PancakeSwap Launches Version 4 with Four Key Features to Make On-Chain Trading Cheaper and More Efficient
PancakeSwap is set to launch its highly anticipated version 4 (v4) later this year, introducing four key features that aim to improve on-chain trading for users. The popular decentralized exchange (DEX) will roll out v4 on both the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks in the third quarter, offering improved pricing, reduced gas consumption, and lower deployment costs.
According to Chef Mochi, the head developer at PancakeSwap, the new version will address the shortcomings of current AMMs (Automated Market Makers). These include limited pricing models for assets, lack of CEX-level execution functions, impermanent loss for liquidity providers, and high on-chain gas fees for users.
One of the main features of v4 is the addition of hooks, or externally deployed contracts that allow developers to add customizable add-ons to the platform. These add-ons enable the charging of different types of fees for trades and the execution of various trading orders (such as limit or market orders). Hook creators can choose to keep these fees for themselves or distribute them to stakeholders.
In an effort to provide better pricing for listed assets, PancakeSwap v4 will also offer multiple types of liquidity pools through custom pool types. This will help stabilize token prices during times of high demand or selling, ensuring they are accurately priced during periods of market stress.
Additionally, the introduction of Singleton will merge all pools into a single contract, resulting in a massive reduction of the deployment cost by 99%. This, in turn, will also lower the gas fees for users, as there will be no need to transfer tokens between separate contracts for each trade.
Another important feature of v4 is the implementation of flash accounting, which allows for the settlement of multiple transactions collectively, reducing gas consumption. This is particularly beneficial during times of market volatility when gas fees tend to surge, making it expensive for users to conduct trades.
The v4 launch will take place in the third quarter of this year and will be available on both the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks. PancakeSwap currently holds $2.4 billion worth of tokens locked in liquidity pools and other services, with a daily trading volume of $1.7 billion, according to DefiLlama data.
