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.

PancakeSwap's offer promises reduced costs, improved pricing, and reimbursements for the excess interface fees, up to $8 million that users paid on Uniswap.

To be eligible, users must have traded on Uniswap between January 1 and March 31 with a minimum volume of $5000 in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) or Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) trading pairs. According to PancakeSwap, the offer is available on the exchange from May 16 to August 15. 

Uniswap users can visit the PancakeSwap Dune analytics dashboard to confirm their eligibility for a refund. Once confirmed, users must match their Ethereum Uniswap Volume 1:1 on Ethereum PancakeSwap v3 in either WBTC or WETH pairs.
