# Features

## ↔️ Trade <a href="#trade" id="trade"></a>

> Instantly swap crypto tokens: no registration or account needed.

### The people's choice <a href="#the-peoples-choice" id="the-peoples-choice"></a>

Metaple is the leading decentralized exchange on BNB Smart Chain.

### Low fees <a href="#low-fees" id="low-fees"></a>

Why pay more? Metaple runs on BNB Smart Chain, a blockchain with much lower transaction costs than Ethereum or Bitcoin. Trading fees are lower than other top decentralized exchanges too, so that's a double win for you!

### Decentralized <a href="#decentralized" id="decentralized"></a>

Trade directly from your wallet app. Unlike centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, Metaple doesn’t hold your funds when you trade: **you have 100% ownership of your own crypto**.

## 💸 Earn <a href="#earn" id="earn"></a>

> Earn MLX and other tokens for free with super high interest rates.

### Earn tokens with Staking Pools <a href="#earn-tokens-with-syrup-pools" id="earn-tokens-with-syrup-pools"></a>

Stake MLX, earn free tokens. It’s really that easy. New projects join the party every day, so you can earn more, for even longer.

### Earn MLX with Farming Pools <a href="#earn-cake-with-yield-farms" id="earn-cake-with-yield-farms"></a>

Stake LP tokens, earn MLX. You take on a little more exposure to market fluctuations than with the Staking Pools, but can earn higher APR to offset the risk.

### Earn Trading Fees <a href="#earn-trading-fees" id="earn-trading-fees"></a>

No farm? No problem. Even if your trading pair isn’t supported on the Farms page, you can still earn trading fees when you stake your tokens in Liquidity Pools (LPs).
