Hummingbot x Derive Exchange Connector Campaign

This campaign is open-ended and designed to reward algo traders who help grow the liquidity and trading volume on Derive. The program includes incentives for both simple market-making setups and more advanced funding rate strategies.

Description

Integrate the Derive exchange connector with your Hummingbot client and earn rewards by contributing to market liquidity or capturing arbitrage opportunities on Derive’s spot or perpetual markets.


How to Participate

  1. Connect to Derive using the Hummingbot connector. Integration guides are available here.
  2. Submit your registration using the official signup form. Each user must register a unique Derive wallet address and Hummingbot instance ID.
  3. Run your strategy on Derive’s perpetual markets (spot or perps).
  4. Once your bot generates at least $150 in total trading fees (long or short), you’ll become eligible for the reward.
