Which one should you pick?
Pick ApeX Omni if
You already know you will stake APEX or trade enough volume to reach the VIP tiers.
A large multi-chain book: 100x leverage, more than a hundred perpetual contracts, and a VIP ladder that can take fees to zero. The catch is that the base rate (5 bps) is the second highest of the series, and the affiliate share is only visible once connected.

Pick Pacifica if
You trade on Solana and want published taker and maker fees without a points-first story.
The most readable fee ladder of the series, on a Solana book with unified spot and collateral margin. Keep in mind that $10.4B of 30-day volume is real but modest next to the top three venues, and that the points program is the main growth engine.
