The Hummingbot Foundation is an experiment in creating a self-sustainable open source ecosystem by distributing HBOT tokens to community developers who maintain the codebase.
We iterate to improve upon this distribution process via Epochs. Each Epoch is a quarterly period that are basically long agile sprints, after which the Foundation and the community may propose changes for the next Epoch.
Polls divide a fixed pool of HBOT between the connectors based on their pro-rata voting share. The Foundation assigns maintenance bounties to community developers for each connector using these amounts. See the Connector Pots tab in HBOT Tracker for the current allocations for each exchange.
Approved Governance Changes: HGP-70
The Foundation implemented three separate polls, one for each exchange type. To ensure room for new community-suggested exchanges while respecting the 20-choice limit, the following exchange removal conditions apply:
This system ensures at least 2 open slots in each exchange type for new additions every quarter. These removal conditions apply in addition to the current Minimum HBOT inclusion threshold (400K HBOT).
