PancakeSwap, one of the top decentralized exchanges, has made a remarkable achievement in 2024 as its trading volume has increased.
As per the data from DefiLlama, the trading volume has reached $310.6 billion, which is 179% higher compared to the previous year. This growth shows a strong position in the multi-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
This success is largely due to its expansion across nine blockchains, including BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, zkSync, Linea, Ethereum, Aptos, opBNB, and Polygon zkEVM.
These blockchain networks, especially Layer-2 solutions like Arbitrum, Base, and opBNB, offer faster and cheaper transactions, attracting more users to PancakeSwap.
PancakeSwap has also seen a boost in its Total Value Locked (TVL), reaching $2.17 billion, and over 14.38 million unique traders have used the platform. These numbers show that the platform is growing in both scale and popularity.
Several upgrades played a key role in PancakeSwap’s success this year. One significant upgrade is PancakeSwapX, which allows users to make fee-free, gasless swaps on Arbitrum and Ethereum.
Another important addition is the SpringBoard token launchpad, which helps launch tokens on the BNB Chain without any fees. Additionally, PancakeSwap launched AI-driven prediction markets on Arbitrum and introduced Telegram bots to streamline token swaps and predictions directly in Telegram.
The platform also upgraded its cross-chain capabilities with PancakeSwap Bridge, allowing transactions across eight different blockchains. Other improvements, like the Gauges Voting and veCAKE upgrades, have added to its flexibility and functionality.
As part of its strategy to ensure long-term stability, PancakeSwap burned 455.5 million $CAKE tokens, and it now has 1.79 million $CAKE holders worldwide. These efforts are aimed at maintaining the platform’s growth momentum as it moves into 2025, with plans for continued innovation and expansion across the multi-chain DeFi landscape.
