About Pacifica
Pacifica is a next-generation hybrid perpetual futures exchange on Solana that combines centralized exchange performance with decentralized self-custody and transparency. It uses an off-chain central limit order book (CLOB) for sub-20ms execution while all settlements, deposits, and withdrawals happen on-chain and non-custodially. Founded in January 2025 by former FTX COO Constance Wang and team members from Binance, Coinbase, Jane Street, Fidelity, OpenAI, and DeepMind. Notably self-funded with no external VC capital — meaning no seed allocations, no VC overhang, and potentially a more generous token distribution to early users.
