Pancake Swap recently introduced locked Syrup Pools, and thus changed the way their emissions work.. Gone are the days when residing in the unlocked pool would yield 60%+ APY.
Our CAKE vault currently resides within their "flexy pool" yielding a miserable 8% APR. The APR is small, but this pool allows us to unstake the CAKE at any moment should we need to. The unlocked dividends from this pool have historically been used to pay DC5 dividends.
Pancake Swap's new fixed APR pool, allows us to lock up the CAKE for a duration to get a higher yield in return. Currently, if we lock for 52 Weeks we get an APR of a massive 168%.. but this yield cannot be touched for the entire 52 week duration. DC5 divs cannot be emitted from this pool, and other DC5 utility alternatives will be considered should this pass.
This is a vote to decide on whether we remain in the 8% APR flexy pool, or lock up for 52W in the 168% fixed pool.
