Fourteen AI trading agents, $800 of real capital each, 48 hours of live racing. The first Agent Builders Cup, a strategy hackathon run by Botcamp and built on Condor and Hummingbot, wrapped up on October 9, 2026. Here is how it worked, who won, and what the results taught us.
If you use Condor to trade from Telegram or the web dashboard, it talks to Hummingbot API on your computer or a cloud server. That API can place orders, read balances, and manage bots—so you should treat it like the front door to your trading stack.
This guide explains why exposing the API is risky, simple steps you can take today, and how to use Tailscale so only your own devices can reach the API—without opening port 8000 to the public internet.
Welcome to the GRVT connector guide for Hummingbot. GRVT is a hybrid derivatives exchange offering self-custodial perpetual futures with central limit order book (CLOB) matching. The grvt_perpetual connector lets you run automated strategies—market making, directional frameworks, and custom V2 controllers—against GRVT’s perpetual markets while managing orders through Hummingbot’s standard derivative connector interface.
We're excited to introduce Condor, an open source harness that connects LLMs to the Hummingbot trading infrastructure. Condor lets you use natural language to execute trades, run trading bots, and deploy autonomous trading agents across 50+ exchanges and blockchains.

The vesting period for all HBOT token holders has now ended, including all CoinAlpha investors, Foundation team members, and CoinAlpha team members. Fully vested, HBOT's circulating supply stands at 666,576,768 HBOT, with the Foundation holding the remaining 333.4M HBOT tokens in treasury. If you need to claim your tokens from the vesting contract, see How to use your HBOT TokenVesting contract.
From the start, the Hummingbot Foundation's goal has been to create a sustainable open source project that earns revenues from exchanges and pays community maintainers to build and maintain connectors to their platforms, as outlined in the original Hummingbot Foundation whitepaper.
The Foundation's primary role is to coordinate the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the open source Hummingbot codebase via a decentralized set of actors: Exchanges, Contributors, and Users.
Grid Strike (grid_strike) is a Controller in Hummingbot's StrategyV2 framework that automatically places a grid of buy or sell orders within a set price range.
Unlike basic grid strategies, Grid Strike utilizes Executors which dynamically manage each order level with configurable take profit and stop loss settings. This means every position opened by the strategy is automatically monitored and closed according to your risk parameters. It can be configured to move with the market trend —- either up or down -- letting you adapt the strategy to changing market conditions.
This guide explains how the Grid Strike strategy works and helps you decide when to use it. You'll learn how to configure and run the strategyt, as well as the key concepts and how to set it up for trending markets.

Welcome to the Dashboard Tutorial: PMM Simple V2 Strategy — a step-by-step guide designed to help you understand, configure, backtest, and deploy the PMM Simple V2 strategy using the Hummingbot Dashboard.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up the strategy’s parameters, test its performance through backtesting, fine-tune order spreads and risk controls, and finally save and deploy your configuration for live trading.
In Hummingbot’s new Strategy V2 framework, Controllers are tools that manage your trading strategies. They gather market data (such as price information and trading volumes) and use it to make trading decisions automatically.
Controllers allow you to handle multiple trading strategies or trading pairs without needing separate bots. This helps simplify management and saves resources.
