BULK and RISEx: My Multi-Wallet Browser Setup for the Perp DEX Points Season

in #crypto • 15 days ago

bulk-risex-multi-wallet-browser-setup-cover.jpg

This autumn I trade on two perp DEXs that sit on two different chains. BULK runs on Solana and opened its mainnet on 5 September 2026 behind invite codes. RISEx is the onchain order book on RISE, an Ethereum layer 2, and its Ignite Season 1 points program has been running since 20 July. Two chains means two wallet types, two extensions and two sets of signing prompts, and that's before the wallet I keep for savings.

This post is how I keep all of that apart in the browser. It isn't a farming guide. Running a dozen wallets to multiply points doesn't work on either venue, for reasons both of them publish, and I'll go through those first because they decide how many wallets you actually need.

Some background on each, since they work very differently under the hood.

BULK is built by North Star Labs and runs its matching engine inside a modified Solana validator rather than as a normal smart contract. Solana handles custody, deposits and withdrawals. The team raised an $8 million seed round co-led by 6th Man Ventures and Robot Ventures, with Wintermute and Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko among the participants. Its pre-deposit campaign opened on 1 June 2026 and pulled in about $25.9 million in ten days.

RISEx says it did about $3 billion of volume during early access before Season 1 started. The season runs until Q2 2027 at the latest. The team changes the weighting formula every week and doesn't publish it, and its own announcement says plainly that it isn't running a short-term farming program.

2. Why I run four wallets and not twenty

My wallets each have a job. None of them exists to be a second points account.

WalletJobEver connects to a DEX?
TreasurySavings. Signs with a hardware deviceNo
BULK tradingMargin for BULK onlyBULK only
RISEx tradingMargin for RISEx onlyRISEx only
SandboxNew apps, test transactions, anything I'm unsure aboutWhatever I'm testing, with small amounts

The split follows risk. If the sandbox wallet signs something bad, I lose what's in the sandbox. If a trading wallet gets liquidated in a bad move, the treasury doesn't notice. And since BULK needs a Solana wallet while RISEx needs an EVM one, the two trading wallets would be separate anyway.

Profits move from the trading wallets to the treasury once a week, signed on the hardware device. Margin moves the other way only when I've decided on a size.

3. What splitting does to your points on each venue

People still ask me whether ten wallets get ten times the points. On these two venues the answer is no, and both explain why in their own material.

RISEx. The weekly pool is fixed at 200,000 points and shared out by each user's share of qualifying activity. Splitting the same trading across five wallets gives you the same total share, split five ways. And the formula looks at quality as well as size: fees paid, slippage and negative markouts count against you, and wash-style flow scores lower than intentional trading. Self-trade prevention blocks an account from matching its own resting orders. On top of that, the eligibility rules let RISEx restrict participants and withhold, adjust or revoke rewards when its terms are broken.

BULK. AURA scaled with deposit size and time held before mainnet, and since launch trading volume drives it. Fee tiers go down as your volume goes up. Spread one strategy's volume over several wallets and every wallet sits in a worse tier, paying more per trade. None of the material I've read says BULK rewards running many accounts, and the team has talked about a security stack for its campaigns without spelling out what it checks.

So the extra wallets cost you fees and give you nothing back, with a real chance of losing rewards in a review. One trading wallet per venue, sized properly, does better.

One wallet per job. Never one wallet per points account.

4. One browser profile per wallet

Keeping four wallets apart in one Chrome profile doesn't work for long. Extensions see the sites you visit, a Solana wallet and an EVM wallet both pop up asking to connect, and it takes one tired click to approve something in the wrong wallet.

I use BitBrowser and give each wallet its own profile. Each profile has its own cookies, its own local storage, its own extensions and its own browsing history, so the RISEx profile has never heard of the BULK wallet and the sandbox can't see either of them.

ProfileWallet extensionSites bookmarkedNotes field

rise-tradeEVM wallet, RISEx trading wallet onlyrise.trade, the RISE explorerMax position size and margin limit
sandboxFresh Solana and EVM wallets with small balancesNothing permanent"Empty it monthly"

The notes field is where I keep my own limits. When I open rise-trade, the first thing on screen is the position size and margin limit I said I wouldn't go past. Those numbers were set on a calm Sunday, which is exactly why I trust them more than whatever I feel like doing in the middle of a fast market.

I also gave each profile a different browser theme color. It sounds childish, but it makes the wrong profile obvious before I click anything.

5. The network question

Antidetect browsers usually come up together with proxies, so here's where I've landed.

For this setup I don't use proxies at all. Every profile uses my normal home connection. The separation I care about is between extensions, cookies and signing prompts, and that's what the profiles give me. Making four wallets look like four people in four countries is a different project, and not one I'm interested in.

There's also a hard rule on one side. RISEx's eligibility requirements exclude several countries, including US citizens, and they ban using a VPN, proxy or similar tool to get around those restrictions. If you're in an excluded country, a proxy doesn't make you eligible. It makes your account something they can close.

