Decentralized finance [DeFi] protocol, PancakeSwap has witnessed a meteoric rise based on several metrics over the past couple of months. It has hit yet another milestone which indicated that its popularity has not taken a step back despite less buzz in terms of social media discourse. 

According to Dapp Radar’s latest report, PancakeSwap, which happens to be one of the largest Binance Smart Chain DeFi platforms has surpassed an astonishing 1.7 million active wallets in the last seven days. What is even more interesting is that approximately half of this figure came in the last 24 hours.
