PancakeSwap has improved its user experience by integrating Zyfi on zkSync Era, enabling gas-free transactions. This integration allows users to benefit from gasless trades on specific token pairs, with fees sponsored by PancakeSwap, zkSync, or other DeFi protocols. This change aims to make DeFi more accessible and drive adoption.
Previously, users needed to buy Ether (ETH) to cover transaction fees on the Ethereum network. Now, PancakeSwap users can pay gas fees with over 10 ERC-20 tokens, removing the need to hold ETH. Currently, PancakeSwap ranks as the sixth-largest DEX, with a daily trading volume exceeding $311 million, according to CoinMarketCap.
Despite DEXs' challenges in attracting mainstream users from CEXs, PancakeSwap plans to introduce more user-friendly features, such as payments with additional ERC-20 tokens, to enhance the trading experience. As part of the integration, the zkSync team will sponsor $5,000 worth of gas fees on a first-come, first-served basis for zkSync Era PancakeSwap users.
Moreover, traders using Zyfi’s paymaster on zkSync Era PancakeSwap will earn gas points, increasing their chances of receiving a Zyfi token airdrop with each transaction.
