Exchange Connectors
An exchange connector integrates with the API of a crypto exchange to enable high-frequency, two-way communication between the Hummingbot client and the exchange.
Exchange types¶
Hummingbot exchange connectors try to standardize trading logic and order types across many different exchanges. Connectors are designed to handle specific exchange types:
spot: Connectors to central limit order book (CLOB) exchanges that trade spot marketsperp: Connectors to central limit order book (CLOB) exchanges that trade perpetual swap marketsamm: Connectors to automatic market maker (AMM) decentralized exchanges
Centralized vs decentralized exchanges
Hummingbot connects to both centralized and decentralized exchanges. Centralized exchanges require users to enter API keys, while decentralized exchanges require users to connect their wallets to the underlying blockchain protocols.
In the future, Hummingbot aims to extend support to other exchange and asset types. Developers interested in forking Hummingbot to support other types of exchanges can discuss with the community on the #dev channels in the Hummingbot Discord.
Status¶
Connectors may vary in quality. The CoinAlpha QA team keeps a rough indicator of each connector's working status:
- ⬤ Connector appears to be working properly.
- ⬤ Connector has one or more reported issues. Search for outstanding issues related to this exchange.
- ⬤ Connector does not seem to work.
Maintainer¶
Connector maintainers are responsible for fixing bugs and updating the connector when the exchange API or the Hummingbot connector spec changes.
Adding connectors¶
Developers may submit connectors for review by the CoinAlpha team. Please note the Contribution Guidelines.
Exchanges and other institutions can visit the official Hummingbot website, maintained by CoinAlpha, to discuss different ways to build and maintain connectors.
