Inside Bullet’s goal to compete with CEX perps
Bullet, a project on Solana, aims to establish itself as a key player in the perpetual derivatives market, a critical part of the crypto trading landscape where perps account for a significant percentage of CEX volumes. Notably, Solana's largest perp DEXs, Jupiter and Drift, only hold a small fraction of the market compared to CEX volumes. Bullet, previously known as Zeta Markets, has transitioned from order book DEX to developing a dedicated app-specific L2 rollup to enhance transaction speeds beyond Solana's limitations. This custom architecture can process transactions in 1.2ms with zk proofs for verifiability, positioning Bullet favorably in comparison to competitors. Additionally, Bullet's advanced sequencer offers cancel prioritization to address trader needs during volatility, a feature highlighted as a weakness in Zeta’s previous operations. By eliminating bridging in the future, Bullet seeks to capture a larger share of the perp market and respond to traders' demands for reliability in execution and transaction management.
