🙋♂️ Note from our CEO: Bridging CEX and DEX
Dear bot-runners,
As you can see from the new Balancer, Binance.US, Binance Futures, and OKEx connectors contained in the v0.33 release, Hummingbot is rapidly expanding beyond spot exchanges to derivatives exchanges, as well as decentralized exchanges on various blockchain protocols.
The “Summer of DeFi” has resulted in a Cambrian explosion of decentralized exchange protocols like Uniswap, Curve.Fi, and Balancer. In a few short months, DEX trading has risen exponentially and shows no sign of slowing down.
From the beginning, Hummingbot’s goal has been to bridge the centralized and the decentralized worlds. This release contains the Balancer connector, which uses the new Hummingbot Gateway repo, as well as the new amm-arb strategy that allows you to arbitrage price differences between Balancer and order book exchanges.
The Balancer connector should provide a template upon which both we and the Hummingbot community can add other protocol connectors. We’re working on a couple of larger protocol connectors, but there are many protocols out there that need connectivity and liquidity!
What will you build with Hummingbot?
best,
Michael Feng (@fengtality)
🔥We just shipped Hummingbot v0.33.0!
Today we released Hummingbot v0.33.0, which contains the following exciting new features:
NEW Balancer AMM arbitrage strategy
NEW Binance Futures connector (Beta) that allows you to trade USDT-M perpetual futures
NEW OKEx connector
In addition, we also made some enhancements to the user interface and fixed a number of bugs.
🆕 Introducing the new Balancer connector and amm_arb strategy!
We are excited to announce that this release includes the brand new amm_arb strategy that allows you to arbitrage between AMM protocols like Balancer and any order book exchange supported by Hummingbot.
We partnered with the Balancer team to build the new Balancer connector and amm_arb strategy because we think Balancer’s unique pool design is a perfect fit for the individual traders and small firms that dominate the Hummingbot community. Arbitrage opportunities abound, but they may be too small for larger firms to chase.

🆕 HARD liquidity mining campaign brings the BIGGEST ever reward pool to you!
