Overview

Hummingbot is a free, open-source Python framework for algorithmic trading bots, maintained by the Hummingbot Foundation. Built at CoinAlpha in 2019, open-sourced in 2021. It connects to 50+ exchanges — CEXes like Binance/OKX and DEXes like Uniswap/Hyperliquid/dYdX. Most frameworks ignore DEXes; Hummingbot has production-grade connectors for them.

Key Features

Market Making

The primary use case. Deploy pure or cross-exchange market making strategies that place layered bid/ask orders to capture the spread. Configurable order levels, spreads, inventory skew, and volatility-based adjustments.

CEX + DEX Connectors

Connect to 50+ exchanges including CLOB CEXes (Binance, OKX, KuCoin), CLOB DEXes (Hyperliquid, dYdX, Injective), and AMM DEXes (Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Raydium, Jupiter). One of the only frameworks with production-grade AMM arbitrage support.

Python Strategy SDK

Write strategies in Python using Hummingbot’s controller framework. Access order books, candles, portfolio data, and exchange APIs through a unified interface — no exchange-specific API wrangling.

Backtesting & Dashboard

The Hummingbot Dashboard (separate open-source app) lets you backtest strategies, visualize performance, and manage multiple bot instances from a web UI.

TWAP / VWAP Execution

Built-in time-weighted and volume-weighted average price execution strategies for large order slicing without moving the market.
