Like many others PancakeSwap was the first real experience I had with a DEX — after being in the industry for ~5 years now it’s still my go-to as not only do they help provide users with warnings when swapping “unknown” tokens they continue to grow incredibly ecosystem-wise. They integrated more than just the original BNB-specific swap capacity to now offering their DEX swaps for tokens on ZkSync, Base, Arbitrum and a handful of other chains. They also are pretty much the only platform I personally feel comfortable with staking / yield farming on considering their liquidity & overall security protocols. Recently they actually even began offering perpetual futures & now even options trading on the platform; all while making sure there’s definitely a tutorial or guide of some sort at minimum so you aren’t feeling lost when you exploring their products! 10/10 from me :)
