Honestly one of the best crisis handlings I’ve seen. Kudos to @benbybit and the team. All founders should take note and learn from this.
some of you saw I am wearing a WHOOP and asked what is my stress monitor look like for last night. Here is it, I didn't get any single sleep, but actually looks not too bad, i guess i was too focused commanding all the meetings. Forgot to stress...I think it will come soon when i start to really grasp the concept of losing $1.5B FYI, I got told about the hack around 10pm my time.

Today's crypto market crash put exchanges to the test and the results speak for themselves. While the market experienced extreme volatility and many exchanges went down or suffered severe degradation, Pacifica remained rock solid: Zero downtime – our platform stayed up through the entire event Zero lag – no delays, no frozen screens, no missed opportunities Deep liquidity – our orderbooks maintained depth comparable to top-tier exchanges, even during peak volatility This is exactly the performance we've been building for our users. When traders needed reliable infrastructure most, Pacifica was there. We turned 4 months old today and this is just the beginning. We're continuing to optimize and strengthen our infrastructure to ensure that you can trade with confidence on Pacifica.

Happy week 3 points day- we've distributed 500,000 points! Our userbase has grown 2.5x over the last two weeks, with more than 10,000 people actively trading on @pacifica_fi. This growth trajectory is rare, and it's incredibly bullish that Pacifica can pull it off. The bigger Pacifica grows, the more value it's able to create back to users - this is a win-win for everyone. The entire perp dex vertical is booming, with more users onboarding and showing conviction in its potential. Pacifica is positioned at the forefront of this wave, and healthy competition only validates the massive opportunity we're capturing. This rising tide lifts all boats, but Pacifica's early momentum gives us a significant advantage. Users are the ultimate winners, and thank you for choosing Pacifica. Important timing details: - Snapshots occur every Thursday at 00:00 UTC - Point distributions happen every Thursday (UTC) We remain committed to rewarding both our early supporters and those showing long-term consistency on the platform. Thank you for your continued support and trust in what we're building - we are a team together! 🌊

Although I wasn't fortunate enough to get a Hypurr NFT myself, I have to admit it's one of the most stunning collections on the market today. Each piece has been crafted with impeccable attention to detail. The current floor price sits at 1628 $HYPE (~ $76,500), and Hypurr is poised for integration into numerous DApps across the HyperEVM ecosystem, including Hyperlend.

People often ask who's on Pacifica's team. This is one of my favorite questions because I feel extremely grateful to work alongside such a stellar group with diverse backgrounds. We have crypto experts from Binance, FTX, Coinbase, NFTperp; tradfi veterans from Jane Street, Fidelity; and AI pioneers from OpenAI, DeepMind, ByteDance. This unique combination positions us to solve the industry's core challenges: execution speed and quality, seamless user experience, and intelligent automation at scale. We're not just building faster infrastructure - we're reimagining how trading should feel. Read more: docs.pacifica.fi/about-pacif…

The zero-sum thinking in crypto is exhausting. One project's success doesn't require another's failure. Legitimate calling out is fine, but seeing founders FUD founders and communities celebrate competitors' crashes is sad. This isn't how we grow an industry; this is how we stay small. Let's aim to collectively expand the industry together. Respect each other and focus on building. Rising tide lifts all boats. 🌊

Another exchange? Really?" I've heard this skepticism since 2018. The space is crowded, teams constantly ship new platforms, and everyone promises to be revolutionary. But here's what years in crypto taught me: competition drives innovation that benefits everyone. When platforms push each other forward, users win, even if you only use one platform. Great builders don't stop building just because something amazing already exists. Here's our take at Pacifica.
Today, we launch Pacifica's closed beta. app.pacifica.fi I know what you're thinking: "Another perp DEX?" Let me tell you why this one matters.

Thank you for being on this journey with us sir
Just watched @pacifica_fi hit $1.5B in daily volume. One month after mainnet launch. I spend most of my time digging into new protocols in web3. Looking for what actually works, not just what pumps. Pacifica is the fastest-growing perp DEX I've tracked. The numbers tell the story: 16k users, $13B total volume since September. But what caught my attention is the execution speed. Self-funded team. No VC dump incoming. Already profitable. Building for 10-20 years, not the next token unlock. When a protocol goes from zero to top 2 on Solana in weeks without paid mercenaries or wash trading, that's signal above noise. Not financial advice. But if you're spending time learning about new infrastructure in web3, this one deserves your attention.

