What to Know
- Zap allows liquidity provision with any token, auto-swapping balances in a few clicks.
- The feature is live on PancakeSwap Infinity, supporting CLAMM pools on BNB Chain and v3 pools.
- CAKE price dipped 4% despite the upgrade, but ecosystem activity and weekly token burns remain strong.
PancakeSwap Infinity has added a new feature called Zap that makes it easier for users to add liquidity to the platform. With this update, anyone can add liquidity with any token they have. Users don’t have to manually swap tokens or match complicated ratios anymore. It only takes a few clicks for the system to do everything.
The goal of this upgrade is to make providing liquidity easy, quick, and readily available, especially for new users who may find the usual process hard to understand.
What Zap Actually Does
Zap is a tool that lets you add liquidity to a pool even if you don’t have the exact tokens the pool needs. Normally, liquidity pools require two specific tokens in a certain balance. If you don’t have the right tokens, you must swap them first, then calculate how much of each you need. Zap removes all these steps. You just choose the pool you want to add liquidity to, your price range and the amount you want to invest.
Zap will then auto-swap your tokens into the correct balance and build your liquidity position for you. It tries to do this in the most cost-effective way, with the least amount of slippage and the least amount of price impact, so that the process is smooth and predictable.
PancakeSwap says Zap works with a single token, two tokens, or multiple tokens at once which is great for cleaning up small “dust” balances. Zap is currently available on CLAMM Infinity pools on BNB Chain and all other pools without hooks. On v3, it works on all pools on BNB Chain and selected pools on Ethereum and Arbitrum.
How to Use Zap on PancakeSwap
- Go to the Add Liquidity page
- Choose the pair, fee tier, and price range
- Enter the amount you want to invest
- If you don’t have the right token balance, the Zap option will appear automatically
- Click it to open the Zap modal
- Review all the details
- Approve and confirm the transaction
Once the transaction is done, your new liquidity position will appear under My Position.
There are also extra settings such as max slippage, transaction deadline, whether to use KyberSwap for swaps and a “degen mode” for ultra-high slippage.
Why This Matters
Zap makes adding liquidity almost as simple as swapping tokens. This is an important step because liquidity pools are the heart of PancakeSwap’s trading system. When more people can easily add liquidity, trading becomes smoother, deeper, and more efficient.
It also helps beginners get involved without needing advanced knowledge. For long-time users, it saves time and streamlines the entire process.
CAKE Price Action
While PancakeSwap is shipping new features, the CAKE token has faced pressure in the past 24 hours, falling around 4% and underperforming the broader market. Recently, the CMC20 Index Launch drew attention away from CAKE as traders explored the new top-20 crypto index token. There was a technical weakness when CAKE fell below its 7-day SMA ($2.36) and 30-day SMA ($2.49). The RSI was at 41.42, which means the market was neutral but leaning toward being bearish. The price is now testing the $2.31 point.
However, recent news around PancakeSwap remains positive. Events like the CMC20 launch, community meetups and the weekly CAKE burn of 860,000 tokens show strong long-term activity in PancakeSwap’s ecosystem.
Conclusion
Zap is a major quality-of-life upgrade for PancakeSwap users. It removes the biggest barrier to providing liquidity, like matching token ratios and replaces it with a one-click process. With Zap now live on PancakeSwap Infinity and support for any token, liquidity provision becomes more inclusive, faster, and far less complicated.
