Why the Token Burn?
The token burn event is a major part of the PancakeSwap deflationary mechanism. The DEX platform is also popularly known for its weekly token burn events. The token burn will help keep sell pressure at bay.
This is because about 530,000 $CAKE tokens are generated daily on the DEX via liquidity farming, staking, etc. To ensure supply does not exceed demand, a small amount of $CAKE tokens are burned.
