bulk is now at 29k followers and testnet is officially out to those with an invitation. the thesis has not changed: bulk will be the most transformative innovation for perp dexes possibly ever. the speed of a cex, with the decentralization of solana. all open source. day 1. no more opaque risk engines, and not understanding what happened to your positions and why. it's really fast. like, actually, crazy fast. 20ms matching times and 40ms finality. for context, solana slot times are 400ms. so bulk is going to be around 10x faster. and you feel it. ive been trying out testnet for the past couple weeks/days and the difference is so large from anything ive ever tried before that i could quite literally never go back to anything else (after mainnet). you might say "yes but that's only testnet", but my friend, let me tell you, bulk testnet is pretty much the same thing as it's going to be when it goes live, since it is running on actual real mainnet validators. now with the solana foundation delegation program unwinding and validators needing more sources of revenue, there has quite literally never been a better time for bulk to be released. funny thing is, all this is just scratching the surface of what bulk is going to become and the reasons why it will truly shape the perp landscape. ps.: i actually got to meet a couple of the team members at breakpoint, and let me tell you, they are the most lovely individuals.
