PancakeSwap aims to reduce cake supply and increase farming rewards

The PancakeSwap team has proposed a supply cap in addition to new features that will increase the utility of the Cake Token.

Decentralized financial application (DeFi) PancakeSwap has published a governance proposal outlining a roadmap for its native token, Cake.

  • The proposal, which passed with a 98.8% majority of 11 million votes, proposes to impose a cap of 750 million on the Cake token.
  • Currently, there are 295 million Cake in circulation. It is expected that the maximum supply will be in circulation within the next three to four years.
  • The roadmap also includes a plan to upgrade the Pancake staking system, creating vCake, bCake, and iCake to increase farming rewards, IFO benefits, and governance voting capabilities.
  • The goal of these new features is to get PancakeSwap users to use more Cake to force a reduction in circulating supply.
  • Pseudonymous members of the PancakeSwap team will discuss the new roadmap with the community during a Twitter space on Thursday at 13:00 UTC.
  • The application's native token has suffered like much of the cryptocurrency market this week, posting a 22.86% decline over the past 24 hours to trade at $4.02.
