PancakeSwap gives liquidity providers 90% of Infinity fees on Robinhood Chain and Arc
PancakeSwap is giving liquidity providers 90% of Infinity's pool fees on Robinhood Chain and Arc as cumulative volume passes $150 billion. Its own milestones show daily volume since April 2026 averaging about a third below the first year.
The Investor · Invest desk
What happened
- By April 2026, about a year after launch, Infinity had logged more than $113 billion in volume across more than 250 million transactions.
- The exchange started on BNB Chain, moved to Base, then added Robinhood Chain in July 2026 and Arc in September 2026.
- Daily volume in Infinity pools runs between $270 million and $290 million, according to Cryptobriefing.
- Infinity hosted about 60,000 hooked pools as of April 2026, each carrying developer-written logic attached to the pool.

Why it matters
- cost On Robinhood Chain and Arc PancakeSwap keeps 10 cents of each fee dollar, so those chains add real protocol revenue only if they add volume at scale.
- contradiction Cryptobriefing says the pace did not fade after launch, but its own two milestones, divided by the days between them, put the second stretch well below the first.
- constraint The pitch to providers on new chains has to compete with BSC stablecoin and meme pairs, where the source places much of Infinity's daily flow.
Divided by the days between them, Infinity's two volume milestones show a slower second stretch. More than $113 billion in roughly its first year [2][3] works out to about $310 million a day [3]. The move from there to $150 billion added about $37 billion [1] over roughly six months, or about $200 million a day [2]. The second stretch ran some 35% below the first year's rate [4].
Cryptobriefing, which reported the milestone, wrote that the climb past $150 billion "suggests the pace did not fade after the launch glow wore off" [4]. Both milestones are rounded, one given as "more than" and the other as "past", but rounding cannot close a gap of this size. Holding the first-year rate for six more months would have taken about $57 billion, for a cumulative total near $170 billion [8].
The daily range the site quotes is harder to square. Held for six months, $270 million to $290 million a day adds $49 billion to $53 billion [5], well above the $37 billion the milestones imply. The likeliest reconciliation is a slow middle stretch followed by a recovery to that range in recent trading.
Trades are small. Across more than 250 million transactions, the first year's volume averages about $450 a swap [6].
The 90/10 split came with the Robinhood Chain and Arc launches, in what Cryptobriefing described as a change in economics [9]. The source does not give the split on BNB Chain or Base, or any fee tier, so protocol revenue on any chain cannot be worked out from it. On its two newest chains, PancakeSwap has chosen deposits over fee income.
If liquidity arrives on Robinhood Chain and Arc and traders follow, a 10% take on a growing base pays for itself. If providers come for the 90% but swaps stay on BSC, the protocol collects a tenth of thin volume. A third possibility is that hooks decide it, and developers stay wherever their custom pools already run [8].
I think the second outcome is closest to the record so far. The expansion is real and the pay is generous, but the flow the source singles out sits on BSC [6], and the overall pace has slowed since year one [4]. The view is wrong if a per-chain breakdown shows Robinhood Chain and Arc carrying a tenth or more of Infinity's daily volume. Volume outside BNB Chain is on Cryptobriefing's own list of next markers [10].
What to watch
- Whether PancakeSwap extends the 90/10 split to BNB Chain, Base or further networks, putting more of its volume under a 10% protocol take.
- The next cumulative update; at about $280 million a day Infinity would reach $200 billion roughly six months after October 2026, and a later date would point to the slower pace.
- An updated hooked-pool count against the roughly 60,000 reported for April 2026.
