PancakeSwap might just be trying to get to the limelight again, because they’ve officially launched on Base. And honestly, it’s a smart move.
Base is buzzing right now. The network recently hit over $4.3 billion in TVL, and daily DEX volume is pushing past $1.6 billion. That kind of activity doesn’t happen by accident. People are moving, builders are building, and users are clearly showing up. So PancakeSwap choosing to launch its Infinity version on Base? That’s not random.
Infinity brings a new contract system that’s actually cheaper and more efficient. Creating a liquidity pool costs up to 99% less than before, and gas fees for swaps are down by nearly half. That might not sound like a big deal to everyone, but if you’re in a place where every dollar matters, like Nigeria, this kind of update is worth rejoicing over.
It’s also clear that PancakeSwap is done with the one-chain mentality. Between BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and now Base, they’re planting flags across the biggest ecosystems in DeFi. That’s not desperation, that’s strategy.
Some might say they’re just chasing relevance. Maybe. But if the product works and it helps real users interact with DeFi more affordably, who cares?
PancakeSwap Infinity on Base is live. It’s faster. It’s cheaper. And it’s launching right where all the DeFi heat is right now. Maybe they are chasing the spotlight — but they’re doing it the right way.
