PancakeSwap has announced an upgrade of its MEV Guard feature on BNB Chain, now supporting more popular crypto wallets to shield traders from harmful MEV attacks.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profits that can be extracted from blockchain users by controlling transaction order. These attacks include frontrunning and sandwich attacks, where bots or specialized traders see pending transactions and insert their own ones before and after to profit at users' expense. This often leaves regular traders with worse prices or failed trades. 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:** Uses 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. Coinbase One, a membership program offering features like zero-fee trading and priority support, now includes these PancakeSwap rewards as part of its platform benefits. The program requires members to verify their wallets and complete 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 divided by Total Volume, multiplied by $8,453) determines the exact amount. PancakeSwap sends rewards to verified wallets within two weeks after each period ends.
These exciting announcements showcase how PancakeSwap is taking bold steps to protect traders and reward loyal users in the competitive DeFi landscape. The platform continues to demonstrate strong momentum in the decentralized exchange market, reflecting increasing user adoption and trading activity across PancakeSwap's multi-chain ecosystem.
