PancakeSwap Attains Majority Share of TVL on Aptos Chain

PancakeSwap now accounts for more than 50% of the TVL on the growing Aptos chain, mirroring its status as the dominant DEX on BNB Chain.
The chefs have done it again. PancakeSwap has broken the 50% barrier in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL) on the Aptos blockchain, meaning the majority of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) funds are on the platform.
PancakeSwap is not only the dominant Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on both BNB Chain and Aptos, but it is head-and-shoulders above competing DeFi Decentralized Applications (Dapps) on those chains. The DEX marked its Aptos achievement with a celebratory Tweet.
📈 We’ve reached new heights as we’ve achieved over 50% dominance on @Aptos_Network.

According to DefiLlama, PancakeSwap has captured 53% of TVL on Aptos and 44% on BNB Chain — with those figures rising if you exclude liquid staking numbers.
The DEX has $29.5 million in TVL on Aptos and $2.3 billion on BNB Chain — in each case, nearly three times the TVL amount of the next-ranked Dapp.
While overall TVL on BNB Chain has essentially flatlined since Summer 2022, the TVL on Aptos has steadily increased since the chain launched in October.
However, PancakeSwap is still taking tiny nibbles out of the biggest flapjack of them all, Ethereum, with $12.6 million out of the chain’s total TVL of $48.7 billion (approximately 2.5%).
Like a prison cafeteria, major DEXes are eyeing their rivals’ plates on other blockchains, with Ethereum’s UniSwap considering taking a bite out of BNB Chain and Avalanche’s Trader Joe having a BNB Chain “table for two” reserved for its DEX and NFT Marketplace.
PancakeSwap is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) built on BNB Chain. It offers users various features such as Liquidity Pools, Swapping, Yield Farming, Syrup Pools, Automated Market Maker, Initial Farm Offering (IFO), NFT profile system, and many others.
In addition, the protocol helps users make the most out of their crypto assets by trading, earning through yield farming, and winning via lottery, prediction, and NFT collectibles. With the highest trading volumes in the market, PancakeSwap is the leading DEX on the BNB Chain.

Another NFT sell out on Core DAO’s testnet helps continue to build momentum for the mainnet launch.
A small but notable feat: ISLAcore has sold out its Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) on the Miidas NFT Marketplace via the Core DAO testnet.
In another successful test for the Core DAO mainnet, the ISLAcore team put eleven NFTs up for sale on the Miidas NFT testnet marketplace and sold out all eleven.
The NFTs for sale included imagery of Core DAO coins and fluffy finger puppet-esque characters with lettering that reads “Hello CoreDAO 2023.” The team took to Twitter on January 9 to celebrate the successful test.
🗣️ Hello guys, we are very grateful to all the people who participated in the purchase #NFT test blockchain #Coredao_Org follow me and retweet to be informed pic.twitter.com/uNawZfC0Wu
The IslaCORE team is grateful to all who participated and will be gifting early adopters with a unique NFT from its team.
The sell-out is a testament to the hype surrounding even the smallest Core DAO projects. Core DAO projects like Miidas and Coggi Coin have also seen considerable hype build behind their projects with presale and pre-mint successes.
Dear Core community
There is no limit to your abilities, right?

The power of community is the Core value 🚀💯 @miidasnft Sold out!@Fahuradigitarts Sold out!@youngparrotnft Sold out!

What’s the next …??
Core = Sold out!

The ecosystem of Core DAO is slowly expanding. The projects building behind the Core DAO testnet are showing that they can produce hype and follow through on attracting users to their communities before the mainnet launch.
Core DAO is the official decentralized organization developing the Satoshi Plus ecosystem. It represents an opportunity for miners to access new revenue streams by contributing hash power to the chain. Inspired by the principles of both blockchains, Core displays a deep appreciation for the history of the crypto ecosystem paired with an even greater excitement for Core’s role in its future.
