Which one should you pick?
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.

Pick Extended if
Fee level is your deciding criterion and you want crypto and RWA markets on the same account.
The cheapest taker fee in the series at 0.025%, on a venue built by an ex-Revolut team that settles entirely on Arc, the L1 developed by Circle. Deposits are accepted from seven EVM chains in USDC, ETH or cirBTC, which removes the usual bridging detour.
