Why Hummingbot?

  • Both CEX and DEX connectors: Hummingbot supports connectors to centralized exchanges like Binance and KuCoin, as well as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and PancakeSwap on various blockchains (Ethereum, BNB Chain, etc).
  • Community-contributed strategies: The Hummingbot community has added many customizable templates for market making, arbitrage, and other algo trading strategies.
  • Secure local client: Hummingbot is a local client software that you install and run on your own devices or cloud virtual machines. It encrypts your API keys and private keys and never exposes them to any third parties.
  • Community modules and events: Hummingbot is driven by a global community of quant traders and developers. Check out community-maintained modules like Orchestration, join our bi-weekly developer calls, and learn how to build custom strategies using Hummingbot by taking Botcamp!

Help us democratize high-frequency trading and make powerful trading algorithms accessible to everyone in the world!

Exchange Connectors

Hummingbot connectors standardize trading logic and order types across different exchange types. Currently, we support the following exchange types:

  • SPOT: Connectors to central limit order book (CLOB) exchanges that trade spot markets
  • PERP: Connectors to central limit order book (CLOB) exchanges that trade perpetual swap markets
  • AMM: Connectors to decentralized exchanges that use the Automatic Market Maker (AMM) methodology

Exchanges may be centralized (CEX), or decentralized (DEX), in which case user assets are stored on the blockchain and trading is performed via wallet addresses.

Quarterly Polls allow the Hummingbot community to vote using HBOT tokens to decide which exchanges should be certified GOLD or SILVER, which means that they are maintained and continually improved by Hummingbot Foundation. In addition, the codebase includes BRONZE exchange connectors that are maintained by community members. See the Hummingbot documentation for all exchanges supported.

Strategies and Scripts

We provide customizable strategy templates for core trading strategies that users can configure, extend, and run. Hummingbot Foundation maintains three CORE strategies:

CORE strategies are selected via HBOT voting through quarterly Polls. In addition, the codebase includes COMMUNITY strategies that are maintained by individuals or firms in the community. See the Hummingbot documentation for all strategies supported.

Scripts

Scripts are a newer, lighter way to build Hummingbot strategies in Python, which let you modify the script's code and re-run it to apply the changes without exiting the Hummingbot interface or re-compiling the code.

See the Scripts section in the documentation for more info, or check out the /scripts folder for all Script examples included in the codebase.
