So on AMMs like PancakeSwap, I use the exchange/trade to swap tokens, but what are the rest for and how does it all work together?
Thanks
Actually, there are so many things that you can do in pancakeswap apart from just trading. To provide users with the necessary liquidity for exchanges it offers to stake your assets in different pools, where you get interests and also some cakes. Also It offers a lottery where you buy tickets, and then you should match numbers, from the left side of your ticket, to the winning numbers drawn at the end of a Lottery round. Also there is a prediction market, where you have to predict if the price of BNB/USDT will be higher or lower than it was when the “live” phase starts.
Moreover, it provides an NFT-system, where you can choose your own name, join a team, and choose from NFT profile images you've collected to use as your profile's display picture.
