- 7 of its chains are not among the 3 we read.
- We have not written a description of it.
- Whether it can be held without a company. We have no sourced answer yet.
- 6 other questions about what it can do have no written answer. Some may not apply to it.

Selling CAKE on exchanges
Selling $100,000 of CAKE into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase CAKE/USD | 0.94% | $99,056 | 2026-10-08 |
| Kraken CAKE/USD | 22.9% | $77,059 | 2026-10-08 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps CAKE on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.

Our own measurement · measured 8 October 2026
CAKE has a hard cap of 400 million, lowered from 450 million by a vote in January 2026. PancakeSwap also buys CAKE back with a share of its fees and burns it, aiming to shrink the supply by at least 4% a year.

Where CAKE lives
On Solana, a mint authority can create more of the token and a freeze authority can freeze it in a holder's account; both are read from the token itself, every day. On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
