FAQ — PancakeSwap Exchange

Is PancakeSwap Exchange decentralized?

Yes — core swapping and liquidity are handled by smart contracts on BSC. However, always verify smart contract addresses and token authenticity.

How do I add liquidity?

Connect your wallet, go to the Liquidity section, choose a token pair, approve tokens, and confirm the add liquidity transaction.

What is impermanent loss?

Impermanent loss occurs when the relative price of tokens in a liquidity pair changes; it affects the value of your deposited assets vs holding them. Consider risks before adding liquidity.
