FAQ

What is Pacifica DEX?

Pacifica crypto exchange is a Solana-based platform for trading perpetual futures. It allows traders to open leveraged long and short positions without using a traditional centralized futures exchange.

What are Pacifica trading fees?

Pacifica charges trading fees on perpetual trades. Maker and taker rates can change as the exchange updates its fee schedule or trading programs, so the current Pacifica fee schedule should be used for the exact rate. Fees are important to compare alongside liquidity, funding and execution because they directly affect the cost of frequent trading. You can find current fees on the main page - perpdexwars.com.

How should I read Pacifica’s open interest and volume?

Volume shows how much trading took place over a period, while open interest shows the value of positions that are still open. Looking at both is more useful than either metric alone: high volume can reflect short-term activity, while rising open interest usually means more capital is staying in the market.

Why does funding on Pacifica change?

Pacifica funding moves with the balance between long and short demand in each perpetual market (like as any crypto exchange). When positioning becomes heavily skewed to one side, the funding rate can increase or turn negative. The table above shows the current rates for the assets we track.

Where does the Pacifica data on this page come from?

PerpDEX Wars collects Pacifica market data from the exchange and aggregates it into venue-level open interest, volume, market share and historical changes. The page is designed to make Pacifica easier to compare with the wider Perp DEX market.
