How To Use Pancake Swap? This article will talk about how to trade on PancakeSwap. Trading on PancakeSwap is very easy compared to most exchanges. Let's see how it works.

How To Use Pancake Swap: Trading on the PancakeSwap Exchange

Getting Set Up To Trade

You must have a wallet that is compatible with the BNB Smart Chain in order to trade. Additionally, you will need some BEP20 tokens to do trades.

Trading on the PancakeSwap Exchange

1. Go to the exchange page.

2. Click Unlock Wallet to unlock your BNB Smart Chain-compatible wallet (you can also Connect in the top right-hand corner).

3. From the dropdown menu in the "From" section, choose the token you want to trade. The default setting is BNB.

Whichever token you choose, you will need to make sure you have some to trade with. Above the token dropdown menu, your balance is shown.

4. In the "To" section, make the same selection for the token you want to trade to. Next, type an amount for your "To" currency by clicking inside the input box.

Your "From" currency amount will be estimated automatically. If you'd like, you can write your "From" amount and have the "To" amount estimate itself.

5. Check the details, and click the Swap button.

6. A window with additional information will open. Check the details are correct. Click the Confirm Swap button when you are ready to do so. Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.

7. Done! To view the details of your transaction on the explorer, click View on BscScan.
