Strategy type: A DEX-anchored market-making agent. Instead of pricing off the order book it's quoting into (which for a thin or newly listed token is empty, one-sided, or ours), the agent takes its fair value from the on-chain spot price of the asset's deepest Uniswap V3 pool, read directly from slot0 over RPC, and quotes a symmetric ladder of post-only limit orders around it on a centralized-style order book. In effect it exports on-chain liquidity to venues that don't have any yet. Markets / exchanges: Hyperliquid spot, AsterDEX spot, with Uniswap V3 on Arbitrum as the price oracle. Built for long-tail tokens that are liquid on-chain but have empty CEX/perp-DEX books — we bootstrapped the first two-sided market for a newly listed token from a literally empty book and have run it live since August 19 at up to $300k per side. What makes it unique: 1. The anchor is the DEX, not the venue. Reference quality is graded every tick (ok / degraded / stale / none) by comparing the pool price to whatever third-party liquidity exists on the venue after stripping our own orders and dust; degraded → every quote widens, stale or too far from the venue → all quotes pulled. The agent also measures how much capital it would cost to move the anchor pool 0.1% / 1% and logs it as its own risk, because a manipulable oracle is the real threat to this strategy. 2. Inventory-aware, not just symmetric. Quotes skew in price and size toward a target base/quote value fraction, bounded by drift brackets around actual holdings, with per-side burst-fill pauses to defuse pick-offs and a daily-loss latch that survives restarts. 3. Built for the venue's real constraints. Batched place/modify/cancel, integer-tick price math, deterministic client order IDs, a single serialized nonce queue, exponential backoff on venue refusals, and a triple dead-man (scheduled cancel + SIGTERM cancel-all + an independent watchdog process that cancels everything if the engine's heartbeat goes stale). 4. It's an Agent, not a script. The market maker is one strategy an LLM-powered trading Agent can propose from chat, priced against the user's policy engine and started only through a human "slide to approve." The same engine runs sibling strategies — a DEX↔CEX arbitrage taker and a paced round-trip volume loop — and an orchestrator Agent runs a fleet of them across dozens of exchange accounts as a strategy arena. No LLM is ever in the trading loop; the model decides what to run, deterministic code decides every order.

Condor Agent · Bitget vol-scaled market making

I am building a Condor Agent that orchestrates Hummingbot V2 execution for volatility-scaled market making on Bitget USDT-M perpetuals — not a discretionary LLM trader. The agent quotes both sides with spreads and sizes driven by realised volatility and inventory skew, then measures short-horizon markout, fees, and adverse selection after each fill. It only tightens quotes when observed net edge supports it, and switches between pre-tested tight / normal / defensive / paused modes when conditions deteriorate. Hard capital limits (inventory caps, drawdown halt, no runaway leverage, stop on stale data) are enforced in code independently of the LLM so the bot can run unattended for the 48-hour finals. Condor is already deployed on my VPS; I will submit the Condor agent, strategy.md, and a live demo before the freeze.

XRPL AMM liquidity agent built on Condor's xrpl_market_maker scaffold. Deploys the $800 into the XRP/RLUSD AMM pool with an automated fee-compounding loop (re-adds accrued fees every N ledgers) and a passive CLOB quote layer that offers inside the AMM curve on both sides. Hard risk controls: halt on –3% drawdown, inventory bounded ±$200, no leverage, no directional signals. Volume is generated by counterparty swaps against the LP position and by CLOB fills, not by taking spread. Goal is high turnover-per-dollar with variance clamped near zero — the same shape as Cohort 13's winning agent, adapted to XRPL's near-zero fee environment where $800 is not thin capital.

