PancakeSwap's "The Flip" is a governance vote that opened on 2026-10-21 and would shift fee revenue toward LPs while cutting CAKE emissions; vote at PancakeSwap voting page. The terms: LPs keep 88% of swap fees on every v3 fee tier and Infinity pool across all 11 chains, up from 66-68% on most pools, while the remaining 12% protocol fee goes to the Treasury. v2 is unchanged and still sends 23% of its swap fees to burn, so CAKE remains deflationary. Effective CAKE emissions fall about 69%, from 22,500 to 7,000 CAKE per day post-veCAKE, removing 15,500 CAKE per day or about 5.7M per year; the 7,000 per day goes to the new Pantry ecosystem fund, and non-stablecoin protocol fees still buy back CAKE. Existing Infinity pools see total swap fees drop because LP fees are fixed at creation, for example a 1% pool becomes about 0.76%. Rollout starts in November 2026, within two weeks of passing, takes about three months and finishes by end-January 2027; ChefMarcusPCS said emissions step to 11,000 per day in the first phase and then 7,000 per day. Full rollout is tied to CAKE reaching its 20% supply-reduction target from April 2025, with supply already down 11.5%; PancakeSwap estimates LPs would have earned about $62M more in fees on 2025 volume.
