BULK Airdrop Checklist: Every Action, Ranked by Expected Value
Every action worth taking before the BULK mainnet launch, ranked by expected impact. Seven confirmed actions, five ecosystem moves, and the exact order to do them in.
The window to earn BULK token allocation closes around June 1, 2026. This is the action list — no backstory, no padding, no speculation presented as fact. Each item includes what’s confirmed, what’s inferred, and how much it costs.
Work through this top to bottom. Every item you skip is allocation left on the table.
The Checklist
Tier 1 — Free, Takes Under 10 Minutes, Very High Conviction
☐ 1. Connect your wallet to early.bulk.trade
Go to early.bulk.trade. Connect Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare.
This registers your wallet as a master account on BULK Network. All future activity flows through this wallet.
Cost: $0 | Time: 2 minutes | Conviction: Confirmed required for all other actions
☐ 2. Connect your X (Twitter) account
After connecting your wallet, connect your Twitter/X account when prompted.
BULK’s testnet explicitly requests this. Connected accounts are tracked. Do not skip this.
Cost: $0 | Time: 1 minute | Conviction: Very High — explicitly designed into the platform
☐ 3. Claim the faucet immediately
In your account dashboard, claim 1,000 paper USDC.
The 72-hour clock starts on your first claim. Claim now to maximize the number of cycles before mainnet. You can claim again every 72 hours.
Cost: $0 | Time: 1 minute | Conviction: Very High
☐ 4. Create sub-accounts (up to 9)
From account settings: Create Sub-Account → name it → optionally fund it.
Each sub-account is an independent leaderboard entry. You can run 10 different trading strategies simultaneously. The competition rule: only your single highest-ranked account per wallet counts.
Maximum 9 sub-accounts under 1 master = 10 total leaderboard slots.
Cost: $0 | Time: 5 minutes | Conviction: High — sub-account meta is real and documented
☐ 5. Join the BULK Discord
Go to discord.gg/bulk. Get available roles.
BULK has explicitly mentioned Discord contributors as likely airdrop recipients. Engagement matters.
Cost: $0 | Time: 5 minutes | Conviction: Medium-High
Tier 2 — Free, Takes 30+ Minutes, Ongoing Activity
☐ 6. Trade on the testnet (close your positions)
Available markets: BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, SUI, BNB, XRP, FARTCOIN, GOLD, ZEC perpetuals. Up to 100x leverage.
Critical rule: only closed positions count. Open positions with unrealized PnL contribute nothing to your leaderboard ranking. Close every trade.
Leaderboard formula: Cashflow ROI = Realized PnL / Capital Deposited.
Tips for maximizing your score:
- Close trades frequently — unrealized PnL is invisible to the ranking system
- Minimize your capital denominator — deposit minimally, trade efficiently
- Use all 10 sub-accounts for different strategies in parallel
- Set conditional orders (TP/SL) so positions close automatically
Cost: $0 | Time: 30+ minutes ongoing | Conviction: High — competition existed with real prizes
☐ 7. Claim the faucet every 72 hours
Don’t let the clock run out. Set a reminder. 1,000 paper USDC every 72 hours until mainnet.
Cost: $0 | Time: 1 minute, recurring
Tier 3 — Requires Capital, High Conviction
☐ 8. Swap SOL → BulkSOL on Titan
Go to Titan Exchange via early.bulk.trade. Swap SOL for BulkSOL. Current price: ~$87.45.
BulkSOL holding is almost certainly the highest-weight Aura points signal. It demonstrates on-chain commitment to the protocol, not just free testnet farming.
Duration matters — BulkSOL held for 6 months signals more than BulkSOL bought the day before snapshot.
Cost: SOL (your choice of size) | Time: 5 minutes | Conviction: Very High
☐ 9. Hold BulkSOL through mainnet
Do not sell your BulkSOL before TGE.
BulkSOL earns four yield streams even while you hold: base staking, MEV tips, 12.5% of BULK exchange trading fees (post-mainnet), and Aura points. The holding period signal likely matters for the snapshot.
Cost: Opportunity cost | Time: None | Conviction: Very High
Tier 4 — Ecosystem Amplifiers, Capital Required
☐ 10. Deposit BulkSOL on Exponent Finance
Depositing BulkSOL on Exponent earns Exponent points alongside BULK Aura points. Two protocol rewards from one position.
Cost: Gas (~$0.01) | Time: 10 minutes | Conviction: Medium-High
☐ 11. Execute the Loopscale loop (advanced)
For yield maximizers: borrow SOL on Loopscale against BulkSOL collateral → swap borrowed SOL → more BulkSOL → deposit on Exponent → repeat.
This amplifies all four BulkSOL yield streams and likely amplifies Aura points signals. It also introduces liquidation risk.
Read the full loop strategy guide before attempting this.
Cost: SOL + borrow rate risk | Time: 30 minutes + active monitoring | Conviction: Medium
☐ 12. Set a mainnet alert
When mainnet goes live (~June 1), real trading begins. The Genesis Phase gives zero maker fees for the first 30 days — the highest-leverage trading window.
Set up a notification system: Twitter notification for @bulktrade, Discord ping, or use our email capture below.
Cost: $0 | Time: 2 minutes
What to Do If You’re Starting Late
If you’re reading this close to mainnet and haven’t done anything yet, prioritize in this order:
- Connect wallet + Twitter (2 minutes, free)
- Claim faucet (1 minute, free)
- Create sub-accounts (5 minutes, free)
- Buy any amount of BulkSOL (even $50–$100 registers the on-chain signal)
- Trade on testnet for 30 minutes (zero cost)
Five actions, under an hour, approximately $50–$100 in capital if you want BulkSOL exposure. The testnet alone costs nothing.
What Doesn’t Work
Sybil farming: Multiple wallets. BULK inherits Solana stake data, meaning the protocol has access to on-chain identity signals. Sybil farming almost certainly gets filtered. A single wallet with genuine activity beats ten wallets with minimal activity.
Waiting for the formula: The Aura points formula will be published around mainnet. By then, the pre-documentation advantage is gone. Everyone farms the same points at the same rate once the rules are public.
Ignoring BulkSOL: Testnet activity is free. BulkSOL holding requires capital. The capital-committed signal likely weighs more heavily in a system designed to attract long-term aligned users.
Risk Disclosure
Aura points mechanics are not yet publicly documented. This checklist is based on ecosystem design inference and BULK’s public communications. Completing these actions does not guarantee any specific BULK token allocation. BulkSOL involves smart contract risk, LST de-peg risk, and pre-mainnet protocol risk. The loop strategy adds liquidation risk.
Not financial advice. Do not use capital you cannot afford to lose.
