DEX Connectors

DEX connectors integrate into a decentralized exchange's WebSocket or REST API, or in the case of DEX connectors via Gateway, into their smart contracts or Javascript-based SDKs.

DEX connectors enable standardized order placement and data fetching endpoints from the perspective of Hummingbot strategies. Each connector is customized for a particular exchange's idiosyncrasies to enable this level of standardization, so they may should ideally have a maintainer, whose role is to ensure consistent performance by fixing bugs, incorporating API updates, and other ongoing work.

Connectors may be added by community members via New Connector Proposals. Each quarter, the CEX Connector Poll sorts CEX connectors into Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers, which determines whether they are maintained by the Foundation.

Here are the current DEX connectors in the codebase, as of Q3 2023:
