PancakeSwap: The DeFi Super-App's Expansion to Ethereum L2s

Chef Mochi is the CoFounder and Head Chef of PancakeSwap.

In this episode, we review PancakeSwap, the DeFi super-app and its expansion to Ethereum L2s. PancakeSwap has remained the most dominant DEX on BSC but in the past year, it has strategically begun to expand its reach to L2s and other chains such as Arbitrum, zkSync Era, Base, and Linea. Chef Mochi is a legendary builder in DeFi and one of the only original founders from the 2020 class who stuck with his protocol and continues to aggressively build the most consumer-friendly DeFi products. We cover every product: PancakeSwap V3, On-Chain Perps V2, liquid staking, yield farms, PancakeSwap Protectors game, and the plan in motion for CAKE tokenomics, expected to make its supply deflationary.

Everything you need to review with PancakeSwap before the next crypto bull run!
