Liquidity (open order volume)

In the month of February, open order volumes dropped below $500k due to the market downtrend in the past weeks.

 

The average outstanding open order volume per campaign is around $7.9k at the end of this month. This is due to the multiple campaigns launched on AscendEX exchange.

 

Filled order volumes on Binance

Miner volume on Binance continued to surge, reaching almost $2.3 billion, an increase of more than 1% month over month.

 

AVAX, RLC, and MFT still continue to lead the board, with cumulative miner-traded volumes of $373.9m, $338m, and $406.7m respectively.

 

Filled order volumes on KuCoin

The Humminbot miner's community's contribution to KuCoin's liquidity continues to grow, with cumulative FOV hitting $440.5m, a monthly growth of over 7%.

 

EXRD, FEAR, and XCAD are leading the board, with cumulative miner-traded volumes of $41.1m, $39.5m, and $51.4m respectively.

 

Filled order volumes on AscendEX

The contribution of Humminbot miner's community to AscendEX's liquidity continues to grow, with cumulative FOV reaching $361.3m, a monthly increase of more than 5%

 

XCAD and DAFI are leading the board, with cumulative miner-traded volumes of $11.3m and $6.3m respectively.

 

Filled order volumes on Gateio

The Humminbot miner community's contribution to Gateio liquidity continues to grow, with cumulative FOV hitting $37.6m, a monthly gain of 30% over the previous month.

 

XCAD and EXRD are leading the board, with cumulative miner-traded volumes near $10.9m and $6.6m respectively.

 

Filled order volume vs. reward pool

While liquidity mining does not compensate miners for filled order volume, the increased liquidity and order book depth created by miners does translate into increased trading efficiency and, consequently, additional trading volume. Trading volume is important for issuers since exchanges typically use traded volume as a benchmark to decide whether or not to maintain or remove token listings.

 

Binance Rewards vs. Filled Order Volumes

KuCoin Rewards vs. Filled Order Volumes

AscendEX Rewards vs. Filled Order Volumes

Gateio Rewards vs. Filled Order Volumes

 

Note: Liquidity mining does not reward for filled order volume nor does it guarantee a certain amount of filled order volume. The above figures are based on historical data from currently running and historical liquidity mining campaigns.

 

Top ten miners

The top ten miners, as of the end February, have been awarded a total of $1.2m equivalent in payouts.

 

Thank you!

The growth of the total number of bots across a diverse spectrum of base assets shows the health of the Hummingbot ecosystem, thanks to its increasing and energetic base of dedicated users and developers.
