According to DefiLlama, who identifies the protocol as a fork of Uniswap v3, on its first day, PancakeSwap v3 collected around $83 million on the BNB chain and $4 million on Ethereum.

PancakeSwap has been slow to enter the Ethereum market, but BNB chain PancakeSwap v3 TVL has already outperformed BNB chain Uniswap v3 TVL by $11 million.

Furthermore, the PancakeSwap is his top DEX in Aptos, but this chain has yet to introduce v3. PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the BNB chain.

Additionally, the protocol helps users get the most out of their crypto assets through trading, yield farming earnings, lottery, prediction, and NFT collectible wins. PancakeSwap is the leading DEX for the BNB chain, with the highest trading volume on the market.

One of the most significant upgrades in PancakeSwap v3 is its concentrated liquidity feature, which allows users to focus their capital to drive volume and fees for trading pairs with high volatility. The platform states that this feature helps to provide better liquidity and tighter spreads while reducing trade fees.

Moreover, the PancakeSwap team explains that with the upgrade, users can look forward to faster and cheaper transactions across both the Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum networks:

“With PancakeSwap v3, we’re introducing a brand new value proposition that unlocks massive trading volume and liquidity for all traders, without compromise or limitation.”
