, so we can keep scaling efficiently without compromising on performance.
Prediction
- v0.2 of the Prediction beta is on its way, encompassing mostly performance and stability updates.
- Prediction leaderboard: find out how you stack up against the competition!
- Speaking of competitions… anybody interested in a prediction tournament? 🤔 Let us know on Twitter if you’re up for it!
Simple Liquidity (Zap)
The designs and smart contracts for the simple liquidity provision system are largely done and dusted, and we’re hoping front-end development may start work soon.
In case you missed it, we’re working on a simpler way to provide liquidity: Even if you’ve only got $200 of Token A and $300 of Token B, you’ll be able to deposit them all in a liquidity pool at once, and let the system rebalance your tokens to a 50/50 split for you. Available for select pairs.
