What has been up?
PancakeSwap (CAKE) is the biggest decentralized exchange on Binance Smart Chain. The network was launched in October last year and in a small period of time, it has achieved phenomenal growth. CAKE has the backing of the leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance and has been dubbed as Binance’s “Darling DEX”.
The price of PancakeSwap suffered from major pullbacks in the middle of March because of a hijack attack. Per the developers, the Domain Name Service (DNS) has been compromised by hackers and anyone who visited the network during the hack received a pop-up message asking for users’ private key. The network was quick to act and after warning, users on Twitter started acting on recovering the system. The attack was part of a coordinated bigger attack on a number of decentralized finance projects including Creamdotfinance.
However, the price has somewhat recovered from the attack and the uptrend can be resumed by PancakeSwap. RobonomicNetowkr’s XRT also began trading on the network and the HYVE ERC-20 token will be listed on PancakeSwap as well.
