Pacifica uses a volume-based tiered fee structure. Your fee tier is determined by your total executed trading volume over the previous 14 rolling days and updates automatically every day. Lower fees are available to higher-volume traders, with VIP tiers offering zero maker fees for accounts that exceed $100 million in 14-day volume.Documentation Index

- Maker fee applies when your order adds liquidity to the order book (resting limit orders that are not immediately matched).
- Taker fee applies when your order removes liquidity from the order book (market orders, and limit orders that match immediately).
All volume thresholds refer to your total executed trading volume in USD equivalent across all markets. Fees are settled automatically for each trade at the moment of execution.
How Fee Tiers Work
Volume is tracked on a 14-day rolling basis
Pacifica calculates your total executed volume over the past 14 calendar days, updating the figure continuously as new trades settle.
Tier is assigned daily
Fee tiers are evaluated and assigned once per day. If your rolling volume has crossed a new threshold since the last update, your tier will be upgraded automatically at the next daily recalculation.
VIP Tiers
VIP 1 through VIP 3 tiers provide zero maker fees, meaning you pay nothing to add liquidity to Pacifica’s order book. Taker fees continue to apply but are reduced to the lowest rates available on the platform (0.030% down to 0.028%).Builder Code Fee Rebate
Pacifica operates a builder programme for teams and individuals who integrate Pacifica’s trading API into their products, interfaces, or bots. Builders who generate volume through their integrations may be eligible for fee rebates through builder codes. If you are building on top of Pacifica — whether a trading interface, algorithmic strategy, or third-party tool — contact the Pacifica team through the community channels or the Contact Us page to learn more about the builder programme and apply for a builder code.Fee rates apply uniformly to perpetual and spot markets. There is currently no separate fee schedule for spot versus perpetuals — the same maker/taker tier structure governs both instrument types.
