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 Jupiter Perps if
You already live in the Jupiter ecosystem and want perps without leaving the app or the mobile client.
Perps are one tab inside the largest Solana app: three markets trade against the JLP pool, with leverage up to 250x, and six Beta markets add JUP, HYPE, ZEC and tokenised stocks. The 0.06% base fee is the highest of the series, and borrow fees keep accruing while a position is open.
