Release Highlights

New Solana and Jupiter DEX Connectors

In this release, Hummingbot #7334 & Gateway #374 introduces new connectors for the Solana blockchain and the Jupiter DEX aggregator to the Gateway middleware, along with a Solana class in the Hummingbot client to interface with them.

Users can now use the Arbitrage Controller (see below) or the AMM arbitrage V1 strategy to run arbitrage strategies between Jupiter and other Hummingbot-supported exchanges. See the Jupiter documentation for more information.

New Hyperliquid Spot Connector

This release adds support for Hyperliquid spot markets in Hummingbot #7282, funded by the Hyperliquid Connector Pot voted by the HBOT token holders in quarterly polls. See the Hyperliquid documentation for more information.

New Arbitrage Controller

The new Arbitrage controller is a revamped V2 version of our legacy arbitrage strategies. It enables high-performance arbitrage trading between any two spot exchanges (AMM or CLOB), using the new ArbitrageExecutor component to manage order execution.

The strategy includes several key features:

  • Configurable price feeds from both exchange rates and external oracles
  • Automatic spread detection and order placement
  • Support for both spot and perpetual markets
  • Comprehensive risk management capabilities including minimum spread requirements, maximum position sizes, and cooldown periods between trades
  • The enhanced rate oracle system allows flexible sourcing of price data from multiple feeds to ensure reliable arbitrage opportunities

New GridStrike Controller

Similarly, rhe new GridStrike Strategy V2 controller introduces a classic grid strategy to the V2 framework that allows users to create and maintain a grid of orders within specified price ranges, and uses the new GridExecutor component to manage them.

The strategy includes several key features:

  • Automatic grid range adjustment based on real-time market data
  • Visual configuration tools for viewing and modifying grid ranges on charts
  • Support for up to 5 independent grid ranges with customizable settings
  • Comprehensive risk management capabilities including price bounds, time limits, and minimum spread requirements
