Pacifica review
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.

Perpetual futures are leveraged: a small move against you can liquidate your position. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
- Trading fees
- 0.040% taker · 0.015% makerFees come from your rolling 30-day volume: 0.040% taker and 0.015% maker up to $5M, then 0.038%/0.012% above $5M and 0.036%/0.009% above $10M. From $100M of volume the maker fee is 0% and the taker fee bottoms out at 0.028%. Sub-account volume counts toward the master account and fees are settled on each fill.

How to start safely
- Open the official app
Type app.pacifica.fi yourself or use a bookmark: phishing copies of perp exchanges are common.
- Deposit a small amount first
Send a test deposit of the collateral the exchange accepts, on the chain it documents, before moving more.
- Set leverage and a stop before the order
Pick isolated margin for a new trade, keep leverage low, and place the stop-loss with the order, not after.
- Watch funding and liquidation price
Funding is paid regularly while a position is open, and the liquidation price moves closer as leverage rises.
