Solana-Based Pacifica Upgrades Engine Shard, Reaches $38B in Trading Volume with 27k Users and Launches VIP Plan

Pacifica, a Solana-based perpetual contracts platform, announced the completed first phase of its engine shard upgrade, a move designed to improve order execution and overall trading reliability.

The exchange reported total trading volume above $38 billion, a weekly volume above $5 billion, and an active user base near 27,000, illustrating durable market activity.

Concurrently, the upgrade boosted all user point balances by 20x, with the protocol set to normalize weekly distributions of 10 million points starting October 30.

Additionally, Pacifica unveiled a new VIP plan that preserves the same fee tier tied to the 14-day trading volume on other exchanges, and offers invitation rebate rewards with no threshold.
