PancakeSwap Takes Documentation Offline After GitBook Security Incident

The team said the app and documentation were not compromised and directed users to links on PancakeSwap’s official website.

PancakeSwap temporarily removed its documentation from public access after a security incident involving pages hosted on GitBook, describing the move as a precaution for users seeking project guidance.

The team said neither the PancakeSwap app nor its documentation was compromised. Users were directed to rely only on links published through PancakeSwap’s official website. The instruction gives users an official route to the project while its documentation remains unavailable.

The incident centers on GitBook-hosted material, while PancakeSwap’s response is to keep its own documentation offline as a safety measure. PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange that lets users trade cryptocurrencies directly on a blockchain. Its documentation provides guidance for using the project, so the temporary removal affects access to instructions even as the team says the app itself was not compromised.

Users seeking project guidance have been told to begin at PancakeSwap’s official website and use only links published there.
