PancakeSwap announced the upgrade of its MEV Guard feature on BNB Chain to expand support for popular crypto wallets, helping more traders protect their transactions from MEV attacks.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to the profits that can be extracted by managing the order of transactions on the blockchain. Such attacks, including frontrunning and sandwich attacks, allow bots and specialized traders to profit at the expense of other users by inserting their transactions before and after user transactions. This often leads to worse prices or failed trades for regular traders. PancakeSwap's MEV Guard acts as a shield against these harmful practices.
Key Features of the Enhanced MEV Guard
The expanded MEV Guard offers several important benefits to PancakeSwap users:
* **Secure Swaps:** Protects trades on BNB Chain from frontrunning and sandwich attacks. * **Fast, Reliable RPC:** Utilizes BNB Chain's ecosystem to provide stable, high-performance connections. * **Free One-Click Setup:** Requires no cost and minimal effort to activate. * **Multi-Wallet Support:** Now works with Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet.
Coinbase One CAKE Airdrop Program Details
From March 3 to May 26, 2025, verified Coinbase One members can earn CAKE tokens by trading on PancakeSwap. The program requires members to verify their wallets and reach at least $100 in trading volume during each two-week period. Trading can occur on Base, BNB Chain, or Arbitrum.
The $8,453 in CAKE tokens are distributed six times according to this schedule:
* Airdrop 1: March 3-17, 2025 * Airdrop 2: March 18-31, 2025 * Airdrop 3: April 1-14, 2025 * Airdrop 4: April 15-28, 2025 * Airdrop 5: April 29-May 12, 2025 * Airdrop 6: May 13-26, 2025
Each trader's share depends on their trading volume compared to all participants. The formula (User's Trading Volume / Total Volume, multiplied by $8,453) determines the exact amount. PancakeSwap sends rewards to verified wallets within two weeks after each period ends.
These announcements demonstrate how PancakeSwap is taking bold steps to protect traders and reward loyal users in the competitive DeFi landscape. The platform shows strong momentum in the decentralized exchange market.
