Mainnet's three weeks old, the point mechanism is still only partially switched on, and this is a dated refresh of last week's guide, not a new post. Trading volume, BulkSOL holding, and referrals are still the three ways AURA gets earned. Nothing about the mechanism changed. What changed is the setup cost of getting in, and that's dropping fast while genesis-phase 0bps maker fees are still live.
What's still live
Genesis phase, 0bps maker fees, hasn't ended. That's the real reason to move now — free volume is free volume, and it ends without warning. The team has talked about fee-share and vault mechanics at the AMA, but those aren't live yet. Don't farm around features that don't exist.
The liquidation cascade two weeks back, where BTC briefly printed off spot, scared off a chunk of the casual crowd. That's not a reason to sit out — thin liquidity plus a new mark-price formula plus real capital finding the edges is what a pre-polish system looks like, and it's when AURA-per-dollar-of-volume is highest, because the pool is split fewer ways.
Getting in
You need a Solana wallet (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare), a referral link, and a one-time access code that resets weekly and does not roll over. $20 minimum deposit to start trading. No code by Saturday, it's dead — new batch drops with the reset.

What actually earns AURA on bulk.trade
Trading volume is the primary lever, formula still unpublished. BulkSOL holding is the one passive stream — size times duration, stacks independently of trading, plus staking yield and fee share. Referrals pay from a dedicated pool as your referred accounts trade, not on signup. A code burned on someone who never trades is worth nothing — spend codes on people who'll actually use them.
Not confirmed: the trading-volume-to-AURA formula, the BulkSOL-vs-trading split, the AURA-to-token rate, whether invite-only lifts on any set timeline, whether multi-wallet farming survives anti-sybil review. Confirmed: 30% community allocation. The rest is pattern-matching to Hyperliquid — a reasonable bet, not a fact.
Should you farm Bulk Exchange?
If you've got $20-ish you're fine losing and you'll be trading anyway, the fee-free window plus uncapped-upside shape makes this a good time to be in regardless of whether BULK ever prints a token. If you're depositing capital specifically to farm and wouldn't otherwise trade perps, that's leveraged-product risk dressed as a farming strategy — size it like the former.
Independent take on is BULK Exchange legit, including the audit and a BULK-vs-Drift comparison.