A month ago on June 10th, we launched our closed beta with mainnet. Six months of building while everyone said it was impossible to launch something this complex so fast. “You are too late,” they said. “You should have started building 2 years ago.” I thought we could do it, so I brushed away the noise and kept my head down building. We started from scratch. Alpha testnet in 3 months, closed beta with mainnet in 6. No copy-paste shortcuts, just pure dedication to building a better product and countless sleepless nights. We didn’t raise any fund so there were no paid shills or monthly retainer. Our incentive programs haven’t launched. We are honest with everyone who found us and wanted to work with us about what we can offer and what we can’t. At the precise one-month mark of our closed beta launch, we hit $10M daily volume - all organic growth. Every day since launch brings more volume, more users. But what truly excites me is waking up to the same group of people fighting alongside me, all sharing this wild dream of building something great and changing the world. People ask why I chose to build another exchange from scratch. This feeling right here is part of the answer. If there is gonna be more than one platform you want to trade on, Pacifica will be one of them. Like always, I’m grateful for all the support. Excited for what's next. Pacifica 🌊
Pacifica has reached a new ATH 24h volume of $10m USD! 🥳 Much love to every one of our users in the past month. We couldn't have asked for a better one-month present, and every milestone makes all the late nights and early mornings worth it. ❤️ Onward and upward! 🌊

We listen to our community and we ship!
One of the main reason why i consider @pacifica_fi gonna be #1 dex on Solana and will maintain that position is the team. I started trading on @pacifica_fi less than 2 weeks i saw some improvments that they could make, i shared my ideas on their discord and in less than a week they implemented them: -told them about a points channel they made it -told them to lower the fees they did -told them to make a points card just like the pnl cards(and im sure they will implement this one soon) Like i said the team is open for every improvment that their users share and they listen to their users and that is a small big thing.

Make trading hot again
One neat but lesser known feature @pacifica_fi has added is customizable hotkeys (I've just started playing around with them myself). It lets you assign keyboard shortcuts for opening positions (both market and limit), closing them, and flipping them. E.g. If you commonly open a limit long at mid-price with 1% of your port and a 50% stoploss, you can assign that configuration to ctrl + z: The full list of actions you can set shortcuts for is: -Market orders and limit orders: You can set size (port % or $) and TP/SL. For limit orders, you can choose mid-point or a % offset from CMP. -Flip: switch current position from long-> short or vice-versa -Market close current position -Market close all positions -Cancel all open orders A few tips to get started 1. Hotkeys are disabled by default. To enable, goto Settings (⚙️) -> General -> Enable turbo mode You'll also see the "Hotkeys" tab where you can edit/add/remove configurations. 2. You'll see a few built-in hotkeys. By default these are assigned to Cmd + <letter>. On Windows, I had to switch to Ctrl to get them to work (You'll probably want to create your own configurations anyway) 3. Buy/sell/close position applies to whatever pair you're on, and with whatever leverage you've already set. 4. For limit orders, you can choose the mid-price or price offset %. For the latter, pay attention to sign (e.g. -1% for 1% less than the CMP) 5. Don't let kitty step on the keyboard 🐈

@pacifica_fi could be the next Aster and it’s still super early 👀 Pacifica isn’t just another perp DEX, it’s being built by OGs like @ConstanceWaing , previously COO at FTX. so you don’t want to fade this perp DEX on Solana. Right now it’s in Closed Beta → you’ll need an invite code to access. I tried it myself and the trading flow is smooth as CEX, but fully on-chain On top of that, they’re distributing 500K weekly points to early traders (every Thursday). This might be the perp play to watch on Solana. 🎥I recorded a quick video guide to show exactly how smooth it is to trade on Pacifica.👇

Hotkey let you react faster when volatility happens
Lurking around the discords of the upcoming perp dexes, across the board it seems traders are asking for Hotkeys… If you haven't tried it out on, @pacifica_fi yet, I think it is one of the more underrated features of the platform. The community was asking for it, and as they usually do... the team shipped the feature the next week. If you like to trade perps, it is awesome having a team who ships what you want. What are Hotkeys? It lets you execute trades directly from your keyboard. No need to click a bunch of times. The advantage is the seconds saved. If I am trading with higher leverage, it gives me a little more sanity on fast market moves. If you’re a high-frequency trader or just someone who wants quick execution, add this to your bag. Check out the video below for a walk through anddddd try it out here: app.pacifica.fi/?referral=nb… Treyway. 🌊
