🤝 Announcing the Vega Protocol Sponsorship and Connector Guide
As an open source foundation dedicated to democratizing algo trading, Hummingbot Foundation seeks to align with like-minded organizations. We've known the Vega founding team since 2019 (an eternity in crypto!) and share their commitment to decentralized, permissionless trading.
Built on a Layer 1 blockchain designed for derivatives trading, Vega Protocol stands out with its permissionless market creation feature, which enables any participant to launch a new market (trading pair) through governance.
That's why we're excited to warmly introduce Vega as a new Hummingbot Foundation sponsor, which will support our efforts to maintain the Vega integration to Hummingbot and educate our respective communities on how to use it!
Also, check out the new Vega connector guide, in which we detail creating a Vega wallet, adding credentials to Hummingbot, and how to configure Vega-compatible scripts.
📺 Botcamp Info Sessions
Last month, we announced Botcamp as a separate for-profit company that provides education and training programs for market makers and algorithmic traders using the open source Hummingbot software framework.
Botcamp offers 5-week cohort-based bootcamps that teaches participants how to design, code, and deploy custom algo trading strategies using Hummingbot. We have two upcoming cohorts scheduled:
Cohort 7 - Certified Strategy V2 Developer (April 16 start)
Cohort 8 - Certified Market Maker (June start)
We recently held a March public info session that explains how these cohorts work - watch the recording above or join the April session and get all your questions answered!
👿 Don’t fall for scammers!
Finally, we have seen reports of scammers DM-ing users on Discord, Twitter and other channels advertising fake HBOT token sales, as well as bot spammers that impersonated the names & profile of Hummingbot Foundation team members.
If you see anyone trying to scam you or other Hummingbot users, please report it in the #scam-reports Discord channel.
Hummingbot Foundation has never conducted any pre-sale or sale of HBOT tokens, and anyone purporting to offer HBOT tokens is a scammer.
The only way to get HBOT tokens from the Foundation is to earn them via Bounties!
