Solana-Based Pacifica Increases Weekly Point Distribution to 10 Million, With 1 Point Requiring About $250 in Trading Volume

Pacifica, a Solana-based perpetual contracts trading platform, announced this week that it will increase the normalized distribution of points to 10 million, with payouts occurring every Thursday at 0:00 UTC. The move aims to bolster liquidity incentives and align with the platform’s broader capital-formation strategy.

Current metrics show Pacifica serving more than 27,000 active users and reporting a weekly trading volume above $5 billion, underscoring its scale within the Solana ecosystem. Based on last week’s distribution, the estimated cost to acquire 1 point in the next cycle is roughly $250 in cumulative trading volume.

The update is slated to take effect this week, with the explicit goal of rebalancing liquidity incentives. Market participants are advised to align strategies with the new payout framework and track Thursday’s distributions for real-time visibility into reward potential.
