PancakeSwap Integrates Brevis ZK-Powered Hooks to Enhance Decentralized Trading Experiences

In a significant step toward improving decentralized trading experiences, PancakeSwap has announced the integration of two innovative features developed by Brevis

In a new development that promises to enhance decentralized trading experiences, PancakeSwap has announced the integration of two cutting-edge features—termed ‘Hooks’—from Brevis. These Hooks, the VIP Discount Hook and the Token Holding Fee Discount Hook, will be deployed on PancakeSwap Infinity and are designed to reward traders for their engagement and token holdings.

PancakeSwap Infinity is the platform’s next-generation perpetual trading engine. It is being built to combine the speed and capital efficiency of centralized exchanges with the transparency and decentralization of DeFi. As part of this vision, PancakeSwap is integrating Brevis’ ZK (zero-knowledge) powered infrastructure to introduce adaptive fee models that personalize trading costs based on verifiable user behavior—all while preserving privacy.

The two new Hooks are not mere promotional gimmicks but are powered by the technological backbone of Brevis’s zero-knowledge proof system. This allows PancakeSwap to verify trading behavior and token holdings off-chain without compromising user data—bringing a layer of intelligent UX to decentralized trading.

Hook 1: VIP Discount Hook — Rewarding the Active Trader

The VIP Discount Hook will dynamically adjust trading fees based on a user’s historical trading volume. Greater volume traders will be rewarded with progressively lower fees, functioning like a tiered loyalty program but powered by transparent on-chain logic.

Leveraging Brevis’ technology, PancakeSwap Infinity will be able to siphon a user’s activity from the chain and process it to apply appropriate fee reductions—no manual documents or centralized authority required. This level of automation will be crucial for an optimal user experience and a fairer reward structure for those contributing liquidity and volume.

Hook 2: Token Holding Fee Discount Hook — Power to the $CAKE Community

The second integration—the Token Holding Fee Discount Hook—will offer trading fee reductions to users who hold the native $CAKE token. This puts the token to further use beyond governance or staking, and will incentivize longer-term commitment to the PancakeSwap ecosystem while granting tangible, real-time benefits to loyal token holders.

This mechanism will also make $CAKE more appealing to new investors by tying it directly to measurable savings and perks on the trading platform. It’s a strategic step toward reinforcing token value through actual use-case benefits, aligning user incentives with ecosystem health.

The Power of Brevis’s Zero-Knowledge Proofs

What sets these features apart is the underlying ZK technology. Brevis enables PancakeSwap to verify data from multiple sources—such as a trader’s past activity or current token holdings—without needing to disclose that data. This will preserve the privacy of users while allowing the system to act intelligently and contextually.

In a DeFi landscape often criticized for having poor UX and clunky interfaces, Brevis’s contribution marks a turning point where protocols can start building context-aware, privacy-preserving features that respond to user behavior.

Final Thoughts: A New Era of Intelligent DeFi

With the launch of these two Hooks, PancakeSwap Infinity is moving closer to delivering a truly intelligent and user-centric DeFi platform. This partnership with Brevis not only elevates the platform’s technical capabilities but deepens community engagement through real-world incentives. As PancakeSwap Infinity continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative features and partnerships that push the boundaries of decentralized finance.
