    4. Decentralized exchange PancakeSwap has reported $836 billion in cumulative trading volume and a total value locked (TVL) of about $1.72 billion in four years of operation.

    PancakeSwap's Current Achievements

    As of September 20, PancakeSwap held about $1.72 billion in total value locked (TVL), which has decreased from an all-time high of $7.16 billion on May 4, 2021, according to DefiLlama. On March 30, PancakeSwap’s TVL was about $2.42 billion and has been dropping since.

    The exchange, which operates on an automated market maker (AMM) model, said it serves over 43 million cumulative unique addresses.

    PancakeSwap v4 Update

    PancakeSwap announced it will release PancakeSwap v4, a major update expected to enhance user experience and scalability. v4 aims to build on PancakeSwap’s foundation with liquidity provision and interoperability improvements.

    Speaking to Cointelegraph, Chef Kids, head of PancakeSwap, explained:

    "With PancakeSwap v4, we aim to tackle major shortcomings in existing automated market makers, inflexible pricing models, limited trading features compared to centralized exchanges, impermanent loss for liquidity providers, and high on-chain gas fees."

    Traders are expected to benefit from dynamic fee tiers, advanced trading tools, and reduced gas fees, improving their overall experience and lowering trading costs.

    Expansion to New Chains

    The protocol has released its v4 white paper this year, a $500,000 developer program designed to attract top builders in the buildup to the official launch of v4. As part of this program, PancakeSwap said it is currently hosting a v4 Hookathon on Dorahacks, with submissions open until September 30.

    Launched in 2020, PancakeSwap is available across nine chains: BNB Chain, Ethereum, Aptos, Polygon zkEVM, ZKsync Era, Arbitrum One, Linea, Base, and opBNB.

    Kids said PancakeSwap plans to expand its DEX to more chains. By focusing on product-market fit, PancakeSwap has identified that many DEXs lack functionality and user experience. By improving accessibility and trading efficiency on emerging networks, Kids said PancakeSwap can fill a crucial market gap.

    With improvements in user experience and increased trading volumes, PancakeSwap may not only strengthen its market position but also attract new users, ensuring greater revenue for the protocol.
