BULK Exchange uses a fully deterministic central limit order book (CLOB). Every validator produces identical output from the same input without communication during execution. Pre-flight checks, five priority queues, and atomic state updates run on all validators simultaneously.
BULK Exchange is built on four layers: BULK Net transport, BULKBFT leaderless consensus, a deterministic matching and risk engine, and Solana settlement. This is the complete technical breakdown of how each layer works and why the design choices matter.
Running a BULK Exchange validator requires operating an existing Solana validator and running the bulk-agave binary alongside it. Validators inherit Solana stake, participate in BULKBFT consensus, and earn 12.5% of all BULK Exchange trading fees. This is an overview of the setup process.
