    Decentralized exchanges often use internal tokens: as a rule, they are used for conducting exchange transactions. The second task of such coins is to provide access to additional platform features (farming, staking, voting for project development directions, etc.). The PancakeSwap exchange also has an internal token. Its ticker is CAKE. In the article, we will consider the main ways to buy this coin.

    What is PancakeSwap

    CAKE Token appeared on September 20, 2020, simultaneously with the launch of the PancakeSwap exchange. The developers of the token and the exchange still remain anonymous, although the well-known platform Binance actively supported PancakeSwap at launch.

    In addition, PancakeSwap and the CAKE token operate on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) using the BEP-20 standard protocol.

    Within PancakeSwap the use of CAKE is quite traditional: the token is required to conduct transactions on the exchange and can be used by holders as a service management cryptocurrency. At the initial stage of the development of the platform, it was assumed that CAKE would have unlimited emission, but in May 2022, the community supported changes to the project’s tokenomics. In particular, the emission of tokens was limited to 750 million coins.

    How to buy PancakeSwap
    Rumor has it that the creators of the exchange love pancakes, that’s why they are mentioned in the name of the service

    Where to buy PancakeSwap

    CAKE is a fairly popular coin: in addition to the native PancakeSwap, it is traded on many decentralized platforms, available through some payment systems and banks, such as Revolut, as well as on centralized exchanges, like Binance. We recommend using centralized exchanges to purchase CAKE, primarily for security reasons. Large trading platforms have international licenses and are required to pay attention to protection of user funds.

    In addition to increased security, centralized exchanges have high liquidity of traded assets and a large number of available options for buying cryptocurrency: by fiat money (USD, EUR) directly in the trading terminal, bank transfers, Visa/Mastercard, P2P and other services.

    PancakeSwap Buying Instructions

    The most profitable option for buying CAKE is to buy it on the centralized exchange. For example, let’s use the previously mentioned exchange Binance. To buy a PancakeSwap token on it, follow the step-by-step instructions:

    Decide on the level of risk

    The first step is to decide how much risk you can afford.

    Cryptocurrency investments are considered high-risk. If you are new to the crypto currency market, then it is important to remember the basic rules of the investor:

    • Do not buy cryptocurrency for all of your free money;
    • Don’t use borrowed money for investments if you are a beginner;
    • Do not buy cryptocurrency with the last money;
    • Invest only as much money as you can afford to lose.

    Choose a crypto exchange

    Centralized exchanges are considered the safest way to buy cryptocurrencies. The main task for the user is to choose a suitable one among a huge number of them. To decide on an exchange, you need to pay attention to several key indicators: the year of creation (the older the better), the availability of licenses, the amount of trading commissions and commissions for depositing and withdrawing cryptocurrencies and fiat, trading volumes, accessibility from the country of residence, real users reviews and so on.