Strategy Type & Protocol: An autonomous, volatility-adaptive Concentrated Liquidity (DLMM) market-maker on Solana via Meteora DLMM pools, connected through Hummingbot Gateway with cross-venue delta-hedging on perpetual markets (e.g. Bitget / Gate / Hyperliquid). Core Mechanics: Rather than deploying static bin ranges, the agent dynamically prices bin spreads in Realized Volatility units ( σ t σ t ​ ). It switches between symmetric Gaussian Curve distributions during mean-reverting consolidation (maximizing fee capture per dollar) and momentum-skewed BidAsk distributions during directional flow. Cross-Venue Hedging (Delta-Neutral Yield): As price moves across bins and spot inventory shifts, the controller continuously tracks net portfolio delta ( Δ n e t Δ net ​ ) and executes low-latency micro-hedges on perpetuals to maintain delta neutrality, transforming concentrated LPing into a pure fee-harvesting engine insulated from token drawdown. What Makes This Unique: Volatility-Engineered Bins: Dynamic bin range expansion/compression calibrated to expected bin dwell time rather than arbitrary fixed percentages. Economic Churn Gate: Prevents the "rebalance whip" by requiring E [ Incremental Fees ] > Slippage + Solana Priority Fees + Hedge Rebalance Cost E[Incremental Fees]>Slippage+Solana Priority Fees+Hedge Rebalance Cost, backed by a multi-slot dwell verification. Fail-Closed Safety Engine: Built with Hummingbot V2 Controller architecture, including automated markout telemetry, stale RPC circuit breakers, and hard inventory floor stops.

I want to build an evidence-gated market-making agent for Gate’s BTC/USDT perpetual market using a Hummingbot V2 Controller with a constrained Condor monitoring layer. The controller will quote both sides continuously for volume, while adjusting spread, order size and inventory skew using realised volatility, order-book depth, recent fill quality and current exposure. What makes the strategy different is its focus on measured execution quality rather than backtest profit alone. After every fill, it will measure short-horizon markout, fees and adverse selection.

Deterministic safeguards will cap leverage, inventory, drawdown and daily loss, and will stop trading on stale data or account-state mismatches. I have already built the research and paper-trading foundations for this approach in Hummingbot, including chronological walk-forward testing, data-quality checks, realistic fee and missed-fill modelling, immutable order/fill records and fail-closed execution.

A market-making agent on Hyperliquid perpetuals — with the edge in position sizing rather than quoting. Dynamic spread adjustment on volatility and inventory is table stakes; every serious entrant will have it. Most 48-hour races aren't lost on bad spreads, they're lost to inventory blowup. So my differentiator is a capital-pacing controller I've already built and tested, which ports TCP congestion control — Google's BBR — to capital deployment. Instead of trading until it hits a risk limit (the loss-based behaviour of 1980s TCP), it continuously models a ceiling from measured value-rate and result-latency, paces inventory below it, and probes upward only when the model says there's room. Underneath sits a hard floor — per-position, total inventory, rolling-24h — that holds regardless of what the model believes; a test fires 10,000 retries at it and proves it cannot overspend. The transplant has precedent: Netflix took BBR's insight out of the network and into RPC concurrency limits. This is the second hop — requests to capital. Volume comes from quoting both sides continuously; survival comes from the controller. In a race scored on volume and P&L over a fixed window, the agent still standing at hour 47 wins.

Solo builder, Chisinau. Market microstructure and liquidation data. 25 services in production.

