PancakeSwap V3 introduces several key innovations and features to improve capital efficiency, lower fees for traders, increase earnings for liquidity providers and enhance the overall user experience.
PancakeSwap V3 allows for capital concentration, enabling liquidity providers to focus their capital on specific price ranges rather than distributing it evenly across the entire price range. This concentration of capital where the majority of trading activity occurs can provide up to 4000x higher capital efficiency compared to V2, particularly for stablecoin pools. As a result, liquidity providers can earn significantly more fees on the same amount of liquidity.
Traders also benefit from lower trading fees in V3, as there are now 4 tiers of fees: 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25% and 1% compared to the fixed 0.25% fee in V2. The tiers cater to the needs of different trading pairs based on expected volatility and trading activity. Concentrating liquidity in active ranges also reduces slippage for traders. V3 also implements a smart router to find the best trading route across V3, V2 and StableSwap pools.
For liquidity providers, the ability to choose fee tiers, customize price ranges, create non-fungible liquidity positions and concentrate capital provides more flexibility and potential to maximize earnings. V3 also introduces active liquidity farming, which rewards users in CAKE tokens when prices fall within the price ranges of their active liquidity positions. Other features include a VIP trading rewards program and position manager for easy single-click deposits.
One of the newest and most innovative features added to PancakeSwap is the Position Manager. It introduces auto-compounding of rewards, thus all fees and rewards earned by the liquidity position are automatically compounded back into the pool. This exponentially grows a provider’s position over time through the power of compound interest. Furthermore, the Position Manager handles gas fees and position rebalancing automatically, mitigating the risk of impermanent loss. Providers can supply liquidity in concentrated price bands to maximize fees from high trading volumes and choose strategies optimized for their risk tolerance.
