What can I do on PancakeSwap across different blockchains?
You can continue providing liquidity, trading, and using farms as usual. If you're already a multi-chain user, remember to provide liquidity for PancakeSwap on other deployed blockchains like Ethereum. We'll reward you with CAKE on BNB Smart Chain, allowing you to earn more CAKE without cross-chain transfers!
Will more farms be added in the future?
Yes, but we'll deploy them gradually to prioritize user fund security and CAKE inflation control. Join our community chat to suggest what features PancakeSwap should add on other blockchains and where we should deploy next.
Why are gas fees high for staking LP tokens?
Initial setup requires a small amount of native tokens (e.g., ETH on Ethereum), making the first staking operation slightly more expensive. Cross-chain farming also involves additional costs (primarily gas fees).
Why does staking/unstaking take 30 minutes to complete?
All cross-chain operations require approximately 30 minutes because:
- Operations must execute on both chains (farm blockchain and BNB Chain)
- Cross-chain message transmission takes time
- Security requires synchronized and consistent data across blockchains
Where do my harvested CAKE rewards go?
Harvested CAKE distributes to BNB Smart Chain. Switch your wallet's blockchain network to view your CAKE balance.
How can I harvest rewards if my wallet doesn't support chain switching?
Try using another wallet application that supports multi-chain functionality. Note that staking/unstaking LP tokens simultaneously harvests all earned CAKE to your BNB Smart Chain wallet.
Cross-Chain Farming Fee Structure
Unlike native farms on BNB Chain, cross-chain farming involves additional fees:
1. Proxy Contract Creation Gas Fee
Only charged during first staking operation
2. BNB Chain Call Gas Fee
Charged for each deposit/withdrawal
3. Other Blockchain Call Gas Fee
Only charged when withdrawing tokens
4. Cross-Chain Message Fee
Charged per message, calculated by byte length
5. Starter Fund
0.005 BNB deposited to new users' wallets during first staking
Where do CAKE rewards come from?
Currently, 0.0189 CAKE per block from the syrup pool distributes to all cross-chain farms.
What happens during deposit/harvest/withdrawal?
Cross-chain farming uses "proxy" LP tokens on BNB Chain through the MasterChef contract. CAKE rewards calculate and distribute on BNB Chain.
