Welcome to BULK Trade

BULK is a next-generation liquidity layer designed for protocols, offering highly capital-efficient liquidity while functioning as a decentralised market maker.

With its Non-Custodial Vault architecture, BULK addresses liquidity fragmentation and inefficiencies in liquidity management, making market making the core foundation—unlocking new possibilities for innovative markets.

The Problem

As first-hand experts in market making, we’ve observed that on-chain order book DEXs on Solana are plagued by three major issues:

  • Inefficient & margined fills – Orders are not executed optimally, leading to wasted capital.

  • Large spreads – Poor liquidity depth results in wide bid-ask spreads, making trading costly.

  • Low liquidity & slow taker orders – Insufficient liquidity causes delays in order execution.

BULK is here to change that.

We aim to create a high-definition liquidity layer that seamlessly powers any market or instrument. Keep reading to discover how we achieve this.

The Motivation

The gap between DeFi and TradFi is enormous—one of the biggest challenges is the lack of deep, reliable liquidity.

Today’s DeFi landscape is highly fragmented, with perpetual and spot exchanges competing for liquidity instead of optimizing and growing it. As a result:

  • DApps are forced to spend excessive time and capital sourcing liquidity instead of transforming consumer liquidity into scalable, efficient markets.

  • Market making remains a closed-door operation, often plagued by opaque practices and alleged market manipulation.

BULK is spearheading a movement towards a more open, transparent, and accessible approach to market making—while providing institutional-grade yields via non-custodial vaults.

Introducing BULK Trade

BULK Trade delivers highly capital-efficient, permissionless liquidity exactly when and where it’s needed. Unlike AMMs, where liquidity suffers from inefficiencies and impermanent loss, BULK’s actively managed core layer ensures sustainable and optimized liquidity deployment. Our Core Principles:

  1. Democratize Liquidity Provisioning

    • Enable as many liquidity providers as possible by significantly lowering entry barriers. Anyone can deposit assets into Network-Owned Liquidity vaults, earning yield from market-making fees and incentives.

  2. Maximize Capital Efficiency

    • Utilize advanced margining mechanisms to stretch liquidity further and reduce inefficiencies.

  3. Build Deep, Network-Owned Liquidity

    • Establish a permissionless liquidity book that can be accessed by any protocol.

  4. Foster a Shared Liquidity Ecosystem

    • Allow trading applications to pool and grow liquidity together rather than competing for it.