quench is a market maker for Bitget USDT-M perpetuals, built as a Hummingbot V2 controller. It quotes both sides in units of realised volatility, and every exit scales with the quote that filled it, so a fill five volatility units away from mid targets its way back toward mid instead of a fixed take profit. That single detail is what decides whether a wide quote pays for itself. On top of the quoting sits a liquidation fuel map. A collector reads open interest changes off the perpetual tape and projects them into leverage-implied liquidation clusters above and below price, marking a cluster spent once the tape has traded through it. The agent will not sell into unspent short-liquidation fuel above it and will not buy into long-liquidation fuel below it. When the feed goes stale the layer switches itself off and the agent falls back to plain volatility-scaled quoting. It never acts on stale data. I ran it inside Hummingbot's own V2 backtesting engine over fourteen days of one-minute SOL data, with 34 offline tests, and I will tell you what the numbers said rather than what I wanted them to say. Quoting one volatility unit wide loses money at a 2 bp maker fee, because gross edge per round trip is 2.3 bp. Quoting five and ten wide earns 5.7 bp gross, clears the fee, and returns a t-statistic of 2.4 across 53 fills with both halves of the sample positive. The liquidation layer as first written cost 11 percent of net, so I cut the component responsible instead of keeping it for the story. Solo builder in Chisinau, running about 25 services in production on my own box with watchdogs. The agent will still be alive at hour 47.

Regime-Aware Solana Liquidity Agent Build a Condor agent that autonomously provides concentrated liquidity on Meteora or Orca while protecting its capital from volatile or unsafe pools. The agent would: Scan eligible Solana pools. Rank them using fees, liquidity, volume, volatility, and token-risk signals. Detect whether the market is trending, ranging, or becoming unstable. Open concentrated-liquidity positions only when expected fee income justifies the risk. Dynamically widen, narrow, or reposition its liquidity range. Exit when volatility, drawdown, pool quality, or impermanent-loss risk becomes excessive. Explain and log every decision. Enforce hard capital limits independently of the LLM.

Trading agent description: This agent implements an active, tight-range concentrated liquidity market making strategy on Orca Whirlpools (Solana), targeting the SOL/USDC pair. Rather than deploying a passive full-range LP position, the agent continuously monitors price and maintains an ultra-narrow tick range (±1–2% of spot) around the current market price to maximize capital efficiency and fee capture per dollar deployed. Strategy type: Active concentrated liquidity provision with automated range-rebalancing. When price exits the current tick range, the agent closes the position and immediately reopens a new tight range centered on the updated price — converting a normally passive AMM LP position into an actively managed market making strategy. The agent also applies a directional skew (asymmetric range placement) based on short-term momentum signals, biasing liquidity toward the side price is more likely to move, which increases fee capture on directional moves while still collecting fees if price stays range-bound. Markets/exchanges: Trades exclusively on Orca Whirlpools on Solana, accessed via Hummingbot Gateway's DEX connector. Primary pair is SOL/USDC, chosen for deep liquidity, high trading volume, and Orca's 0.30% base fee tier with adaptive fee scaling during volatility spikes. What makes this unique: Most LP bots optimize for long-term stability and minimize impermanent loss through wide ranges. This agent is optimized for short evaluation windows, deliberately trading capital efficiency and IL risk for maximum fee-per-dollar throughput — effectively acting as "leverage" on a spot AMM without any borrowing, since a ±1% range can achieve over 200x the capital efficiency of a full-range position. Backtested rebalancing thresholds and range parameters are validated offline using a zipline-reloaded–based fee/IL simulation before being deployed live via Hummingbot Gateway, bridging traditional quant backtesting infrastructure with on-chain execution.

I'm building an automated liquidity-management agent for Meteora's DLMM pools on Solana, using a Hummingbot Controller connected through the Gateway connector. It opens a concentrated-liquidity position centered on the current price, monitors the pool continuously, and automatically closes and re-opens the position whenever price drifts outside the active range so capital keeps earning fees instead of sitting idle out of range. I'm starting with a simple, well-tested bin distribution and conservative rebalancing thresholds to limit churn and impermanent loss, with room to add volatility-based sizing as I iterate. This is my first Solana/DeFi build, so I'm prioritizing something simple and reliable over something exotic.

