PancakeSwap Infinity on Base represents a significant evolution in the DeFi space with major implications for multichain liquidity.
The launch of PancakeSwap’s fourth version on Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2, Base, expands its ecosystem with lower fees, crosschain functionality, and smart contract hooks.
The deployment follows a previous rollout on BNB Chain and reflects PancakeSwap’s commitment to multichain accessibility. As Base’s total value locked (TVL) surges past $4.2 billion, PancakeSwap Infinity’s presence boosts both visibility and functionality across the decentralized finance landscape. This TVL figure marks a nearly 34% increase from the beginning of 2025.
With Base breaking its daily DEX volume record—reaching over $1.6 billion—PancakeSwap’s timing couldn’t be better. The protocol’s one-click crosschain swap feature via the Across Protocol supports BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base, making it more convenient for users to move assets across major networks.

HOOKS AND FEES: THE NEXT WAVE OF CUSTOM DEFI
PancakeSwap Infinity on Base introduces hooks—smart contract plug-ins that allow for pool-level customization. Developers can integrate dynamic fees, rebate models, or onchain limit orders with no changes to the base AMM code. These hooks execute automatically before or after key events like liquidity additions, swaps, or pool creations.
This innovation empowers DeFi developers to personalize strategies without compromising security or network performance. Importantly, pool administrators retain full control, deploying hooks independently as their strategies evolve.
Fee reduction is another strong point. PancakeSwap Infinity claims users can save up to 99% on pool creation fees and around 50% on trading ETH against ERC-20 tokens. In a market where transaction fees can make or break user experience, this could be a major advantage.
PANCAKESWAP INFINITY ON BASE REFLECTS GROWING L2 DEMAND
As institutions like JPMorgan explore a Base for experimental tokenization pilots, PancakeSwap Infinity’s launch becomes even more timely. The network recently processed over 1,000 transactions per second—approaching Solana’s speeds. That type of performance signals a shift toward Base as a layer-2 of choice.
PancakeSwap’s multichain approach meets this demand head-on. By embracing Base and integrating crosschain compatibility, the DEX positions itself as a serious player in the next evolution of DeFi.
Whether you’re a developer, trader, or protocol builder, PancakeSwap Infinity on Base introduces a flexible, powerful platform in a fast-growing environment. Its low fees, customizable pools, and Base’s infrastructure make it one of the most attractive DeFi options available today.
