Hummingbot connectors standardize REST and WebSocket API interfaces to different types of exchanges, enabling you to build sophisticated trading strategies that can be deployed across many exchanges with minimal changes. We classify exchanges into the following categories:

• CEX: Centralized exchanges that take custody of your funds. Use API keys to connect with Hummingbot.
• DEX: Decentralized, non-custodial exchanges that operate on a blockchain. Use wallet keys to connect with Hummingbot.

In addition, connectors differ based on the type of market supported:

• CLOB Spot: Connectors to spot markets on central limit order book (CLOB) exchanges
• CLOB Perp: Connectors to perpetual futures markets on CLOB exchanges
• AMM: Connectors to spot markets on Automatic Market Maker (AMM) decentralized exchanges

We are grateful for the following exchanges that support the development and maintenance of Hummingbot via broker partnerships and sponsorships.
