PancakeSwap Pushes CAKE Towards Deflationary Tokenomics With New Community Vote
The number of CAKE tokens per block sent to PancakeSwap’s Syrup Pool to be reduced.
PancakeSwap Community Votes for More Deflation
With a 56.83% dominance, PancakeSwap, the leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol on BNB Chain, in a recent proposal to its community members, sought the reduction of CAKE emissions. The CAKE Emission Reduction proposal aimed to reduce token emissions in the protocol’s Syrup Pool.
Put simply, “emission” refers to the rate at which tokens of a crypto asset are created or distributed.
Under PancakeSwap’s previous tokenomics, 40 new CAKE tokens were emitted per block. Of these, 10 CAKE tokens were sent to its Syrup pool, and 3.75 CAKE were sent to its farms. The rest were burned. With the new proposal, PanCakeSwap’s objective was to reduce the number of CAKE tokens sent to its Syrup Pools by either 2.5%, 5%, or 10%.
Speaking on the objective of the proposal, Chef Icy told BSC News that:
“Eventually, we are aiming for emissions-neutral or even deflationary, so reducing emissions per block better helps to achieve that. We have already reduced emissions via other methods (e.g., farm rewards have been cut by 87.5%) and increased burn (increase trading fee CAKE buyback-and-burns), so enabling us to reduce emissions to pool is critical.”
The proposal to reduce its emissions was driven primarily by the protocol’s desire to pursue a sustainable growth model away from its “growth-at-all-costs model.” With the emissions reduction, PancakeSwap seeks to ensure that the supply of CAKE tokens is under control while growing its organic adoption in the DeFi space.
Confirming that the proposed reduction will lead to a decreased APR/APY for its users, Chef Icy added further that:
“Yes, they would receive a lower APR/APY. But the benefit accrued to them having a less-inflationary token outweighs the decrease in APY.”
At the end of the voting period on August 11, 75.97% of the total votes cast favored a 10% reduction in CAKE emissions to the protocol’s Syrup Pool.

Binance Executive Tigran Gambaryan Sues Nigeria's NSA and EFCC
The lawsuit reflects escalating tensions amidst allegations of innocence and regulatory scrutiny surrounding Binance Nigeria's alleged involvement in illicit financial activities.
The detained executive of Binance, Mr. Tigran Gambaryan, has taken legal action against Nigeria's National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Gambaryan, along with the firm's Africa Regional Manager, Mr. Nadeem Anjarwalla, filed a fundamental human rights violation suit amidst ongoing legal turmoil.
Gambaryan's legal challenge, initiated alongside his lawyer Mr. Olujoke Aliyu, aims to address his prolonged detention by the federal government. The suit, presented before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenges the legality of Gambaryan's continued confinement and the seizure of his international travel passport.
Gambaryan, a US citizen overseeing financial crime compliance at Binance, contends that his detention and passport seizure violates Section 35 (1) and (4) of Nigeria's 1999 Constitution. His legal team seeks various reliefs, including his release from custody, the return of his passport, a public apology from the NSA and EFCC, and an injunction against future investigations.
Allegations of Innocence Amidst Legal Turmoil
Gambaryan and his colleague's legal representatives maintain their innocence, claiming that the arrests occurred during discussions with Nigerian authorities regarding legal conflicts involving Binance.
In a dramatic turn of events, Binance's African regional manager, Nadeem Anjarwalla, recently fled Nigerian custody. Anjarwalla's escape follows mounting tensions surrounding the Nigerian authorities' investigation into alleged illicit financial activities involving Binance Nigeria, totaling a staggering $26 billion.
