Pacifica
A high-performance perpetual futures DEX on Solana with CEX-grade execution, up to 50x leverage, and full self-custody.
Aperçu
Pacifica is a decentralized perpetual futures exchange built natively on Solana. Founded in early 2025 by a team that includes former FTX, Binance, Coinbase, Jane Street, and Fidelity operators, it pairs an off-chain matching engine with on-chain settlement, so traders get sub-10 millisecond execution while keeping custody of their funds. Collateral is held in USDC, and positions never expire thanks to a funding-rate mechanism that anchors contract prices to spot.
The platform lists more than 20 perpetual markets covering assets such as SOL, BTC, and ETH, with leverage from 5x to 50x across both cross and isolated margin. Maker and taker fees sit around 0.015% and 0.04%, and AI-assisted order tools, liquidation indicators, and fast USDC withdrawals round out a centralized-exchange-style interface. After its June 2025 mainnet launch, Pacifica grew quickly, surpassing Jupiter to become the top Solana perp DEX by daily volume and crossing 100 billion dollars in cumulative trading volume by early 2026.
Pacifica suits active perpetual traders who want centralized-exchange responsiveness without surrendering custody. To get started, connect a Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack, or create one with email, Google, or X, deposit USDC, and trade. Detailed guides, an API, and an ongoing points program are documented at docs.pacifica.fi.
Le problème
Solana traders have long had to choose between the speed and order types of centralized exchanges and the custody and transparency of DeFi. On-chain perp venues often lag on latency, depth, and execution quality, pushing serious volume back to offshore CEXs.
