We’re excited to launch a **$100,000 trading competition** in collaboration with **Vita Inu (VINU).** You can trade VINU, compete for amazing prizes, and win rewards while trading on the **[PancakeSwap Web interface](https://pancakeswap.finance/?inputCurrency=0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955&outputCurrency=0xfEbe8C1eD424DbF688551D4E2267e7A53698F0aa)** and the **[PancakeSwap Telegram Swap-Bot](https://t.me/pancakefi_bot)**.

We’re excited to launch the PancakeSwap Swap Bot on Telegram, building on the success of our Prediction Bot!

PancakeSwap Launches Swap Bot on Telegram: Trade Over 3,000 Tokens on BNB Chain

Since our inception in 2020, PancakeSwap has become a leading multichain decentralized exchange (DEX), spanning 9 chains, facilitating billions in trading volume, and empowering millions of users worldwide. Yet, the DeFi ecosystem still faces challenges, including high gas fees, the need for multiple native gas tokens, and fragmented liquidity across pools.

To address these issues and elevate your DeFi experience, we’re excited to introduce **[PancakeSwapX](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?chain=eth)** —a product designed to locate users better execution prices while providing a more accessible and efficient trading experience across multiple chains.

#### **What is PancakeSwapX?**

PancakeSwapX enhances your trading by aggregating liquidity from multiple sources, including PancakeSwap’s AMM, other DEXs, and external liquidity providers, locating users with better execution prices. With PancakeSwapX, you’ll also enjoy gasless swaps, a wide selection of tokens, and protection against MEV attacks—all with zero trading fees during the initial launch period. Initially launching on Ethereum and Arbitrum, PancakeSwapX will soon expand to more chains and tokens.

### **Key Features of PancakeSwapX**

#### 1\. Seamless Integration with PancakeSwap UI

PancakeSwapX is fully integrated into the existing **[PancakeSwap interface](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap)**, allowing you to continue trading without additional setup. When it locates better execution prices, it will automatically be selected as the primary source of liquidity.

![Screenshot 2024-10-14 at 09.24.00.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/7d5ff523172e1b0e02e90554e8d3647b.png)

#### **2\. Trade with Zero Fees at Launch**

At launch, PancakeSwapX will not charge trading fees for 150 tokens (including WETH, WBTC, USDT, USDC etc) on Ethereum and Arbitrum if your trade is routed through PancakeSwapX. If PancakeSwapX locates better execution prices, PancakeSwap will automatically route your trade there. However, if your trade isn’t routed to PancakeSwapX, standard PancakeSwap fees will apply. Be sure to verify the fee structure before confirming your trade.

**Please note** _that PancakeSwapX is not charging trading fees for specific pairs for a limited time at launch. After this period, PancakeSwapX trading fees may apply. Any future adjustments to fees will be communicated in advance._

#### **3\. Get a Better Execution Prices for Your Swaps**

PancakeSwapX aggregates liquidity from multiple sources to provide better execution prices:

- **Aggregated Liquidity:** PancakeSwapX aggregates liquidity from multiple sources, including PancakeSwap AMM pools, other DEXs, and external liquidity providers, for better execution prices.
- **Wide Range of Tokens:** PancakeSwapX supports over 150 tokens at launch (you can view the full list on UI under “manage tokens”). Even if a token isn’t available on PancakeSwap’s AMM pools, you can still trade it through PancakeSwapX.
- **MEV Protection:** PancakeSwapX protects you from front-running MEV bots, protecting the value of your trades.

#### **4\. Gasless Swaps – Trade with Zero Gas Fees**

Gas fees can be a significant barrier in DeFi, but PancakeSwapX eliminates this challenge with gasless swaps. Here’s how it works:

- **No Gas Fees on Failed Transactions:** With PancakeSwapX, you won’t pay gas fees on failed transactions.
- **No Need for Native Gas Tokens:** Trade seamlessly without needing the chain’s native token to cover gas fees.

With PancakeSwapX, users trade by signing and submitting off-chain orders, which external liquidity providers then fulfill by submitting on-chain transactions and covering the gas costs on their behalf. External liquidity providers build the gas costs into the swap price, allowing them to bundle multiple orders for more competitive pricing.

