BULK Exchange and Phoenix Trade are both central limit order books on Solana — but Phoenix is constrained by Solana block times at ~400ms while BULK runs a dedicated L0 execution layer at 5–20ms. Fees, margin, and composability tell the rest of the story.

Zeta Markets is transitioning to Bullet — a ZK rollup L2 via Celestia and Succinct. BULK Exchange runs a settled L0 execution layer on Solana today. Two different scaling philosophies, same target: the fastest on-chain perp DEX in the Solana ecosystem.

Solana perpetual futures let you go long or short with leverage on a fast, low-fee on-chain exchange. This is the no-jargon starter path: learn the mechanics, practice risk-free on testnet, then trade.
