🚀 Shipped Hummingbot v2.3!
Hey Hummingbot community! We've just released v2.3.0 and it's packed with some major updates that transform how you can trade across DEXs and CEXs. Let's dive into what's new!
For full details, check out the Hummingbot v2.3.0 release notes.
🇺🇸 Make Gateway Great Again
This release introduces a major overhaul of Gateway, our DEX connector middleware. With the explosive growth in Solana volumes, we knew it was time for a serious upgrade to support the rapidly changing blockchain landscape. Over the next few releases, we will be rebuilding Gateway from the ground up with three main focuses:
Streamlined chain integrations for Solana and Ethereum-based chain architectures
Support Concentrated Liquidity Market Making (CLMM) strategies on Meteora, Raydium, and other Solana DEXs, along with Jupiter integration for swap pricing and execution.
A modern tech stack upgrade that makes Gateway easier to use, faster, and more reliable
The coolest part? The Jupiter and Meteora connectors are already ready for testing, with Raydium coming soon! Check out our recent livestream demo:
🎮 Two Powerful New V2 Strategies
For all you strategy wizards out there, we've got two exciting new strategies that use the new StrategyV2 framework:
XEMM (Cross-Exchange Market Making) V2
Remember our classic cross-exchange market making strategy? It's back and better than ever:
Ideal for providing liquidity to a smaller exchange based on liquidity from a larger one
Multiple order levels for more sophisticated market making
Full Dashboard integration for better monitoring
Ability to run multiple instances simultaneously
GridStrike V2
This brand new strategy combines the best of grid trading, market making, and directional trading:
Flexible grid configurations
Smart inventory-based risk management features
Well-suited for index-based strategies in volatile markets
Like all V2 strategies, both XEMM V2 and GridStrike V2 are fully integrated with Hummingbot Dashboard, allowing you to deploy multiple bots and track performance metrics in real-time.
🏦 Expanding Exchange Universe with Bitmart and BingX
We're thrilled to welcome two new exchange connectors to Hummingbot in this release: Bitmart Perpetual and BingX Spot.
We've excited to introduce Bitmart as our newest Foundation exchange partner, and we are working with their team to improve Hummingbot support for their connectors. This release introduces a new Bitmart perpetual connector that provides complete perpetual futures trading support, and we are in the midst of improving their spot connector.
The BingX connector represents a valuable community contribution from Robotter Labs, brings full spot trading capabilities and is especially well-suited for traders focused on Asian markets.
Plus, we've made improvements to existing connectors like Tegro, Hyperliquid, Bybit, and Dexalot. Check the release notes for all the technical details!

👿 Stay Safe Out There!
We've seen an increase in scammer activity lately, particularly around fake HBOT token sales. Remember:
We never DM users. Check the Discord handle carefully when you interact with Foundation team members.
We never sell or airdrop HBOT tokens. The only way to get HBOT is to earn them by completing bounties.
Please report any suspicious activity in our #scam-reports Discord channel
Happy trading! 🤖
