Is PancakeSwap Infinity Safe?

|DEX
B

Risk Grade: B (25/100)

PancakeSwap Infinity is rated as moderate risk — some novel mechanisms, generally well-understood.

Moderate risk — established DEX brand with strong deflationary tokenomics, but the new hook system introduces an untested attack surface that users should monitor carefully

PancakeSwap Infinity is the latest upgrade to one of DeFi's largest decentralized exchanges, introducing a modular 'hooks' system that lets developers customize pool behavior. Managing $60M in liquidity across BNB Chain, Base, and other networks, it offers flexible trading with concentrated and standard liquidity pools. Its B risk grade reflects the new attack surface from third-party hooks — code that can interact with your funds during every swap.

Key Risks for PancakeSwap Infinity Users

1.

Third-party hooks attached to pools can contain bugs or malicious code that may put your liquidity at risk

2.

Upgradeable hook contracts could be modified by their owners to drain funds from pools

3.

Operating across many blockchains means more potential points of failure

Top Risk Factors

  • Third-party hooks can be attached to any pool, introducing arbitrary smart contract risk — a malicious or buggy hook could drain LP funds or manipulate swap pricing.
  • Upgradeable hook contracts with privileged addresses create rug-pull vectors: a compromised upgrade authority could inject malicious withdrawal functions.
  • PancakeSwap's multi-chain expansion (BNB, Base, Ethereum, etc.) increases attack surface, with each deployment potentially introducing chain-specific vulnerabilities.
