PancakeSwap Expands to Solana with 0.01% Trading Fees

PancakeSwap, a prominent decentralized exchange (DEX), has expanded its operations to the Solana blockchain, launching native version 3 liquidity pools on July 1, 2025. This development marks Solana as the eleventh network supported by PancakeSwap, following its presence on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum One, Base, zkSync Era, Linea, opBNB Mainnet, Monad Testnet, and Aptos.

With this expansion, users can now trade Solana-based tokens directly through PancakeSwap. The new liquidity pools offer trading fees starting at an impressively low 0.01%. Liquidity providers, who supply assets to these pools, can earn up to 84% of the fees generated by trades within their specific price ranges. This move leverages Solana’s fast transaction speeds and low operational costs, providing a more efficient trading environment.

The newly launched pools utilize a Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker (CLAMM) model. This system allows liquidity providers to allocate their deposited funds within chosen price ranges, potentially improving returns while reducing unused capital. This CLAMM structure is already operational on other networks supported by PancakeSwap, including BNB Chain and Ethereum.

Key features for liquidity providers on Solana include the ability to set custom price ranges for their supplied assets. Positions within these liquidity pools are represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), simplifying the management and transfer of liquidity positions. Traders benefit from the low starting fee of 0.01% and reduced price movement (slippage) during trades for specific token pairs available on Solana, such as BONK-SOL, PYUSD-USDT, and EURC-USDC.

PancakeSwap had previously enabled basic trading for some Solana tokens starting in April 2025. However, this initial step relied on an external protocol and lacked native PancakeSwap liquidity pools, preventing features like CAKE token burning or direct rewards for liquidity providers on Solana. The launch of native pools on Solana now addresses these limitations, enhancing the overall trading experience on the platform.

This multi-network approach aligns with PancakeSwap’s goal of broad accessibility within decentralized finance. By expanding to Solana, PancakeSwap aims to capture additional market share in the high-performance DeFi space, offering users more options and potentially attracting new liquidity providers and traders.

PancakeSwap’s native token, CAKE, has seen fluctuations in its value, reflecting broader market trends and the platform’s strategic developments. Despite these movements, the expansion to Solana represents a significant step forward for PancakeSwap, positioning it as a versatile and accessible DEX across multiple blockchain networks.
