Hemi
Hemi represents a revolutionary modular Layer-2 blockchain framework that effectively combines the robust security of Bitcoin with the flexible programmability of Ethereum by integrating a complete Bitcoin node into an Ethereum-compatible environment, referred to as the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM). This innovative setup empowers developers to create Solidity smart contracts that can directly utilize Bitcoin data without the need for bridges or synthetic assets. Through its unique Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus mechanism, Hemi provides âsuperfinality,â anchoring transactions within Bitcoin blocks to ensure high integrity and resistance to reorganizations, while also enabling rapid finality. Additionally, the Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK) equips developers with essential tools to craft authentic Bitcoin-driven DeFi solutions, including lending, staking, automated market makers, MEV systems, and multi-chain DAOs, leveraging actual BTC for collateral or yield generation. As a result, Hemi not only enhances the capabilities of decentralized finance but also fosters greater integration between two of the most significant blockchains in the ecosystem.