As a result, users don’t need to manage gas fees in native tokens or submit on-chain transactions. Additionally, failed or expired orders remain off-chain, ensuring no gas costs are incurred.

**Please note** _that users may still need to pay gas in some instances, such as when initially approving tokens and wrapping native network tokens._

#### **What does this mean for current Liquidity Providers?**

Liquidity providers on PancakeSwap AMM Pools will continue to earn trading fees and CAKE rewards. In contrast, external liquidity providers for PancakeSwapX will focus solely on trading to deliver better execution prices without receiving CAKE emissions. This ensures our liquidity providers retain unique benefits within the PancakeSwap ecosystem.

#### **Transitioning to PancakeSwapX: Retiring Market-Making Integration**

With the launch of PancakeSwapX, we will retire our **[market-making integration.](https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/pancake-swap-launches-market-maker-integration-on-bnb-smart-chain)** This decision allows us to focus on enhancing the PancakeSwapX experience and ensuring users benefit from improved liquidity aggregation and pricing.

#### **Open Source and Transparency**

PancakeSwapX is built on the open-source code base from UniswapX. Our codebase is also permissionless and open source. You can explore the PancakeSwapX code [**[here](https://github.com/pancakeswap/pancake-x-contracts)**].

#### **Future Expansion and Gasless Cross-Chain Swaps**

Starting with Ethereum and Arbitrum, PancakeSwapX will soon support additional chains and offer gasless cross-chain swaps, allowing you to trade seamlessly across multiple networks without worrying about gas fees.

Trade smart, swap freely—experience PancakeSwapX today!

**Disclaimer:** The term "better execution prices" in our marketing materials refers to the current offer of zero trading fees for specific pairs on PancakeSwapX for a limited time. This offer is subject to change and applies only to select trading pairs at launch. After the offer period, standard trading fees may apply. Market conditions and liquidity availability influence pricing and fees and may vary. Users are advised to verify the fee structure before completing any transactions. PancakeSwapX makes no guarantees regarding pricing, and all trading is conducted at the user's risk.

Introducing PancakeSwapX: Zero-Fee & Gasless Swaps on Ethereum and Arbitrum

# Q4 Roadmap AMA Recap

On October 10th, we held our Q4 Roadmap AMA in the PancakeSwap kitchen! If you missed it or want to review our discussion, keep reading!

This AMA featured a different format than usual. It began with an in-depth overview of Q3 before transitioning into our exciting plans for Q4. To wrap things up, Chef Kids summarized our recent emissions proposal.

If you want to relive the AMA, we recommend [watching the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROkjw47-Aa8&ab_channel=PancakeSwap) for a closer experience.

### **Let’s dive into what was discussed in the AMA!**

#### **Section 1: Q3 Overview**

**Hackathons**

One of the Q3 highlights was our participation in **two hackathons**—one at ETHGlobal Brussels and another online with Brevis. These hackathons drew much attention, with **64 innovative builds submitted and over $60,000 in prize money awarded**.

**PancakeSwap 4th anniversary**
In addition to the hackathons, we celebrated **PancakeSwap's 4th anniversary** at Token2049 with a community meetup, marking this milestone with some incredible achievements. PancakeSwap has now processed an astounding $836 billion in trading volume and has over 43 million unique wallet addresses.

**Product Launches**
The quarter also saw some important product launches, such as integrating our **Prediction product with Telegram Bot** , making it even easier for users to access DeFi on the go. We also introduced **PancakeSwap Quest** in beta, designed to boost user engagement through fun and interactive challenges. And let’s not forget the **EigenPie IFO**, our first IFO on Arbitrum, which saw over $15 million committed—a huge success as we expand across chains.

We continued expanding with **Zap**, which allows users to add liquidity with just one token. It is now available on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Ethereum.

**Emissions**
Over the past 12 months, **we’ve consistently maintained negative net emissions**, achieving a steady annual deflation rate of 1-2%, a key metric in maintaining the project's long-term sustainability.

