How Points Work
The program launched on Thursday, September 4th at 00:00 UTC. Every week, a fixed pool of points is allocated across all eligible accounts based on their relative trading contributions.| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Weekly allocation | 10,000,000 points |
| Snapshot schedule | Every Thursday at 00:00 UTC |
| Distribution window | Within 24 hours of each snapshot |
Points distributions occur within 24 hours of the Thursday snapshot. The exact timing may vary slightly week to week.
How to Earn Points
Earn points by engaging in organic trading activity on Pacifica — through the web interface or directly via the API. Both spot and perpetual trading activity are tracked across multiple dimensions, and attribution for different activities may happen immediately or be applied over time across several distributions.Points Formula
The allocation formula is dynamic and opaque by design. It is updated weekly as platform usage evolves, allowing the Pacifica team to balance incentives fairly without creating opportunities for gaming. Only a small number of Pacifica team members have visibility into the full formula at any given time.Having multiple accounts provides no advantage. Discrete or costless actions do not yield rewards in isolation — 100 accounts offer no edge over a single well-active account.
