The Biggest DEX on the Most Accessible Chain
PancakeSwap is huge. It processes over 90% of all DEX trading volume on BNB Smart Chain, making it one of the most dominant decentralized exchanges in crypto. Since launching in 2020, PancakeSwap has supported over $1.5 trillion in trading volume and attracts millions of unique active traders monthly.
BNB Smart Chain is a major player in the crypto industry, known for its low fees, fast block times, and broad accessibility. It routinely processes millions of daily transactions and has accumulated over 100 million unique wallet addresses, making it one of the most actively used blockchains in the world. It’s where DeFi meets the masses, and where a significant share of onchain activity unfolds every day.
Now, thanks to Across, all that liquidity and activity can be seamlessly bridged across chains with a single click, simplifying crosschain swaps like never before.

Our goal with this integration is to unlock a truly unified DeFi experience that meets you where you are, and takes you where you need to go.
How It Works: Intents-Based Crosschain at Its Best
Across is powered by a breakthrough bridging model using Intents. Instead of figuring out how to bridge assets manually, users can simply define the crosschain outcome they want (e.g., swapping $USDC on Base for $CAKE on BNB Smart Chain), and Across handles the rest.
Our intents-driven architecture finds the best route and executes the transaction using a decentralized network of independent relayers and liquidity pools. This abstracts away complexity, reduces latency, and eliminates the pain points that have historically come with bridging.
You don't have to worry about bridge selection, gas estimations, or long wait times. Just set your destination and go. With over $22B in crosschain volume processed, you get proven reliability paired with the best UX in DeFi, right inside PancakeSwap.

Crosschain swaps are powered by Across' intents-based architecture, following the ERC-7683 framework.