#### **Section 2: Q4 Roadmap**

**PancakeSwap v4: Launching Soon**

While the launch was initially expected in Q3, additional improvements and comprehensive audits have delayed it slightly. The v4 launch will bring advanced trading tools like limit orders and TWAMM (Time-Weighted Average Market Making) and cost-saving features like Singleton and Flash Accounting. The launch is near, and more features will be added incrementally to ensure a smooth experience.

**New Trading Venue: A Game-Changer for Traders**

Details were revealed about the new trading venue that some users are already testing. The full rollout is expected in the coming weeks, and this new venue is set to enhance the trading experience and drive more volume to PancakeSwap.

**Multichain Expansion: More Chains, More Opportunities**

We remain committed to expanding to new chains, offering even more opportunities for our users, and increasing PancakeSwap’s presence across DeFi. Details will be revealed soon.

**Telegram Bot Updates: Enhancing the User Experience**

The Swap feature is being expanded to attract more retail users and improve accessibility to DeFi tools. This update will bring a more seamless and user-friendly experience, further widening PancakeSwap’s reach.

#### **Section 3: Emissions Proposal**

Chef Kids provided a concise overview of the emissions proposal, emphasizing our focus on balancing liquidity incentives with PancakeSwap's long-term sustainability. With PancakeSwap v4, developers will have new tools to enhance the platform, and traders will benefit from advanced features like limit orders and zero-slippage trades. V4 introduces dynamic fees and significant gas savings for liquidity providers, making liquidity provision more efficient and profitable.

These changes are designed to strengthen the entire PancakeSwap ecosystem, boosting trading volumes and increasing CAKE burns for greater sustainability.

Please check out the dedicated article on [our forum](https://forum.pancakeswap.finance/t/information-on-ecosystem-growth-and-emissions-adjustment/808) for a more detailed explanation of the emissions proposal.

- If you don't have CAKE, you can swap for it on **[Arbitrum PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?chain=arb)** or **[bridge](https://bridge.pancakeswap.finance/)** it from other chains to Arbitrum.
- Commit your CAKE once the IFO begins to receive a proportional share of EGP tokens.
- If the IFO is oversubscribed, you'll get a proportional amount of EGP tokens after a 1.5% participation fee, with unspent CAKE refunded. This fee contributes to weekly CAKE burns.

**Example:** If you committed 1,000 CAKE in a Basic IFO and the total amount committed by all participants is 10,000 CAKE, you will receive 5,000 EGP tokens (10% of the Basic IFO), minus a 1.5% fee on the excess committed funds. Any unspent CAKE can be claimed after the IFO.

2\. **Public IFO for veCAKE Holders (50% of Allocation - $30,000)**

As a veCAKE holder, you benefit from a lower participation fee of 1% for the IFO, and this participation also helps burn CAKE.
- If you don't have veCAKE, you can **[Lock CAKE](https://pancakeswap.finance/cake-staking)** to receive veCAKE on PancakeSwap.
- Use your veCAKE to access the IFO with the reduced fee.

**Note:** _When you lock CAKE to receive veCAKE, that locked CAKE cannot be used to participate in the Initial Farm Offering (IFO). This means you need to hold extra CAKE in addition to what you’ve locked for veCAKE to commit to the IFO. Hence, make sure you keep enough CAKE available after locking some for veCAKE so you can participate in the IFO._

For this IFO, users who natively lock CAKE as veCAKE on PancakeSwap will have a 2x iCAKE:veCAKE Ratio. In other words, for every veCAKE you have, you’re able to commit up to two times that amount; if you have 1,000 veCAKE, you’ll be able to commit up to 2,000 CAKE in the IFO. veCAKE Managers that lock CAKE as veCAKE will have a 1x iCAKE:veCAKE Ratio.

The iCAKE Ratio is a multiplier applied on a user’s veCAKE value, to arrive at the iCAKE value. Please refer to our **[Documentation](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/ifo-initial-farm-offering/icake#what-is-the-ratio-in-icake-calculation)** for more details.

