Bullet was started by a tightly-knit team with backgrounds in high frequency trading (HFT), top Silicon valley tech companies and prominent crypto exchanges.
They are backed by some of the leading investors in the crypto space such as Electric Capital, Jump Capital, Race Capital, Wintermute and many more.
The team previously built Zeta Markets, a leading perps DEX which facilitated over $15B in trading volume in 2025.
They are looking to redefine the trading experience on Solana with Bullet, which boasts 3ms trade execution latency, thousands of TPS and a full featured perps and spot DEX.
