Sub-account volume counts toward the master account and fees are settled on each fill. | 0.06% per open or closeNo order book and no maker/taker split on the JLP markets (SOL, ETH, wBTC): a 0.06% base fee is charged on open and on close, plus a price-impact fee that grows with the clip and rises further when your trade increases the recent long/short imbalance on the asset above a threshold, an hourly borrow fee, and a swap fee of 10 bps (2 bps between two stablecoins) when the input token has to be converted. Beta markets charge a taker or maker fee per order plus an hourly funding rate instead. |

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 stock perps. The 0.06% base fee is the highest of the series, and borrow fees keep accruing while a position is open.