6. Extensions and bookmarks

Most wallet losses I hear about start with a fake site or a fake extension, not with the chain itself. So in each profile:

  1. I install the wallet extension from the official store page, linked from the wallet's own website.
  2. Every profile gets only the wallet it needs. The rise-trade profile has no Solana wallet installed at all.
  3. One bookmark per venue, typed by hand once and checked letter by letter. I open the venue from that bookmark every time, never from a search result, a Discord link or a DM.
  4. No other extensions in trading profiles. No price trackers, no coupon tools, no "airdrop checkers".

The sandbox is the one profile where I click on new things, and it never holds more than I'd shrug off losing. When a new app looks interesting, it gets a week in the sandbox with a small balance before any trading wallet goes near it. Most of them never graduate.

7. My signing rules

These are written in the notes field of every profile, and I follow them even when it's slow:

  1. I sign everything myself. Deposits, withdrawals, orders, approvals. No bot, script or agent approves anything in these wallets.
  2. I read the prompt. If the wallet shows something I didn't expect, a different amount, a different program, an approval I didn't ask for, I reject it and start over.
  3. The treasury signs on hardware. Nothing leaves it without a physical button press.
  4. Approvals get cleaned monthly. On the EVM side I check token approvals for the RISEx and sandbox wallets and revoke what I no longer use. On Solana I check the wallet's connected apps and disconnect old ones.
  5. Seeds stay offline. Written down, stored at home, never typed into anything that isn't the wallet setup screen, never photographed, never pasted into a note.

8. Phones without keys

I do look at positions away from my desk. The rule there is simple: no phone holds a trading key.

What I keep on phones is watch-only. A portfolio tracker that follows the public addresses of my trading wallets, price alerts for the markets I trade, and the official announcement channels of both projects, so I see a parameter change or a maintenance window early.

I keep that on a cloud phone instead of my personal one. A BitCloudPhone Android device holds the tracker and the alert apps, managed from the same client as the browser profiles. A BitCloudPhone-iOS cloud iPhone is where I check how both venues' mobile web apps behave on Safari, since that's what I'd be using if I had to close a position while traveling. Neither phone has a seed on it. If a phone were lost or compromised, the worst case is that someone sees my positions.

9. My weekly routine

Monday. Open bulk-trade, then rise-trade, one at a time. Check open positions, margin and liquidation prices against the limits in each profile's notes. Close each profile before opening the next.

During the week. I trade from one profile at a time. If I'm trading RISEx, the BULK profile is closed. When I'm done, I check open orders, then close the profile.

Tuesday or Wednesday. BULK reveals AURA weekly, and RISEx distributes points weekly too. I look at both once, write the numbers in a sheet next to my fees for the week, and move on. Points are a side effect of trading I'd do anyway, not a target.

Friday. Profits above the margin I want to keep go to the treasury, signed on the hardware device.

First weekend of the month. Approval clean-up in every profile, sandbox emptied, extension versions checked.

Separate browser profiles for treasury, BULK and RISEx wallets, each with its own wallet extension

10. Mistakes I stopped making

Some of these I made myself before this setup existed.

  1. One browser, several wallet extensions. The Solana and EVM pop-ups compete for the same click. Separate profiles ended that.
  2. Opening the venue from a link. One bookmark per venue, nothing else.
  3. Trading from the treasury "just this once". The treasury profile has no venue bookmarked, which makes that harder to do on a bad day.
  4. Chasing points with extra volume. On RISEx, fees and markouts count against you. On BULK, extra volume costs fees in every tier. Trading more to earn points mostly earns the venue fees.
  5. Leaving old approvals live. A forgotten unlimited approval is how funds go missing months later.

11. Questions people ask me

Can I run several wallets on BULK or RISEx?
Nothing I've read in either project's material rewards it, splitting lowers your fee tier and your per-wallet share, and RISEx can withhold or revoke rewards when its terms are broken. I run one trading wallet per venue.

Do I need proxies for this setup?
Not for what I described. The profiles separate extensions, cookies and signatures. And on RISEx, a proxy used to get around restrictions breaks the eligibility rules.

Is BULK open to everyone?
It wasn't at launch: mainnet access went through one-time invite codes. Check the app for the current status before you plan around it.

Is there a token on either venue?
Not as of mid-October 2026. BULK's co-founder has said 30% of supply is meant for users. RISE hasn't announced one in its Season 1 material.

Why bother with a cloud phone at all?
To keep watch-only tools and project channels off my personal phone, and to test the mobile web apps on iOS. No keys go on it.

If you're starting from one browser with every wallet in it, make one change this week: move the treasury wallet into its own profile with no venue bookmarked. The rest can follow later.


Not financial advice. Points programs change every week, so check each venue's current rules before you trade. The BitBrowser link in this post has my referral code.