 **Note:** As veCAKE only exists on BNB Chain, users will need to sync their credentials (e.g. veCAKE balance, PancakeSwap Profile) between BNB Chain and Arbitrum on the **[IFO page](https://pancakeswap.finance/ifo?chain=arb)**. Check out the detailed step-by-step guide on how to sync and participate in cross-chain IFOs **[here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/ifo-initial-farm-offering/how-to-participate-in-crosschain-ifos)**

The veCAKE balance snapshot used to decide users’ allocation will be taken at the end of the IFO, that is, **25 Sep 2024 1015am UTC**. It will still be possible to increase your allocation while the IFO is ongoing by locking more or extending your CAKE lock duration, though you will need to re-sync your new iCAKE balance.

**Example:** If you locked 100 CAKE for 4 years and have 100 veCAKE, for this IFO, you will have a 2x iCAKE ratio (2x iCAKE:veCAKE). This means with your 100 veCAKE; you'll be able to commit 200 CAKE to the IFO sale. If you commit 200 CAKE in a Public IFO and the total committed by all participants is 1,000 CAKE, you will receive 10,000 EGP tokens (20% of the Public IFO), minus a 1% fee on the excess committed funds. Any unspent CAKE can be claimed after the IFO.


#### Important Reminder

EGP tokens **will NOT be** available for trading before or during the IFO! Any EGP tokens circulating before the official IFO are fraudulent. Please verify the EGP contract address before making any trades. **Contract Address:** 0x7e7a7c916c19a45769f6bdaf91087f93c6c12f78

#### Restrictions

Participation may be limited in certain jurisdictions. Before participating, individuals are advised to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.

This new bot brings the excitement of our prediction market directly to your favorite messaging app, making it easier and more convenient to participate. To mark this special occasion, we're giving away $4,444 in rewards on September 22nd, our fourth birthday!

#### A New Way to Predict: Bringing Predictions to Your Fingertips

**[PancakeSwap prediction](https://pancakeswap.finance/prediction?token=BNB)** has always been a community favorite, allowing users to forecast BNB prices every 5 minutes. Now, with our **[Prediction Telegram Bot](https://t.me/pancakefi_bot)**, you can enjoy the same features as our web version, but with added convenience and accessibility. Whether you’re on the go or prefer Telegram, you have more ways than ever to engage with the market.

**Key Features:**
- **Supported Token:** BNB on BNB Chain
- **Round Duration:** 5 minutes
- **Fees:** 3% of each round’s total pot goes to the treasury, supporting buybacks, burns, and future development

#### How to Connect Your Wallet?

**1\. On Desktop**
You may only use a mobile wallet on your phone with Desktop Telegram mini app by scanning the QR code either via MetaMask or WalletConnect. You will need to confirm transactions and signings on your mobile.

**2\. On Mobile**
Use MetaMask or WalletConnect: You will be directed to MetaMask for transactions and signing. After signing, you will need to switch back to Telegram to continue.

_For a detailed guide on how to connect your wallet, please refer to this doc:_ **[https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/prediction/prediction-mini-app](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/prediction/prediction-mini-app)**

#### How the Prediction Telegram Bot Works:
At the initial launch, the Prediction Telegram app won't be available in the Telegram app store. Instead, users can access the product through a direct web link and by interacting with the Telegram bot. This means you'll need to use the provided link or bot to get started with the prediction features. _(Please note that the bot is currently in its beta phase.)_

**1\. Stay Mobile:** Open the **[PancakeSwap Prediction Telegram Bot](https://t.me/pancakefi_bot)** on Telegram.

**2\. Predict:** Choose " Up" if you expect the price to rise or " Down" if you think it will fall. Enter your prediction amount and wait for the round to close. If your prediction is correct, you’ll earn a share of the prize pool, multiplied by the round’s multiplier. (The minimum amount you can predict is 0.001 BNB.)

![Screenshot 2024-09-11 at 13.09.12.png](https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/strapi.space/909ae136aea485b6b02ed2542138c119.png)

**Example:** If BNB is currently priced at $520 and you predict it will rise in the next 5 minutes, open the Telegram bot, click " Up," and enter your amount. If the price increases to $525, you'll win a share of the prize pool based on your prediction.

Just like our web version, the Telegram bot offers an intuitive and straightforward way to place predictions —no need to navigate multiple tabs or log in separately.
