Hemi integrates a full Bitcoin node inside an Ethereum-compatible EVM. Developers can now create applications that interact directly with Bitcoin data. This enables lending, staking, and other DeFi functions using actual BTC, not synthetic versions or wrapped substitutes.
Hemi merges the security of Bitcoin and the programmability of Ethereum into a unified protocol layer. Assets, contracts, and liquidity can move freely between ecosystems using a secure tunneling system. The result is true composability between the two most valuable networks in crypto.
Using our proprietary Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus, Hemi achieves Bitcoin-level finality without requiring miner involvement. Transactions gain deep security and resistance to reorgs, while maintaining the speed and flexibility of an L2.
Builders can unlock real yield, create lending platforms, and power financial applications using native BTC. This is a new chapter for Bitcoin utility in decentralized finance.
These custom environments tap into the security of Bitcoin and the programmability of Ethereum, accelerating innovation across DeFi, dApps, gaming, and real-world assets.
Projects can now re-stake real BTC to help secure existing or new protocols, and earn yield—natively. No synthetic assets or middlemen. Just pure, programmable Bitcoin securing the future of decentralized infrastructure.
The Hemi VM (hVM) is a full Bitcoin node wrapped inside an EVM, the best way to deliver the capabilities of both networks.
hVM enables:
Low-fee Bitcoin DeFi
Bitcoin-Secured AI
Non-Custodial Bitcoin Services
Cross-Chain Exchanges
Multi-Chain DAOs
Bitcoin-Backed Finance
