Until 0 bps maker fees end · Genesis Phase
BULK's Genesis Phase waives maker fees for the first 30 days of mainnet.
The Precedent
Hyperliquid distributed 31% of HYPE to early users. At peak, that was worth billions. BULK confirmed the same 30% community allocation structure — and mainnet is now live. Trading activity, not just deposits, is what earns AURA from here.
Not financial advice. Past distributions do not guarantee future outcomes.
Get Mainnet Access →Mainnet is invite-only. Here's how pre-depositors and new traders both get in and keep earning AURA.
Step 1: Get Invite-Only Access
Go to app.bulk.trade with a referral link or an access code. Pre-depositors already have day-1 access and their own starting batch of codes.
Step 2: Trade With Converted Margin
If you pre-deposited, your USDC already converted to margin — connect your wallet and trade immediately. New traders deposit USDC to fund their account.
Step 3: Hold BulkSOL
BulkSOL holders earn base staking yield, MEV tips, and 12.5% of all BULK Exchange trading fees now that mainnet is live.
Step 4: Trade for More Access Codes
Every $1M in trading volume unlocks one more access code each week — on top of your pre-deposit allotment. Codes reset weekly and do not roll over.
BulkSOL
Standard SOL staking rewards. BulkSOL accrues staking yield automatically — no claiming required.
BULK validators earn priority fees and MEV from Solana block production, passed through to BulkSOL holders.
No other Solana LST shares exchange fee revenue. As BULK mainnet trading volume grows, this yield stream grows with it.
BulkSOL holders continue to earn AURA through mainnet activity. Stack the LST yields and the AURA allocation simultaneously.
BULK Exchange
BULK is an L0 execution layer running alongside Solana — purpose-built for CEX-grade speed with non-custodial settlement.
Solana blocks take 400ms. Hyperliquid runs ~200ms. BULK targets 5–20ms via its dedicated consensus and matching engine — in a different performance category entirely.
No single sequencer. No censorship point. Validators run Fisher-Yates shuffled fair ordering with WyRand PRNG — MEV and frontrunning are eliminated at the protocol level.
Hedge a gold position with gold collateral and BULK's risk engine recognises the correlation — up to 70% more capital-efficient than isolated margin. The same model used in traditional futures markets, now onchain.
Up to 64 sub-accounts per master. Gasless, sub-20ms transfers between any accounts on the network. Institutional-grade account structure with non-custodial security.
Assets custody sits on Solana. FROST threshold signatures require supermajority consensus to move funds — no single validator can touch your capital.
Anyone will be able to list a perpetual market — tokenized gold, memecoins, RWAs. The infrastructure is built; BIP-1 is the unlock.

Onchain perp DEX volume peaked at $1.36T in October 2025, then fell for five straight months to a 2026 low in April. It has not recovered — the last 30 days totaled roughly $423B, with Hyperliquid alone now taking ~58% share. Here is who is gaining, who is down 74% in three months, who is rebuilding after a $285M hack, and where BULK Exchange — live on mainnet since September 5 — fits into a shrinking, consolidating market.

Aster is the multichain leverage leader — up to 1001x, tokenized stocks, its own L1. BULK Exchange is a Solana-native CLOB with correlation-adjusted portfolio margin. This comparison covers fees, leverage, architecture, and which trader profile each one actually serves.
Velocity DEX is Drift Protocol under a new name, relaunching after the $285M April 2026 hack with a $127.5M Tether credit line. Its post-fork code is still awaiting a published audit report. BULK Exchange has been live on mainnet since September 5, 2026, with a completed Zellic audit. Here is the honest comparison.
FAQ
Yes — BULK mainnet launched September 5, 2026. Pre-deposits were converted to trading margin during the launch-day network upgrade, and invite-only trading opened at 9am EST the same day. Season 1 pre-deposits are closed.
It converted automatically to usable trading margin — no action required. It remains withdrawable at any time from your account. You also received day-1 invite-only mainnet access and a starting batch of access codes sized to your pre-deposit.
Referral links persist from pre-deposit into mainnet. During the invite-only period, new referrals also need an access code — codes automatically attach to your referral link. Pre-depositors got a starting allotment by tier; everyone earns one more code per $1M in trading volume, resetting weekly.
BulkSOL is BULK Exchange's native liquid staking token. Swap SOL → BulkSOL on Titan Exchange. It earns base staking yield, MEV tips, and 12.5% of all BULK Exchange trading fees now that mainnet is live. BulkSOL holders also continue to earn AURA through mainnet activity.
Hyperliquid is an isolated EVM chain. BULK settles on Solana, meaning BulkSOL can simultaneously sit in Exponent as collateral, earn Loopscale yield, and accrue BULK Aura points — while being used on the exchange. That composability is structurally impossible on Hyperliquid.
