How to Purchase NEAR Protocol (NEAR) with PancakeSwap (CAKE)

To purchase NEAR Protocol using PancakeSwap, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the NEAR/CAKE trading pair, such as YouHodler. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your CAKE into your exchange wallet. Locate the NEAR/CAKE pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your PancakeSwap for NEAR Protocol. If the NEAR/CAKE pair is unavailable, you can first exchange PancakeSwap for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for NEAR Protocol. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
