PancakeSwap has unveiled its first-ever Initial Farm Offering (IFO) on the Arbitrum network. This event will spotlight Eigenpie, a well-known Liquid Restaking Protocol on EigenLayer with over $1B TVL, marking an important step in PancakeSwap’s ongoing expansion.

The upcoming IFO will run from September 24, 2024, at 10:15 AM UTC to September 25, 2024, at 10:15 AM UTC. This venture marks a significant moment for PancakeSwap as it introduces its popular IFO model to Arbitrum, following previous successful launches of Swap, Yield Farming, Prediction Markets, and Perpetual Trading on the network.

Eigenpie represents an innovative approach in the DeFi space. Built on EigenLayer, Eigenpie is a Liquid Restaking Protocol that enables users to restake their ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). The restaked asset is used to validate other services while allowing users to maintain liquidity via a Liquid Restaking Token (LRT).

The centerpiece of this IFO is the EGP token, which serves as Eigenpie’s native governance token. EGP allows its holders to participate in protocol governance, potentially earn rewards from engagement, and amplify their influence through vote-locked EGP (vlEGP).

Participation in the IFO will be accessible through two primary channels. The Basic IFO will be open to all CAKE holders. For those with veCAKE on BNB Chain, a Public IFO will provide exclusive access with a reduced participation fee. Participants will need to lock CAKE to receive veCAKE, which they will then use to join the IFO.
