You must follow the stance of your own trusted scholar or shaykh in matters where legitimate scholarly differences exist.

Shaykh Dr. Sajid Umar, Personal blog/guidance piece
PancakeSwap

PancakeSwap is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 68.5/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective. Muslims should also carefully evaluate any DeFi protocols built on this platform to avoid interest-based applications.

Before investing, screening crypto-assets for Shariah compliance is "absolutely essential." This includes legitimacy, project, financials, token, and staking mechanism screenings.
