Every CLOB/on-chain exchange is engineered such that latency is low in order to make taker/maker orders faster.

It gets more interesting that new DeFi primitives such as Prop AMMs are introduced to speed up the time between maker/taker orders.

@bulktrade takes a different approach.

> While keeping latency at first, every order is not carried out in a parallelized manner rather in a priority of time, orders are batched and sent to a network of validators.

> These orders are broken down into 8 shards and broadcasted this network of validators while these validators relay these shards to 8 other validators based on stake weight.

Due to its design, these validators do not need to receive all shards to order the transaction; a few number from the number of shards is enough.

This visual explainer below should help the “non-nerdys” understand the flow of order done by the BULK NET component.
