Pacifica Trading Bot Platform
Automate Pacifica Crypto Trading with Origami Tech
Use a dedicated Agent Wallet to authorize a crypto trading bot for Pacifica spot or perpetual markets. Set the rules for orders and positions, then monitor collateral and execution from one workspace
Separate a Strategy Before It Starts Trading
Pacifica uses API Agent Keys, also called Agent Wallets, for programmatic crypto trading. Origami Tech connects through this separate wallet, so the original account wallet remains the account identifier while the Agent Wallet signs the requests used for bot execution
Create a dedicated Agent Wallet for Origami Tech rather than using the private key of the wallet that owns your Pacifica account. This gives the crypto trading bot the ability to act on your behalf through the API connection without exposing the primary wallet key to the application.
Pacifica supports cross margin that is unified with spot collateral, as well as isolated margin for perpetual positions. Before creating a strategy, decide whether its available collateral should be shared across the account or reserved for a specific position, because this choice changes how you evaluate risk and available capital.
Spot and perpetual markets have different mechanics. A spot crypto trading bot works with available asset balances, while a perpetual strategy needs to account for leverage, margin, funding, and liquidation conditions. Origami Tech lets you create separate crypto bot trading logic for the market you select.
Each Pacifica market defines its own tick size and lot size. Price and amount values must match those increments, otherwise the exchange rejects the order. Review the market requirements before launching a strategy that uses repeated orders, partial closes, or small position adjustments.
Connect Pacifica to Origami Tech
Choose a spot pair or perpetual contract, then check its available collateral and trading requirements. For perpetual crypto trading, also review the selected margin mode, leverage, and the portion of the account the strategy may use.
Create an API Agent Key in Pacifica and store its credentials securely. The Agent Wallet signs the crypto trading requests, while your original wallet stays linked to the Pacifica account.
In Origami Tech, open Accounts, select Add Account, and choose Pacifica. Complete the connection with the required account and Agent Wallet details, then confirm that the account is available for crypto trading bot configuration.
Create a crypto trading bot from a preset or configure custom conditions for the selected Pacifica market. Define how the bot reacts to price changes, existing orders, account values, and open positions, then check the configuration before activation.
Any Questions?
Origami Tech lets you run rule-based trading strategies on Pacifica markets from the Origami Tech platform. You configure the strategy logic and its conditions in Origami Tech, while Pacifica provides the perpetual market and applies its own execution, margin, funding, and liquidation rules. Review these Pacifica-specific mechanics before launch, especially when using Cross Margin or spot assets as collateral.
On Pacifica, USDC, unrealised PnL from cross-margin perpetuals, and eligible spot assets contribute to one account-equity figure. A bot trading perpetuals in Cross Margin therefore uses the account’s combined collateral rather than a separately funded position balance. Review the entire account exposure, not only the USDC allocated to one strategy.
Yes. Eligible spot assets can contribute collateral value to a Cross Margin account, allowing perpetual positions to use that value without first converting every asset to USDC. Their usable collateral value depends on Pacifica’s LTV rules and collateral limits, so a spot balance should not be treated as equivalent to its full market value.
Pacifica calculates unrealised PnL, margin requirements, and liquidation risk using its Mark Price rather than the last traded price alone. The Mark Price incorporates oracle, order-book, and external perpetual-market data. When configuring risk limits, account for this distinction instead of relying only on the bot’s latest fill.
Pacifica can use implicit borrowing when the account has sufficient eligible spot collateral. If the USDC balance becomes negative, interest accrues on the outstanding amount. A strategy using Cross Margin should therefore consider not only position exposure but also whether its spot collateral can support the borrow.
A withdrawal can be limited when the account has open Cross Margin positions, outstanding borrowing, or spot assets currently counted as collateral. Before moving USDC or spot assets, check whether the remaining account equity still covers perpetual-margin requirements and any outstanding debt.
