What is PancakeSwap SpringBoard?
On Dec. 4, 2024, PancakeSwap launched a no-code platform called SpringBoard to simplify the PancakeSwap ecosystem’s token development and launch process. It enables you to easily develop, modify and distribute tokens regardless of your level of technical expertise. PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the BNB Smart Chain.
Issuing tokens on PancakeSwap used to be a complex process, requiring projects to hire blockchain developers with coding expertise and to carry out intricate audits. SpringBoard offers a solution with a user-friendly interface that enables you to specify advanced tokenomics, such as burn rates or staking rewards. You can also set specifications such as the token’s name, symbol and total supply without writing a single line of code.
The platform facilitates the immediate creation of liquidity pools and direct token trading on PancakeSwap. The no-code method lowers the entry hurdle and expedites token development, making it available to communities, content producers and entrepreneurs wishing to tokenize their initiatives.
It offers similar functionalities to launchpads on other blockchains, such as Pump.fun on Solana and Emojicon.fun on Aptos.
Did you know? The launch of SpringBoard coincides with a surge in demand for no-code token launchpads. Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform, saw its revenue skyrocket 207% in Nov. 2024, jumping from $30.5 million to $93.9 million.
How to use the PancakeSwap SpringBoard
Springboard’s comprehensive toolkit facilitates the issuance of tokens. On a single platform, you can create tokens, set up liquidity, and enable trading. The platform offers developers freedom by supporting a range of token pair alternatives, including coins like BNB (BNB), Tether’s USDt (USDT) and PancakeSwap (CAKE).
Here is a step-by-step process of token creation on SpringBoard:
Step 1: Connect your wallet to BNB Chain
Go to PancakeSwap SpringBoard and connect your wallet to the BNB Chain. SpringBoard supports MetaMask and Trust Wallet. Transfer enough BNB to your wallet to cover transaction fees (~0.001 BNB) and any further liquidity needs.
Step 2: Configure your token
Click “Create Token.”
Set up token specifications
Upload media: Select and upload an image that will represent your token.
Token name: Give a unique name to your token.
Ticker symbol: Define a ticker symbol for your token.
Description: Write a brief overview of your project and its objective.
Raised token and amount: Select the tokens — e.g., BNB, USDT, CAKE — for trading and liquidity purposes.
Project information: This is optional. But providing additional project information about your project, such as website, X and Telegram links, will boost credibility.
Additional options
Here are a few extra options you can specify on the PancakeSwap SpringBoard:
Set basic token details: Specify the total supply for your project and the amount you intend to raise in CAKE, BNB or USDT. The predetermined total supply for tokens launched via PancakeSwap SpringBoard is 1,000,000,000, while the minimum is $2,000.
Adjust token distribution ratios: The token distribution strategy involves three primary ratios: the Sales Ratio, Reserved Ratio and Liquidity Pool Ratio. The Sales Ratio outlines the percentage of tokens designated for public sale, and the Reserved Ratio specifies the portion of tokens held in reserve for future use. The Liquidity Pool Ratio determines the percentage of tokens paired with a trading token, such as BNB, USDT or CAKE, to facilitate trading liquidity.
Check token pricing: The initial price of the token is determined by the total supply and the amount of funds raised during the initial offering. The platform also estimates the maximum potential price increase before the token is listed on PancakeSwap, helping you understand the potential impact of market dynamics.
Configure launch settings: The platform allows you to set the specific launch date and time for your token sale. Additionally, you can implement a per-user purchase limit, restricting the number of tokens each participant can acquire. This limit can be defined in terms of CAKE or other supported tokens.
Did you know? Binance Launchpad raised $212,784,705 of funds with 5,980,023 unique participants on Dec. 17, 2024. The platform has $1,170,162,774 currently locked.
Step 3: Create the token
To create your token, click the “Create Token” button and confirm the transaction in your connected wallet.
Trading on the bonding curve and PancakeSwap integration
Once your token is launched, it is open for trading on PancakeSwap SpringBoard using a bonding curve mechanism. This means that the price of the token will automatically adjust based on supply and demand. As more tokens are purchased, the price will gradually increase. A 1% trading fee, with a minimum of 0.001 BNB, will apply to each trade.
When the liquidity for your token reaches 100% on SpringBoard, which is approximately 24 BNB by default, tokens are locked in GoPlusLabs, a third-party platform. This creates a system where even PancakeSwap cannot access or remove the liquidity pool.
After the liquidity is locked, the “seeding” process begins. This involves automatically pairing the raised funds and project tokens in a PancakeSwap v3 pool. A 2% liquidity seeding fee will be charged, with half going to the token creator and the other half to PancakeSwap SpringBoard. Once the seeding process is complete, users can trade the token directly on PancakeSwap.
