Unlike traditional centralized exchanges, PancakeSwap adopts the Automated Market Maker (AMM) model. In this model, the completion of the transaction does not depend on the direct matching between the buyer and the seller, but is achieved through a liquidity pool. Users provide two cryptocurrencies to the liquidity pool. The liquidity pool determines the transaction price based on the preset algorithm, thus ensuring the immediacy of the transaction.

• In February 2021, with its low-cost model (such as V3 transaction fees varying between 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%, and 1%), it achieved rapid growth in trading volume and total locked value (TVL), becoming one of the largest decentralized exchanges in the industry with the largest trading volume.

• On July 2, 2024, PancakeSwap announced its support for USDT native transfers powered by Wormhole in its official blog.

In addition, PancakeSwap also announced a cooperation with Binance Pay, where users can directly make cross-chain payments through Binance Pay, further lowering the transaction threshold.
