AMM Connectors

What are AMM Connectors?

Automated Market Maker (AMM) connectors integrate into a decentralized exchange's Javascript SDK or smart contracts, enabling standardized transaction placement and blockchain data fetching from the perspective of Hummingbot strategies.

All AMM connectors reside in Gateway, API middleware that helps Hummingbot clients interact with decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on various blockchain networks.

Each connector is a folder in src/connectors.

AMM Connector Maintenance

AMM connectors require ongoing maintenance: fixing bugs, addressing user issues, and keeping up with updates to both the exchange/blockchain API as well as improvements to the Hummingbot connector standard.

Hummingbot Foundation maintains certain reference connectors as the standard and utilizes a community-based maintenance process. We assign Bounties to community developers to upgrade and fix bugs for each exchange's connectors in the codebase.

AMM Connector Governance

Each quarter, Connector Poll allocates HBOT bounties toward the top AMM connectors and determines which AMM connectors should be included in the codebase going forward.

AMM connectors may be added by community members via New Connector Proposals, which require a minimum HBOT balance to create.

See the Connectors tab in HBOT Tracker for the current allocations for each exchange.

Polls also decide which connectors should be included in the codebase for the next quarterly Epoch.
