Introducing The Bot Pod — a weekly deep-dive into AI-powered crypto trading from the maintainers of Hummingbot.

In this debut episode, @fengtality and @cardosofede unveil Condor, the new open source harness for building autonomous trading agents. Watch them build and deploy a live trading agent from scratch in under an hour.

@LeoMargolis_ No, perps are superior bc they don't have strikes and expirys

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@_choppingblock Builder fees have network effects. It's easy to send your users to one venue rather than multiple.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@choffstein Lemme guess - Binance leads all

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

This is an important security lesson for anyone deploying cloud servers. We will soon introduce a step-by-step Hummingbot cloud deployment guide that uses @Tailscale to set up your own private network.

Securing Your Server - Tailscale & the AI Bot Threat 🕵️‍♂️

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@dcc_crypto Not a bad idea - now build it.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@TheStalwart The key is follow-through. Whether you raise capital or sell a token, you're making a promise. If you see it through, you'll be rewarded in the long-term.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@TheStalwart @tracyalloway What he said about cold-calling 100 ppl a day teaching him to talk to anyone on the phone... I feel the same way about fundraising. After 15 years of being a startup founder, I can raise capital for anything.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

I think DFBAs make sense intuitively but the challenge is that most market participants don't really understand the benefits since they aren't microstructure nerds but do perceive a speed bump vs trading on CLOBs. There's a big cold start problem, but I'm hopeful that you can solve it.

@sandeepnailwal How many apps are live on Polygon today? With exponential growth, it must be in the billions, right?

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

Hummingbot is ideal for this

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

ex-jane street trader on where small traders can still find edge:

"are there going to be inefficiencies in the market, pockets in the pink sheets or something, where it's just not worth a large successful company's trader time to look? yes. those will always exist. and they'll get slowly competed away by mom-and-pop trading operations, or former jane street traders at home doing it for fun."

if you are looking for pure inefficiencies you have to go where there is less competition.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@blknoiz06 That's why you should be market making, not just trading

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@guywuolletjr Lol that's not how finance works. Learn some history, kid.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

@mansourtarek_ Shiller didn't invent perps, @BitMEX did. Ideas are worthless without execution.

Hummingbot is ideally suited for cross-exchange liquidity provision and arbitrage

[Fede Cardoso @cardosofede]

2 years ago I was teaching on YouTube how the funding rate arbitrage strategy works between @HyperliquidX and @binance --> https://t.co/cDfVueEefw
now in @_hummingbot we are adding more perp dexes like @pacifica_fi @Lighter_xyz @grvt_io @DecibelTrade @aevoxyz @DeriveXYZ @injective @dYdX

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

Anyone have a @kalshi perps invite code?

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

Both @Polymarket and @Kalshi are launching perps 👀

Support coming to @_hummingbot soon!

[DYJ @davidyjeong]

people bearposting @hyperliquidx for the CFTC news are small minded. MOST americans (retail or institutional) still don't know about perps. the pie grew 10x, why are you talking about how big the slices are

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

So Trump used the threat of a federal lawsuit against the IRS to coerce them into a deal for immunity forever.

Claude, what is racketeering?

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

Simple example: Codex CLI still uses a single font color for all text, making it hard to scan.

[Michael Feng @fengtality]

Now using both Claude Code and Codex CLI.

The model gap has narrowed but Claude's harness UX is still distinctly superior.