It quotes both sides in units of realised volatility, and every exit scales with the quote that filled it, so a fill five volatility units away from mid targets its way back toward mid instead of a fixed take profit. That single detail is what decides whether a wide quote pays for itself. On top of the quoting sits a liquidation fuel map. A collector reads open interest changes off the perpetual tape and projects them into leverage-implied liquidation clusters above and below price, marking a cluster spent once the tape has traded through it. The agent will not sell into unspent short-liquidation fuel above it and will not buy into long-liquidation fuel below it. When the feed goes stale the layer switches itself off and the agent falls back to plain volatility-scaled quoting. It never acts on stale data. I ran it inside Hummingbot's own V2 backtesting engine over fourteen days of one-minute SOL data, with 34 offline tests, and I will tell you what the numbers said rather than what I wanted them to say. Quoting one volatility unit wide loses money at a 2 bp maker fee, because gross edge per round trip is 2.3 bp. Quoting five and ten wide earns 5.7 bp gross, clears the fee, and returns a t-statistic of 2.4 across 53 fills with both halves of the sample positive. The liquidation layer as first written cost 11 percent of net, so I cut the component responsible instead of keeping it for the story. Solo builder in Chisinau, running about 25 services in production on my own box with watchdogs. The agent will still be alive at hour 47.

Regime-Aware Solana Liquidity Agent Build a Condor agent that autonomously provides concentrated liquidity on Meteora or Orca while protecting its capital from volatile or unsafe pools. The agent would: Scan eligible Solana pools. Rank them using fees, liquidity, volume, volatility, and token-risk signals. Detect whether the market is trending, ranging, or becoming unstable. Open concentrated-liquidity positions only when expected fee income justifies the risk. Dynamically widen, narrow, or reposition its liquidity range. Exit when volatility, drawdown, pool quality, or impermanent-loss risk becomes excessive. Explain and log every decision. Enforce hard capital limits independently of the LLM.

Trading agent description: This agent implements an active, tight-range concentrated liquidity market making strategy on Orca Whirlpools (Solana), targeting the SOL/USDC pair. Rather than deploying a passive full-range LP position, the agent continuously monitors price and maintains an ultra-narrow tick range (±1–2% of spot) around the current market price to maximize capital efficiency and fee capture per dollar deployed. Strategy type: Active concentrated liquidity provision with automated range-rebalancing. When price exits the current tick range, the agent closes the position and immediately reopens a new tight range centered on the updated price — converting a normally passive AMM LP position into an actively managed market making strategy. The agent also applies a directional skew (asymmetric range placement) based on short-term momentum signals, biasing liquidity toward the side price is more likely to move, which increases fee capture on directional moves while still collecting fees if price stays range-bound. Markets/exchanges: Trades exclusively on Orca Whirlpools on Solana, accessed via Hummingbot Gateway's DEX connector. Primary pair is SOL/USDC, chosen for deep liquidity, high trading volume, and Orca's 0.30% base fee tier with adaptive fee scaling during volatility spikes. What makes this unique: Most LP bots optimize for long-term stability and minimize impermanent loss through wide ranges. This agent is optimized for short evaluation windows, deliberately trading capital efficiency and IL risk for maximum fee-per-dollar throughput — effectively acting as "leverage" on a spot AMM without any borrowing, since a ±1% range can achieve over 200x the capital efficiency of a full-range position. Backtested rebalancing thresholds and range parameters are validated offline using a zipline-reloaded–based fee/IL simulation before being deployed live via Hummingbot Gateway, bridging traditional quant backtesting infrastructure with on-chain execution.

I'm building an automated liquidity-management agent for Meteora's DLMM pools on Solana, using a Hummingbot Controller connected through the Gateway connector. It opens a concentrated-liquidity position centered on the current price, monitors the pool continuously, and automatically closes and re-opens the position whenever price drifts outside the active range so capital keeps earning fees instead of sitting idle out of range. I'm starting with a simple, well-tested bin distribution and conservative rebalancing thresholds to limit churn and impermanent loss, with room to add volatility-based sizing as I iterate. This is my first Solana/DeFi build, so I'm prioritizing something simple and reliable over something exotic.
