Which one should you pick?
Pick edgeX if
You trade an order book and want stock and forex perps next to crypto.
A serious order book with the same base rate as Hyperliquid on the taker side, but a maker fee where Hyperliquid pays a rebate. The venue lists almost 300 contracts including stock and forex perps, and the fee tiers are the easiest of the series to read.

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.
