Passive Income with PancakeSwap

Given the surge in rug pulls and mushrooms of scam investment platforms, it’s time to look for a less risky DeFi alternative.

PancakeSwap is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It operates as a decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows users to swap various cryptocurrencies, primarily based on the BEP-20 token standard. One of the advantages of PancakeSwap being on the Binance Smart Chain is the relatively low transaction fees compared to some other blockchain networks.

Here are three ways you can make passive income with Pancake Swap:

Staking (Simple or Liquid)

Staking is the simplest way to earn some passive incomes. You will earn reward based on the staking period that you committed.

Liquidity Pools

Users can provide liquidity to the platform by depositing their tokens into liquidity pools. In return, they receive LP (liquidity provider) tokens that represent their share of the pool. Liquidity providers earn fees from trades in proportion to their share of the pool.

Yield Farming

Pancake Swap offers yield farming opportunities, allowing users to stake their LP tokens and earn additional tokens as rewards. This incentivizes users to provide liquidity to the platform.

How to interact with Simple Staking?

Click on Simple Staking from the top menu.

The applications will autonomously activate the staking feature, contingent on the cryptocurrencies present in your crypto wallet.

Click on the “Stake” button, pay some gas fees and you are done.

How to interact with Liquidity Pools.

Connect with your crypto wallet i.e. MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.

Under Trade, click on Liquidity.

Now, you can click on “+ Add Liquidity” to add liquidity to the pool. Do not worry about V2, V3 or StableSwap.

If you are not sure which liquidity you wish to join, click on Earn and select Pool.

At the moment, there are only two active liquidity pools.

If you need to stake CAKE, you must have CAKE in your crypto wallet. Similarly, if you need to stake CSIX, you must have CSIX in your wallet. Note that, the CSIX pool will ends in the next 34 days.

How to interact with Yield Farmings?

Yield Farming offers a much higher profit compared to staking you're in liquidity pools.

For example, I will farm USDT/BNB. How much will I gain daily?

The first step to add the liquidity to USDT/BNB pair.

Since, I don't have the liquidity added in the pool, the pool will request for enabling this pair.

Once enabled, I will add the liquidity based on my desired amount.

I will now click on Add to continue.

Once added, my liquidity will now be added to the liquidity pool.

Next, there is a note showing “1 LP Available for Farming” mentioned on the page.

I will click on the “Stake” to start my Yield farming.

My passive income will be rewarded in CAKE token which I can swap to USDT using Pancake Swap or using the apps within my MetaMask crypto wallet.

I will check after 24 hours to see much I have make with this farm.
