Hummingbot

Open-source Python framework for market-making bots and other strategies on centralized and decentralized exchanges.

hummingbot/hummingbot★ 20,675 stars last commit 2026-10-20
Our take

The leading open-source framework for market making on both centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Who it is for

Technical users interested in market making and in running strategies across several exchanges at once.

Strengths

  • Open source under the Apache 2.0 license, maintained by the Hummingbot Foundation.
  • Connects to centralized and decentralized exchanges (the website advertises more than 300 connectors).
  • Published example strategies: market making, TradingView webhooks and Solana DEX rebalancing.

Good to know

  • Built mainly for market making, a strategy with inventory risk: if price moves one way you accumulate the falling asset.
  • Steep learning curve for non-programmers.
