PancakeSwap expands its MEV Guard feature on BNB Chain, adding support for popular crypto wallets to protect traders' transactions from harmful MEV attacks.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to potential profits extracted by manipulating transaction order in the blockchain. These attacks include frontrunning and sandwich attacks, where bots or specialized traders insert their transactions before and after a pending transaction to profit. Regular traders often end up with worse prices or failed trades. PancakeSwap's MEV Guard acts as a shield against these practices.
Key Features of the Enhanced MEV Guard
The expanded MEV Guard offers several vital benefits to PancakeSwap users: * **Secure Swaps:** Protects trades on BNB Chain from frontrunning and sandwich attacks * **Fast, Reliable RPC:** Uses BNB Chain's ecosystem for stable, high-performance connections * **Free One-Click Setup:** Activation requires no additional cost or effort * **Multi-Wallet Support:** Now supports Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet
Coinbase One CAKE Airdrop Program Details
From March to May 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. The program requires members to verify their wallet and complete at least $100 in trading volume during each two-week period on Base, BNB Chain, or Arbitrum.
The $8,453 in CAKE tokens are distributed six times on 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 relative to others. The formula computes the exact amount by multiplying the user's trading volume by the total volume and $8,453.
These announcements demonstrate how PancakeSwap is taking steps to protect traders and reward loyal users in the competitive DeFi landscape. Strengthening MEV protection and introducing a new rewards program underscores the importance of these measures for achieving fair trade execution.
