Powered by the multi-blockchain network, PanckaeSwap originally uses the automated market maker (AMM) model, which effectively means that liquidity pools are used instead of the order books. Users can add tokens to the liquidity pool and from there they can farm and stake the CAKE tokens to earn rewards.
The PancakeSwap was going up on the charts on 10 February seeing a price rally of over 3% at the time of drafting.
Why is CAKE token rallying?

The CAKE holders will get special access to IFO 3.1 though a new private sale allocation. The Era7 intends to launch its IFO to investors on 18 February.
