Pancakeswap

PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange that allows you to trade cryptocurrencies and tokens without a centralized intermediary, keeping custody of your tokens all the while. It is built on automated smart contracts deployed on Binance Smart Chain, the blockchain platform run by crypto exchange Binance.

Even though Binance operates a centralized exchange service, it does not control or operate PancakeSwap—it was built by anonymous developers. The service looks and feels very similar to the popular Ethereum DEX, Uniswap. PancakeSwap is used specifically for BEP-20 tokens running on Binance Smart Chain, although it’s possible to bring over tokens from other platforms via Binance Bridge and “wrap” them as a BEP-20 token for use on the DEX.
