Hummingbot vs Krexa

Hummingbot is a free, open-source framework you run yourself, and Condor adds natural-language agents on top. Krexa is hosted: nothing to install, with backtest and paper steps built in.

Side by side

	Hummingbot	Krexa
How you make an agent	Python scripts and configs; with Condor, describe a strategy in natural language.	Plain English, an X, YouTube, TikTok or Instagram link, no-code blocks, or your own code. Compiled once into fixed rules or hash-locked code.
Backtest	In the framework; whether Condor agents can use it is not stated.	Yes. The coded agent runs on real past prices, up to 3 years of daily bars, after fees and funding.
Paper trading	Yes, paper connectors for spot and testnets for perps.	Yes. Live prices, fake money, before any real deploy.
Where it trades	50+ exchanges and chains, spot, perps and AMMs.	21 venues: Hyperliquid, Jupiter, Polymarket, Pump.fun and xStocks on-chain; Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, Coinbase and MEXC with a trade-only key.
Who holds the money	Self-hosted: you run it and hold your own keys.	Not Krexa. Each agent has its own wallet and withdrawals go only to your address. Exchange keys that can withdraw are refused.
What it costs	Free and open source; you pay your own servers and AI costs. Has the HBOT governance token.	20% of net profit, nothing else. No subscription. Losses carry forward.
MCP for your own AI agent	Yes, hummingbot-mcp and condor-mcp, with a running Hummingbot API server.	Yes. Your agent can research, backtest and paper trade; a human signs every live deploy.

Pick Krexa if

You do not want to host and maintain a server.
You want backtest, paper and live in one flow from a sentence.
You want limits checked in code on every order, already built.

Questions

Hummingbot or Krexa if I cannot code?

Hummingbot needs you to run a server and, without Condor, write Python. Krexa needs a browser: type the idea, and it writes, tests and runs the agent.
