Instead of canceling existing orders and placing new ones, you send your desired order state and the system overwrites the previous orders in a single transaction. ## Why Bulk Orders? On other decentralized exchanges, updating quotes requires canceling orders, waiting for confirmation, then placing replacements. This is slow, expensive, and leaves you exposed during the cancel-replace cycle. With Decibel bulk orders, you send your new desired state and previous orders are atomically replaced. One transaction. No cancel step. No exposure window. ## How It Works Bulk orders are stateful updates for a specific market. Each bulk order call overwrites your previous bulk orders in that market. See [Place Bulk Order](/developer-hub/on-chain/order-management/place-bulk-order) for transaction details. ## Limits | Parameter | Limit | | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------- | | Max orders per side per bulk call | 30 | | Active bulk orders per market per account | 1 | | Order types supported | Limit orders only | ## Mixing Bulk and Regular Orders Bulk orders and regular orders are tracked separately. A bulk order update only affects bulk orders, not your regular orders placed via `placeOrder`. ## Canceling All Bulk Orders To remove all bulk orders in a market, submit an empty array. See [Cancel Bulk Order](/developer-hub/on-chain/order-management/cancel-bulk-order) for details. ## Related On-chain reference for bulk orders On-chain reference for canceling bulk orders
