❓ PancakeSwap™ Trading FAQs

How do I find legitimate tokens to trade?

Use the official token list on PancakeSwap™, check verified contracts, and research projects on platforms like CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Avoid tokens with no website or social media presence.

What's the difference between V2 and V3?

PancakeSwap™ V3 introduced concentrated liquidity, multiple fee tiers, and improved capital efficiency. Most trading now occurs on V3, but V2 remains active for certain pairs.

How do I avoid high slippage?

Trade during high liquidity periods, use limit orders for large trades, and stick to major trading pairs with deep liquidity pools.

Can I trade on mobile?

Yes, access PancakeSwap™ through Trust Wallet's DApp browser, MetaMask Mobile, or any Web3-compatible mobile wallet. The interface is fully mobile-optimized.

What are the advantages over CEX trading?

No KYC requirements, direct wallet control, lower fees for certain pairs, access to newer tokens, and participation in yield farming and staking.

How do I become a liquidity provider?

Go to the "Liquidity" section, select a pair, provide equal value of both tokens, and then stake your LP tokens in farms to earn CAKE rewards.
