HGP-5 [DG] Solana DEX Infrastructure

Category

Development Grant (DG)

Summary

Proposing 2 million HBOT to be reserved for integrating Hummingbot with Solana DEXs.

Description

DEX volume on Solana is consistently high, and five exchanges (Serum DEX, Mango, Raydium, Orca and Saber) are regulars in the top 20 of CGs daily traded volume. Solana's low fees and sub-second block times allow for on-chain order books, which are heavily dependent on professional market makers.

We propose two million (2,000,000,000) HBOT to be reserved for a Solana Dev Initiative in order to fund the ongoing and future development of Hummingbot's compatibility with Solana on-chain DEXes and programs.

Eligible work

Conception and implementation of Solana Gateway base endpoints + client-side Solana connector Serum DEX Gateway implementation + client-side CLOB support for Gateway endpoints Conception and implementation of Mango Markets Cross-Margin Spot & Perpetuals for Gateway + client-side cross-margin & perp support for Gateway endpoints (Note: non-existing cross-margin support may be eligible for a HGP-4 Dev Grant) Raydium and Orca AMM Gateway implementation + client-side Solana AMM support for Gateway endpoints Saber stable swaps support Any similar implementation of a Gateway routing to an AMM or CLOB protocol on Solana with substantial volume and/or community interest.

Disqualification conditions

If the connector is not related to Solana, or not compatible with any existing strategy.
