PancakeSwap Enhances DeFi Trading with Brevis Hooks for Personalized Incentives

PancakeSwap has taken a significant stride in enhancing decentralized trading experiences by integrating two innovative features developed by Brevis, known as “Hooks,” into PancakeSwap Infinity. These Hooks, the VIP Discount Hook and the Token Holding Fee Discount Hook, are designed to reward traders based on their engagement and token holdings, thereby enhancing user incentives within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

PancakeSwap Infinity is the platform’s next-generation perpetual trading engine, which aims to combine the speed and capital efficiency of centralized exchanges with the transparency and decentralization of DeFi. By integrating Brevis’ zero-knowledge (ZK) powered infrastructure, PancakeSwap introduces adaptive fee models that personalize trading costs based on verifiable user behavior, all while preserving privacy.

The two new Hooks are not just promotional tools but are built on the technological backbone of Brevis’ zero-knowledge proof system. This allows PancakeSwap to verify trading behavior and token holdings off-chain without compromising user data, introducing a layer of intelligent user experience (UX) that is rare in decentralized trading environments.

The VIP Discount Hook dynamically adjusts trading fees based on a user’s historical trading volume. High-volume traders are rewarded with progressively lower fees, functioning like a tiered loyalty program but powered by transparent on-chain logic. By verifying trading patterns and applying appropriate fee reductions without requiring users to manually submit documents or trust a centralized authority, this automation improves user experience and ensures a fairer reward structure for traders who contribute liquidity and volume to the platform.

The Token Holding Fee Discount Hook offers trading fee reductions for users who hold the native $CAKE token. This transforms token holding into a utility function beyond governance or staking, incentivizing longer-term commitment to the PancakeSwap ecosystem while granting tangible, real-time benefits to loyal token holders. This mechanism also makes $CAKE more appealing to new investors by tying it directly to measurable savings and perks on the trading platform, reinforcing token value through actual use-case benefits and aligning user incentives with ecosystem health.

The underlying ZK technology from Brevis sets these features apart. It enables PancakeSwap to verify data from multiple sources, such as a trader’s past activity or current token holdings, without exposing that data. This preserves user privacy while allowing the system to act intelligently and contextually, marking a turning point in the DeFi landscape where protocols can build context-aware, privacy-preserving features that respond to user behavior.

With the launch of these two Hooks, PancakeSwap Infinity moves closer to delivering a truly intelligent and user-centric DeFi platform. This partnership with Brevis not only elevates the platform’s technical capabilities but also deepens community engagement through real-world incentives, setting a new standard for intelligent DeFi experiences.
