Introduction

Trading Bots are for-profit bots run on Drift Protocol for the purposes of automating particular trading strategies. In addition to the financial incentive, Trading Bots provide other users on the exchange with better, more accurate pricing and better liquidity.

There are two primary types of trading bots that can be run on Drift Protocol. We have provided examples here:

Bot Type	Difficulty	Capital Required	Rewards	Link

_Note: all bots require some amount of SOL to pay transaction fees. _
