According to Pancakeswap developers, the latest iteration features improved capital efficiency, allowing liquidity providers to concentrate capital more efficiently.
While Pancakeswap v2 features a standard fee of 0.25%, users of Pancakeswap v3 can choose from four different fee tiers, which include 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%, and 1%.
