Changes to Hummingbot Maintenance and Governance
)
Almost exactly one year ago, Hummingbot Foundation launched the HBOT token as an experiment in decentralized governance over a publicly shared, community maintained open source project.
Inspired by Linux, we believe that a bazaar-style, distributed model of software development, powered by a decentralized, community-owned governance token, would allow us to maintain and grow a large, complex, open source codebase like Hummingbot.
Highlights
Here are some of our proudest achievements over the past 12 months:
- Executed 220+ governance proposals on our Snapshot governance portal, an average of 4.7 votes per proposal and a 92% acceptance rate. We believe this spread fairly represents what Hummingbot is today: an organic, global community of quant traders and developers who use different aspects of a shared, modular codebase.
- Awarded more than 40 developer bounties to 20+ unique community developers for fixing bugs, adding new CEX/DEX connectors, strategies and other enhancements to the codebase (see HBOT Distributions in HBOT Tracker)
- Held 23 weekly developer and community calls, with agendas and recording links posted in the pm repository
- Launched the public Hummingbot Reported Volumes dashboard to report real-time aggregated volume metrics from Hummingbot users. Over the past 3 months, Hummingbot users have generated $6 billion in trade volume.
