PancakeSwap, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has officially done just that launched the expected version 3 (V3) on the Linea Mainnet.
According to the announcement, the partnership between PancakeSwap and Linea aims to provide a seamless trading experience with lower costs, higher liquidity provider returns and improved capital efficiency.
PancakeSwap V3 on Linea
Linea, formerly known as ConsenSys zkEVM, stands as a Layer 2 scaling solution powered by ConsenSys. Linea realizes higher transaction speeds and at the same time lowers gas costs ensuring security by using zero-knowledge proofs and maintaining full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence.
Developers can seamlessly create or migrate Ethereum apps without any code changes or smart contract rewrites. With native integrations of popular tools such as MetaMask and Truffle, Linea offers developers flexibility and scalability on the zkEVM.
The partnership has provided PancakeSwap users with an understanding of Layer 2 scaling solutions and the Linea platform, helping to drive the development and adoption of decentralized finance solutions.
According to the announcement, PancakeSwap v3 on Linea introduces two key features: advanced Swap and Liquidity Provision functionalities. These features allow users to trade tokens and participate in liquidity provision directly on the platform.
The core principle of PancakeSwap v3 is to maximize capital efficiency, allowing liquidity providers to concentrate their capital within specific price ranges where most trading takes place.
By optimizing the use of assets, liquidity providers can increase their revenues. PancakeSwap v3 allows liquidity providers to achieve a capital multiplier of up to 4000x compared to its predecessor, v2, maximizing returns.
While provision of Linea incentives to PancakeSwap has not been communicated at this time, PancakeSwap plans to share them, if provided, with various stakeholders including the CAKE community, CAKE strikers, projects contributing to the development of PancakeSwap and contributors to the ecosystem. The “Chiefs” of protocol concluded the announcement by saying:
We anticipate the exciting opportunities ahead as PancakeSwap v3 makes its momentous leap to Linea. We are happy to be able to work hand-in-hand with other projects, developers, builders and our vibrant community as we continue to push the boundaries of Multichain DeFi. Together we can foster innovation, drive adoption and shape the future of decentralized finance. We invite you all to join us on this remarkable journey as we unlock new opportunities and create a thriving ecosystem that benefits all involved.
