PancakeSwap to refund fees paid on Uniswap to large-scale traders
PancakeSwap, a popular decentralized multi-chain exchange, has said it would refund up to $8 million of interface fees that users have encountered on its rival exchange, Uniswap. The exchange made the announcement in an X post on Thursday.
This initiative by PancakeSwap follows a recent hike in transaction fees in Uniswap last month after it received a Wells Notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The hike comes as Uniswap prepares for a potential legal battle with the SEC. However, increased transaction fees have left some users worried and seeking alternative exchanges.
