The Pacifica Points program recognizes and rewards users who contribute to the platform’s growth through genuine trading activity. Points are distributed weekly to eligible participants and are earned exclusively through organic engagement — there is no way to buy them, and no prior allocation was made to any party.

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.

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.
The following activities are explicitly excluded from points eligibility: self-trading, sybil attacks, wash trading, and any other form of market manipulation. Accounts identified as engaging in these activities will not receive points and may be subject to further action.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many activities are tracked by the points program, including trading volume, frequency, and other contribution metrics. Attribution for different activities may be applied immediately or over several distributions as the team evaluates ongoing activity.
The program is structured to balance early supporters and long-term contributors fairly. Being an early user does not automatically yield disproportionate rewards over the life of the program.
No. Discrete or costless actions do not yield rewards in isolation. Having 100 accounts provides no advantage over one account that trades actively and organically.
No. There was no prior allocation and there is no way to purchase points. Points can only be earned through trading and genuine platform contributions.
Pacifica does not actively police secondary market activity, but strongly discourages any trading of points for security and fairness reasons. Such activity is not condoned by the team.
Very few Pacifica team members have full visibility. The formula is kept opaque to ensure fairness and prevent abuse. Only Pacifica’s community members are eligible to earn points.
