Dear CAKE holders, after working closely with the Binance team for the past several months, we’re extremely excited to reveal the beta launch of the PancakeSwap Mini Program in the Binance mobile application! Starting from today, access to PancakeSwap will gradually open to Binance mobile application users.

This also marks PancakeSwap as the first DeFi project to launch a Mini Program within the Binance ecosystem utilizing the first version of the Binance DeFi Wallet. While we are gradually adding more of our features to the Mini Program, we believe that this will be an important step for PancakeSwap to further increase our user base, liquidity, trading volume, and impact within the BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

What is a Binance Mini Program?

The PancakeSwap Mini Program is directly accessible from the latest Binance mobile application and offers a seamless user experience for Binance users to try, experience and fall in love with our decentralized platform. Together with the Binance DeFi Wallet, users can create a wallet, transfer funds and use PancakeSwap — all within the Binance mobile application.

What is the Binance DeFi Wallet?

The Binance DeFi Wallet is a non-custodial decentralized Web3 wallet within the Binance application. Currently, the wallet limits transfers only to and from the Binance CEX spot wallet — it eliminates the need to copy, paste and check the wallet address for withdrawal from Binance CEX spot wallet and depositing back into it. At least for now, no more double, triple, quadruple address checking, sweaty hands and anxiousness for new users dipping a toe into DeFi waters!

Why is this important for PancakeSwap?

PancakeSwap is currently the most popular decentralized platform (in terms of number of users) but we are always looking for more ways to invite new users to our platform. With more users and their funds, we are able to further improve our core DeFi trading experience with deep liquidity of a wide set of assets. We will also be able to scale our other products beloved by our community.

While most DeFi users in the market should already have heard of or used PancakeSwap, imagine the potential of newcomers to crypto onboarded by Binance and its CEX. These new users may not have the experience of creating a Web3 wallet, adding liquidity, staking, trading a wide variety of assets, participating in decentralized IFOs, etc. The PancakeSwap Mini Program provides the best avenue to invite and educate these users to the DeFi experience.

Partnership with Binance 🤝

The partnership provides enormous strategic value to PancakeSwap as the gateway for Binance users to discover DeFi. The value goes beyond just simple numbers but enables unparalleled levels of collaboration between the best of CEX and DeFi.

As the first DeFi project team to launch a Binance Mini Program, we’ve had the opportunity to not only develop a best in class user flow and user experience but contributed to the overall experience of its Mini Program Marketplace and Binance DeFi Wallet.

This partnership will also bring enhanced access and diversity of offerings unavailable up to this point. An example, easily envisaged, are BEP-20 assets that are not listed on Binance CEX, but will still be available to users within the Binance app with a quick search and jump to the PancakeSwap Mini Program. Imagine the value and users this will bring!

How do I access the PancakeSwap Mini Program in the Binance App?

Starting from today, access to PancakeSwap will gradually open to all Binance users through the Binance app. Users can simply swipe down 👆⬇️ from the top of the Binance app homepage to find the Mini Program Marketplace where you will see PancakeSwap. Alternatively, you can search from the Mini Program Marketplace.

Within the PancakeSwap Mini Program, you can easily access the Binance DeFi Wallet and there will be instructions thereon.

How come I cannot find it?

Access to the Mini Program is currently open to only a small portion of Binance users and will ramp up to eventually reach all Binance users. Try accessing it within the next few days! If you can’t wait to experience the Mini Program, try asking your fellow CAKErs if they have access to it and if they do, they can share the access QR code for you to scan and enter; or reach out to our community managers.

Much more to come!

We believe this is merely the beginning of a long term value generating collaboration. Currently, we have only integrated the swap* feature in the Mini Program, which is one of the most important features for Binance users to buy tokens not listed on its CEX. In the next months, we will continue to work tirelessly to add more and more features to the Mini Program including core functions like liquidity provision, syrup pool and many other functions!

We will also be initiating a launch event for new users who connect with us through the Mini Program & the Binance DeFi Wallet. Please stay tuned for the announcement once the Mini Program is open to all Binance users!

Other than more features and the launch event, we will also be working continuously with the Binance team to improve the user flow of its Binance DeFi Wallet. If you have any feedback, questions or suggestions, please let us know on Twitter, in our Telegram group, in our Discord server, or over in our growing Reddit community!
