Hummingbot 2.4 Adds Solana DEX and Derive Trading Connectors
Article Hummingbot docs
Summary
Hummingbot version 2.4 adds Gateway connectors for the Solana decentralized exchanges Meteora and Raydium, with standardized interfaces for automated market makers, concentrated liquidity market makers, and swaps. Gateway can also run as a standalone command-line tool. The release adds Derive connectors for spot and perpetual trading on a decentralized central limit order book protocol. These integrations expand the venues and market types available to trading systems built with Hummingbot.
The notes also describe an upcoming direction: Hummingbot scripts could use the new liquidity connectors to manage liquidity positions by opening, monitoring, and closing them against user-defined parameters. This is a preview, not a demonstrated performance result or a complete strategy specification. The release notes provide no backtest, live trading evidence, fee analysis, or risk assessment, so they explain platform capabilities rather than establish that any strategy using them is profitable. Other changes concern software maintenance, testing infrastructure, and existing exchange integrations.
Key ideas
- Gateway adds Meteora and Raydium connectors for Solana decentralized exchanges.
- Standardized interfaces cover swaps, automated market makers, and concentrated liquidity market makers.
- Derive support includes spot and perpetual trading through a decentralized central limit order book.
- The notes preview scripts for managing liquidity positions, but provide no strategy performance evidence.

## Release Highlights
### New Solana DEX Connectors
With the continuous refactor of Gateway approved in [NCP-22](https://snapshot.box/#/s:hbot-ncp.eth/proposal/0x5cc3540ee219787d5c842bc1ccdb11aab46203bb7f0be658b6b40858501a8e4c), this release introduces new connectors for Solana DEXs [Meteora](https://app.meteora.ag/) and [Raydium](https://raydium.io/), as well as standardized request and response interfaces for CLMM, AMM, and Swap request and responses in Gateway. In addition, Gateway can now be used as a standalone CLI. This marks a significant step towards a flexible yet standardized blueprint for adding back past Gateway connectors and supporting future DEX connectors.
The next release (2.5.0) will begin modifying the Hummingbot client to take advantage of the new CLMM and AMM connectors in Gateway, including sample Hummingbot scripts leveraging that showcase how traders can build effective strategies using these new components. As a preview, check out the video demo below for a Hummingbot script that automate Meteora LP positions by dynamically opens, monitors, and closes positions based on user-defined parameters.

### Core Environment Upgrade and Tests
This release introduces significant updates to modernize the Hummingbot environment and improve its performance and maintainability. It replaces the outdated `nose` test framework with `pytest`, removes the legacy, deprecated Telegram integration in preparation for an forthcoming update, and upgrades important libraries like Pydantic for faster performance. Collectively, these changes streamline dependency management, provide a more robust and modern testing suite, and make the codebase leaner and easier to maintain.

### New Derive Spot and Perpetual Connector
This release adds support for spot and perpetual connectors to [Derive](https://www.derive.xyz/), a decentralized CLOB trading protocol. See pull request [Hummingbot #7432](https://github.com/hummingbot/hummingbot/pull/7432) which was supported by a [bounty](https://github.com/hummingbot/hummingbot/issues/7344) funded by the Derive team.
While the bounty was just for the CLOB perpetual connector, the developer also generously added the CLO spot connector in [Hummingbot #7383](https://github.com/hummingbot/hummingbot/pull/7383). **Thanks to [isreallee82](https://github.com/isreallee82) for this contribution! 🙏**
See the [Derive](../exchanges/derive/index.md) documentation for more information.
