Is BULK mainnet live?

Yes. BULK mainnet launched September 5, 2026. All pre-deposits 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.

What happened to my pre-deposit?

It converted automatically to usable trading margin — no action required. It remains withdrawable at any time. Pre-depositors also received day-1 invite-only mainnet access and a starting weekly allotment of access codes sized to their pre-deposit amount.

How does the BULK referral program work now?

Referral links from pre-deposit carry over into mainnet. During the invite-only period, a new referral also needs an access code, which auto-attaches to your link. Pre-depositors got 5-15 starting codes per week based on deposit tier ($1,000+ or $100,000+); new traders earn 1 code per $1M in trading volume. Codes reset every week — unused codes don't roll over.

Who received the retroactive AURA allocation?

500,000 AURA was retroactively allocated June 1, 2026 based on a May 31 snapshot. Eligible wallets: BulkSOL native stakers, BulkSOL holders on Exponent/Loopscale/P0, Alphanet and testnet competition participants, and OG/Contributor Discord role holders. This was a one-time event, now closed.

What happens to my AURA now that BULK mainnet has launched?

AURA is the scoring mechanism for the 30% community token allocation confirmed by BULK. The exact conversion rate from AURA to BULK tokens at TGE has not been published. AURA continues to accumulate — the majority is now earned through mainnet trading activity rather than pre-deposits.

Community Allocation

The Precedent Everyone's Comparing To

"Hyperliquid distributed 31% of HYPE supply to active users. At peak, that allocation was worth billions. BULK has confirmed the same 30% community allocation structure — and mainnet is now live. Trading volume, not just deposits, is what earns AURA and access codes from here."

How to Get Access and Keep Earning AURA

Mainnet is invite-only. Every action below gets you in, or earns you more access codes and AURA.

Get invite-only access at app.bulk.trade

Use a referral link or an access code to join. Pre-depositors already have day-1 access; their USDC converted automatically to trading margin during the Sept 5 upgrade.

Trade to earn more access codes

Every $1M in trading volume unlocks 1 more access code each week, on top of your pre-deposit allotment. Codes reset weekly — unused codes do not carry over, so spend them.

Share your referral link and codes

Your referral link carries over from pre-deposit. An access code auto-attaches a new referral to that link. No cap on referrals — the constraint now is codes, not deposit size.

Hold BulkSOL

BulkSOL holders earn base staking yield, MEV tips, and 12.5% of all BULK trading fees now that mainnet is live, plus continued AURA. Swap SOL → BulkSOL on Titan Exchange. It's the highest-conviction multi-yield position.

Deposit BulkSOL on Exponent Finance

Stack another layer: BulkSOL on Exponent earns Exponent points and BULK AURA simultaneously. One position, two protocol rewards.

Mainnet AURA

Who Earns AURA Now

Mainnet is live — AURA is earned through trading activity, referrals, and BulkSOL, not deposits.

Active Traders

Mainnet trading volume is now the primary AURA driver, and it also unlocks additional weekly access codes — 1 per $1M traded.

Referrers

Earn AURA from a dedicated referral pool when your referral link brings in active traders. During invite-only mainnet, new referrals also consume one of your weekly access codes.

BulkSOL Holders & Stakers

BulkSOL holders continue to receive AURA on mainnet — on top of staking yield and fee share. Holding BulkSOL gives you exposure regardless of trading activity.

Pre-Depositors — Converted

Every pre-deposit converted to margin on Sept 5. Depositors also received day-1 mainnet access and a starting weekly access-code allotment based on their pre-deposit tier.

Questions

Mainnet Access FAQ

How do I get mainnet access if I never pre-deposited?

You need a referral link and an access code from someone who has one. New users start with zero codes and earn one per $1M in trading volume — so the fastest path in is asking an existing trader for an invite.

Can I withdraw my converted margin?

Yes. Margin converted from a pre-deposit is withdrawable at any time from your trading account, same as before.

What does AURA convert to?

30% of total BULK token supply is confirmed for community distribution via AURA. The specific AURA-to-BULK conversion rate at TGE has not been published. More AURA = larger share of the community allocation pool.

Do I still earn AURA if I only hold BulkSOL and don't trade?

Yes. BulkSOL holders continue to earn AURA on mainnet without needing to trade — on top of base staking yield, MEV tips, and 12.5% of BULK trading fees.

What if I missed the retroactive drop or Season 1 entirely?

The retroactive 500K AURA and the weekly Season 1 pre-deposit allocations were time-limited and are now closed. Mainnet trading activity is the ongoing way to earn AURA going forward.
