PancakeSwap is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) built on top of BNB Chain (formerly Binacnce Smart Chain) – basically the BNB Chain version of SushiSwap. The protocol allows users to exchange and trade various cryptocurrencies and stablecoins and inject liquidity into liquidity pools; a DeFi practice called yield farming.
Since there is a lot of on-chain activity taking place in PancakeSwap, users will always try to choose reliable wallets to send their funds, and MetaMask has been one of the go-to wallets for users who want their assets outside of exchanges NFTs ( Non-Fungible Tokens) via an NFT marketplace.
