Pacific Multi-Chain Layout: Unified Margin Testing, Self-Developed Public Chain, and the Ecosystem Ambition of the Solana Perpetual Platform

Among the multiple technological advancements announced by Pacific on January 15, the unified margin system has completed development and is expected to go live on the testnet soon. Meanwhile, its self-developed Layer 1 public chain DevNet has been stably running for a week. This not only marks Pacific’s upgrade from a single trading platform to a comprehensive ecosystem platform but also reflects its determination to accelerate expansion within the Solana ecosystem. Coupled with the hot performance of the Pacifica points ecosystem and the overall activity in the Perp DEX market, Pacific is strengthening its competitiveness across multiple dimensions.

Three-tier Progression of Technological Upgrades

The Testing Journey of the Unified Margin System

The unified margin system has completed development and is expected to launch on the testnet soon. The core significance of this system is that users can manage multiple positions with a single account, rather than locking funds separately for each contract. This design directly improves capital efficiency, especially for high-frequency traders and institutional users. Compared to traditional isolated margin models, unified margin allows traders to allocate risk more flexibly across different markets.

From market practice, this is a standard upgrade for Perp DEX platforms. Leading platforms like Hyperliquid have already supported it, and Pacific’s adoption indicates its emphasis on optimizing user experience.

Ambitions for Layer 1 Public Chain

Pacific’s self-developed Layer 1 public chain is even more noteworthy. According to the latest news, its DevNet has been running stably for a week, with plans to support EVM compatibility, smart contracts, and a high-performance verification system. What does this mean?

• Users can deploy contracts directly within Pacific’s ecosystem without relying on Solana
• Providing scalable, verifiable transaction infrastructure for institutional users and ecosystem projects
• In the long term, signaling Pacific’s evolution toward an independent ecosystem

This is not just a simple technical showcase but a preparation for future ecosystem independence. Once the Layer 1 goes live stably, Pacific will no longer be just an application within the Solana ecosystem but a platform with its own infrastructure.

Mobile and Vaults as Supplements

In addition to the two core developments above, Pacific is also developing a mobile app and Vaults (fund repositories). Mobile access means broader user reach, while Vaults offer new ways for fund management. These seemingly complementary features are actually enhancing Pacific’s full-chain user experience.

Ecosystem Incentives Driving Activity

Effectiveness of the Points Mechanism

Pacific distributed 10 million points this week, allowing users to follow high-frequency traders and earn points via Coinbob Pacifica tools. The effectiveness of this mechanism has been validated by data.

According to official Pacifica data, a high-frequency trading address (4TYE) with about $300,000 principal achieved a trading volume of $1.2 billion, with nearly $650,000 in profit, ranking first in monthly profit. Based on this trading volume, this address is expected to accumulate approximately 47,000 points. Assuming the points program continues for 22 weeks and the airdrop distribution ratio is 25%, it could exchange for about 53,000 tokens.

What does this indicate? The points incentive is attracting truly active traders. They are not only earning trading profits but also accumulating chips for potential airdrops. This dual incentive model is crucial for sustained platform engagement.

Market Competitiveness Benchmark

Looking at market data for Perp DEXs, Pacific’s sector for perpetual contracts is still dominated by Hyperliquid:

Although Pacific is not listed separately in this latest data, the rising popularity of Pacifica as a related ecosystem project indicates increasing attraction within the Pacific ecosystem.

Future Outlook

Pacific’s multi-pronged approach points to a clear direction: evolving from a perpetual contract platform within the Solana ecosystem to an independent trading ecosystem with its own infrastructure.

The testing of the unified margin system prepares for user experience optimization. The stable operation of the Layer 1 public chain lays the foundation for ecosystem independence. The effective drive of the points incentive mechanism accumulates users and activity for future token airdrops. These three elements complement each other, forming a relatively complete upgrade pathway.

In the short term, these developments will continue to attract traders to accumulate points on Pacific. In the medium term, the launch of the unified margin system will improve user experience and potentially increase trading volume. In the long term, the independent operation of the Layer 1 public chain will determine whether Pacific can truly stand out from the Solana ecosystem and become an independent trading infrastructure.

Summary

Pacific’s technological upgrades are not just isolated breakthroughs but a systematic ecosystem enhancement. The three-tier progression—unified margin system, self-developed Layer 1 public chain, and points incentive mechanism—demonstrates Pacific’s ambition to evolve from a trading platform into an ecosystem platform. The most critical current focus is the progress of the Layer 1 public chain from DevNet to mainnet, which will determine whether Pacific can truly achieve ecosystem independence. For traders, the current points incentive period is a key window to participate in the Pacific ecosystem, with the final value of points depending on the long-term development of the ecosystem.
