According to DEX’s announcement, this edition comes with the integration of the platform’s native token, CAKE. 

“Pancake Protectors, powered by the PvP GameFi protocol Mobox, immerses players in thrilling missions where the strategic placement of hero towers is critical. What sets this edition apart is the integration of CAKE, the native token of PancakeSwap. This integration allows players to utilize CAKE tokens within the game and earn rewards while enjoying the gameplay,” the DEX states on its blog.

There are a number of benefits and utilities players will be able to access when using CAKE in Pancake Protectors including claiming game heroes, recharging certain in-game resources, unlocking new levels that will in turn deliver extra rewards, and staking the token to earn additional in-game assets.

However, according to the Pseudonymous Head Chef of Pancake Swap, Mochi,  this game is not play-to-earn, due to the platform avoiding the use of inflationary models to drive the game’s growth. 

5/ The game is not a play-to-earn type of game. Our larger goal of reaching ultrasound CAKE means that we are not using inflationary models that increase CAKE emissions to drive the game's growth.
