PancakeSwap Offers $8M Interface Fee Refund to Uniswap User

As a researcher with extensive experience in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, I’m closely monitoring the latest developments between Uniswap and PancakeSwap. The latter’s recent announcement of a $8 million fee reimbursement initiative for traders dissatisfied with Uniswap’s higher fees is an intriguing move.


To entice Uniswap users, Decentralized Exchange (DEX) PancakeSwap offers a daring incentive: up to $8 million in trading fees refunds.

Chef Mochi, the chief of PancakeSwap, announced a new project designed for traders who evenly distribute their trading activities between Uniswap v3 and PancakeSwap v3. This initiative will run from May 16 to August 15.

Uniswap Labs announced in April an increase in interface fees from 0.15% to 0.25%. This decision has left some traders displeased, leading them to consider exiting the business. In contrast, PancakeSwap will capitalize on this situation by offering lower fees, more competitive prices, and a fee redistribution model.

As a crypto investor, if I want to take part in the specific event, I need to meet certain requirements. Firstly, I must have held a minimum of $5,000 worth of WBTC and/or WETH trading pairs on Uniswap’s Ethereum platform between January 1 and March 31. Once I’ve confirmed that I meet this condition, I will then need to verify my eligibility using the Dune dashboard provided by PancakeSwap. After completing this step, I can move forward with any further instructions or requirements outlined in the event details.

PancakeSwap functions on the Binance Smart Chain, offering lower fees compared to Uniswap’s Ethereum version that comes with higher transaction costs. By implementing this fee advantage, PancakeSwap aspires to capture a larger market share and rank sixth among Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) in terms of daily trading volumes.

Additionally, Uniswap encounters regulatory risks, leading to a Wells notice from the SEC causing a 15% decrease in UNI. The market reaction and investor sentiment are significantly influenced by this development.

PancakeSwap’s fee refund program aims to attract Uniswap users who are displeased with rising fees, providing them with a competitive edge during periods of regulatory uncertainty.
