No Special Treatment
There is no special program, no special rebates or fees, and no latency advantages for market makers on BULK. Anyone is welcome to make markets on the BULK Network. We believe in fundamental fairness between all participants and the house. Every order goes through the same consensus, the same deterministic shuffle, the same matching engine. No queue priority for VIPs and no private feeds.Signing at High Frequency
For high-frequency order submission, use a keychain (agent wallet) for signing transactions. Agent wallets are authorized sub-keys that can sign on behalf of your main account without exposing your primary private key. They support the full order lifecycle: place, modify, cancel. See Signing and Agent Wallets for setup.SDKs
SDKs for high-frequency market making are in active development. Check back for updates or join the Discord for early access.Rate Limits and Validator Mode
If you find the default API rate limits too restrictive for your strategy, consider running a BULK validator in follower mode. A follower node replicates the full network state locally, allowing you to read and write without participating in consensus. This gives you:- Direct local state reads with zero network latency
- Higher throughput for order submission
- Full order book and account state without API polling
Latency and Co-location
The majority of BULK Network nodes are currently based in Europe. For the best latency today, co-locate with the European cluster. When regional books go live, co-locate with the market flow:- Crypto - Asia
- Commodities - United States
