PancakeSwap Announces V4 Details, Promises DeFi Revolution
PancakeSwap has revealed the first details about its highly anticipated version 4 (v4) update. The news comes as the platform celebrates major milestones, including a cumulative trading volume of $836 billion and a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $1.72 billion.
Despite a drop from its peak of $7.16 billion in May 2021, PancakeSwap remains relevant in the market. The platform has over 43 million unique addresses in its four years of operation.
The upgrade to v4 is seen as a response to limitations affecting decentralized exchanges (DEXs) based on the automated market maker (AMM) model.
One of the major differentiators promised by v4 is the introduction of dynamic fees and advanced trading tools. These new solutions aim to significantly reduce transaction costs. In addition, they seek to offer a more efficient and attractive experience for traders and liquidity providers.
The project leader, known as Chef Kids, stated that v4 will not only improve the user experience but also bring innovative features that will facilitate liquidity provision and asset trading.
Among the main goals of PancakeSwap v4 are to increase capital efficiency and platform functionality. This can attract more participants and improve market depth, resulting in better price execution.

PancakeSwap is committed to continuing its expansion into new blockchains, consolidating its presence on a total of nine networks. According to the announcement, this strategy reinforces the platform’s commitment to improving accessibility and user experience on emerging networks, while also standing out in a decentralized market that often faces functionality and usability challenges.
With the improvements in v4, PancakeSwap is expected to further boost trading volume. This could have a positive impact on the protocol’s revenue. Additionally, the introduction of a more intuitive interface for liquidity providers has the potential to increase the number of participants, improving the overall efficiency of the platform.
In addition to the technological upgrade, PancakeSwap has launched a developer incentive program with $500,000 in prizes, as well as an ongoing hackathon. These initiatives aim to attract outstanding talent to contribute to the evolution of the platform, consolidating it as a reference in the decentralized finance sector.
