Swim is Pacifica’s live prediction game. Watch a market price chart, tap the zones you think the price will move into, and get paid out when you’re right. More pairs are coming soon.

​
How Swim Works

The chart sits on top of a live grid of boxes. Each box covers a fixed price range vertically and a fixed time window horizontally, so every cell represents a specific price zone at a specific moment ahead. Tap a box and you’re predicting that price will pass through it. If it does, you collect your bet multiplied by that box’s payout.

​
Trading

  • Pick a bet size
  • Tap zones on the grid as the chart moves
  • Collect bet × multiplier any time price enters a zone you tapped

​
How Multipliers Work

Zone multipliers ladder based on distance in time and price from the current price. The further the zone, the higher the band. These numbers shift constantly as the chart moves. Nothing is locked in until the price actually reaches it. Once you tap a zone, the multiplier shown at that moment is locked in for your bet, regardless of how the grid shifts afterward.

​
Golden Boxes

Golden boxes are special boxes that contain a share of the golden prize pool. They are highlighted with a combination of visual effects, making them easy to distinguish from regular boxes. Golden boxes work just like every other box:
  • Tap a golden box to place your prediction
  • Win when the market price enters it
  • The same timing, multiplier, and settlement rules apply
The golden prize pool accumulates over time as a progressive pot. Each day, the available prize is divided among the golden boxes appearing that day.

Golden boxes appear daily between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM UTC.

​
Balance

Swim trades draw directly from your Pacifica trading balance, the same one you use for spot and perps. No separate deposit needed, no extra steps.

​
Oracle

Swim reads live orderbook prices from leading centralized and decentralized venues, and then aggregates their short term EWMA through a venue-weighted mean.
