Crosschain veCAKE Expansion: The platform will expand its veCAKE token model across multiple blockchain networks, enhancing liquidity and providing more opportunities for users to stake and earn rewards.
Gaming Marketplace Expansion: Building on its existing success, PancakeSwap will further develop its gaming marketplace, integrating more games and expanding its reach within the gaming community. Q2 saw the launch of Shadow Realms game.

Earlier Notable Developments
Reducing CAKE Supply
One of the most significant developments was the proposal to reduce the maximum supply of CAKE, the ecosystem token, from 750 million to 450 million. This proposal received overwhelming support from the community, with over 97.88% approval.
Last March, PancakeSwap reduced its CAKE maximum supply to 450 million.
AI-Powered Prediction Market
PancakeSwap launched an AI-powered prediction market on the Arbitrum network. This feature leverages advanced machine learning models from the Allora Network, providing AI-driven price feed data to help users forecast Ether (ETH) price movements. The goal is to enhance user experience and profitability in the highly competitive crypto trading market.
Strategic Multi-Chain Expansion
In August 2023, PancakeSwap joined the Coinbase-incubated Base layer-2 network and the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Linea. This strategy aims to increase the platform's accessibility and user base across different blockchain networks.
