The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape is continuously evolving, with various protocols emerging to meet diverse user needs. At the heart of this evolution lies innovation, which drives growth and expands the horizons of possibility. In line with this progress and our commitment to advancing the DeFi ecosystem, we are thrilled to announce our integration with PancakeSwap, one of the largest and most prominent protocols on the BNB Chain. This collaboration has led to the creation of Cakepie, a new SubDAO introduced by Magpie, designed to enhance the core functionalities of PancakeSwap's innovative veCAKE model. Through this initiative, we aim to extend the reach of DeFi, opening new possibilities for users and the broader community.
Understanding PancakeSwap
PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) operating across multiple blockchain networks. It allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without intermediaries or traditional financial institutions. As the largest platform on the BNB Chain, PancakeSwap is renowned for its three core features: swap, earn, and win. Users can instantly exchange assets, provide liquidity or stake tokens in Syrup Pools to earn rewards, and participate in lottery and gaming activities to win tokens or NFTs.
The Role of CAKE Token
CAKE is the native governance token of PancakeSwap. It serves multiple functions, including rewarding users who provide liquidity to the platform. By locking their CAKE tokens, users can enhance their yields and participate in PancakeSwap's governance processes.
Introducing veCAKE
veCAKE represents a locked, non-transferable version of the CAKE token. To benefit from voting and revenue-sharing advantages, users must lock their CAKE tokens as veCAKE within the PancakeSwap ecosystem.
Cakepie: A SubDAO for Maximizing CAKE Rewards
Cakepie was launched by Magpie to specifically support the long-term development of PancakeSwap. The primary goal of Cakepie is to accumulate CAKE tokens and lock them as veCAKE, thereby obtaining enhanced yields and governance power within the platform.
Cakepie offers CAKE holders an opportunity to earn boosted CAKE rewards as passive income. It also provides cost-effective voting power for PancakeSwap voters and allows liquidity providers to enjoy higher annual percentage rates (APR) without individually locking CAKE tokens as veCAKE.
How mCAKE Works
CAKE holders can maximize their rewards by converting their assets into mCAKE. Users can stake their mCAKE on Cakepie to receive a share of the platform's revenue in the form of additional CAKE tokens.
When users convert their CAKE tokens to mCAKE on Cakepie, the protocol immediately locks the converted CAKE as veCAKE on PancakeSwap. This mechanism enables CAKE holders to receive enhanced rewards through mCAKE. Additionally, it grants Cakepie governance capabilities and higher APRs on PancakeSwap.
Thanks to Cakepie's veCAKE holdings, liquidity providers can conveniently deposit their assets on the platform and benefit from increased rewards without needing to lock their CAKE individually as veCAKE.
The voting power accumulated through veCAKE is allocated to vlCKP holders, enabling them to efficiently participate in PancakeSwap's governance. CKP is Cakepie's governance token, which can be locked as vlCKP to access its benefits. Users holding vlCKP receive a portion of the platform's revenue and can influence PancakeSwap's governance, thereby maximizing their rewards. Note that users must wait 30 days for their vlCKP to fully unlock and convert back to CKP.
Benefits of Cakepie for the PancakeSwap Ecosystem
- For CAKE Holders: If you hold CAKE tokens, you can convert them to mCAKE. By staking mCAKE, you receive a share of Cakepie's revenue distributed in CAKE.
- For Liquidity Providers: Cakepie's veCAKE holdings allow it to offer enhanced passive income to depositors. This means even risk-averse users can enjoy higher returns without personally locking CAKE or managing veCAKE.
- For PancakeSwap Voters: Cakepie provides a cost-effective method to gain voting power on PancakeSwap. By leveraging Cakepie's accumulated veCAKE, users can purchase CKP tokens and lock them as vlCKP on Cakepie. This not only allows participation in PancakeSwap's governance decisions but also ensures a higher share of revenue. Additionally, Cakepie offers shorter lock-up periods compared to veCAKE.
The CKP Token Explained
CKP is Cakepie's governance and revenue-sharing token. By locking CKP as vlCKP, users can earn income from the platform and participate in the governance of both Cakepie and PancakeSwap.
Understanding vlCKP
Vote-Locked CKP, or vlCKP, represents the locked form of CKP tokens. When users lock their CKP on Cakepie, they receive an equivalent amount of vlCKP at a 1:1 ratio.
- Governance Rights: vlCKP enables active participation in Cakepie's governance, allowing users to shape the platform's future and decision-making processes.
- PancakeSwap Participation: vlCKP holders can participate in PancakeSwap's governance. Since they control Cakepie's accumulated veCAKE, they gain voting privileges in PancakeSwap's decisions.
- Revenue Sharing: Holding vlCKP generated from locking CKP allows users to earn passive income through dividends. A portion of Cakepie's revenue is designated for vlCKP holders, encouraging ongoing investment and engagement.
- Voting Incentives: vlCKP holders can benefit from Cakepie's bribery market by voting for partners seeking to increase their liquidity mining rewards on PancakeSwap.
