Pancakeswap launched in September 2020, and is a Decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses the BNB chain (Binance smart chain) unlike etherium (ETH). This makes it easy for users to swap the standard tokens of BEP-20 which is a token standard that is used to create tokens on BNB, and It is similar to using ERC-20 for ETH.
In recent times, due to higher liquidity, DEX platforms like Pancakeswap have become more popular. It uses an automated market model(AMM) model to fulfill orders. Instead of relying on a centralized platform, smart contracts are used by DEXs like Pancakeswap to let users interact with each other directly. This helps in increasing security and reliability as the assets are kept in non-custodial wallets.
