Introduction

In today's interview we are joined by Head Chef of Pancakeswap, Mochi to dive deep into the upcoming PancakeSwap V4 upgrade. They discuss V4's modular three-layer architecture, which includes the accounting layer, AMM layer, and custom layer, enabling developers to create highly customizable liquidity pools and execute complex trading strategies through hooks. Chef Mochi shares insights on PancakeSwap's multi-chain expansion strategy, deflationary tokenomics designed to solve LP profitability issues, and the protocol's vision to evolve from a DEX into a comprehensive DeFi platform. Stick around for all of this and much more!
