🚀 Hummingbot v2.7.0 is Here!
GM to all the 🤖 Hummingbot users around the 🌎 globe!
We're excited to announce the release of Hummingbot v2.7.0, featuring major architectural improvements and new capabilities:
🔌 Hummingbot API (formerly backend-api)
The biggest update in v2.7.0 is the complete revamp of our API infrastructure. The backend-api has been renamed to hummingbot-api with significant improvements:
⚙️ Production-Ready Architecture: Standardized API for managing bots, executing trades, and monitoring multi-exchange portfolios
🔄 Expanded Trading Capabilities: Direct trading, portfolio rebalancing, and account management—all via API
🤖 AI-Ready Design: Built for agentic trading workflows and seamless integration with LLMs like Claude
📊 Comprehensive Bot Orchestration: Deploy and manage multiple trading instances through a unified interface
🧰 Modern Python Client: Asynchronous API client available on PyPI for easy integration
The new architecture uses FastAPI server, PostgreSQL database, and EMQX message broker to provide a robust foundation for building custom trading applications, dashboards, and AI-powered trading workflows.
🧠 Headless Mode
Run Hummingbot without the graphical interface, reducing memory usage by up to 40%. Perfect for VPS deployments and resource-constrained environments:
./bin/hummingbot_quickstart --headless -p PASSWORD -f STRATEGY_CONFIG_FILE
🔧 Enhanced Stability
XRPL Connector Fixes: Resolved memory leak issues in WebSocket connections
Memory Optimization: Improved cleanup of asynchronous tasks across the codebase
Gateway Improvements: Better error handling and gas management for Uniswap and Jupiter connectors
💦 XRPLiquid Crosses $4M During Beta
XRPLiquid, a third-party rewards program operated by Botcamp Inc., has crossed $4M in total volume with 1,250 XRP distributed to market makers across 6 active trading pairs.
