PancakeSwap’s Gaming Marketplace Goes Live with Diverse Blockchain Support
- PancakeSwap, the third-largest decentralised exchange, has released its gaming marketplace.
- Developers will be able to build on the platform, leveraging its support for nine blockchains including Ethereum and BNB.
- The DEX’s native token, CAKE, has surged 130% in the past month in anticipation of the marketplace going live.
Popular decentralised exchange (DEX) PancakeSwap has joined the GameFi revolution, with the platform’s gaming marketplace released today. To begin with, two games will be available to play on the DEX – Pancake Protectors and Pancake Mayor. The first game has been around since May this year and has already established a user base of over 25,000.
How Will PancakeSwap’s Gaming Marketplace Work?
The marketplace will be geared toward all members of the GameFi community. For starters, developers of blockchain-based games and activities will be able to build their own titles on PancakeSwap, and use the marketplace to establish an in-game economy of NFTs or native cryptocurrencies. And just like any other third-party marketplace (such as OpenSea for NFTs), the gamers themselves can swap their favourite in-game items with other players. Perhaps most impressively, the marketplace will include support for nine blockchains – Ethereum, Polygon, Base, BNB Chain, Arbitrum One, Aptos, OpenBNB, zkSync and Linea.

PancakeSwap’s native token, CAKE, has posted significant gains in light of the news and release of the DEX’s gaming marketplace. The coin is up 15.1% in the past 24 hours alone, a figure that pales in comparison to the impressive monthly surge CAKE has experienced. The staking and liquidity token has rocketed from US$ 1.08 (AU$ 1.66) on the 18th of October to US$ 2.70 (AU$ 4.15) today, marking an increase of 137.1%.
