Hemi ($HEMI) is a modular Layer-2 protocol that builds a "supernetwork" by combining Bitcoin's strong security with Ethereum's smart contract features. It uses a unique Proof-of-Proof consensus, which connects its state to the Bitcoin blockchain, offering solid security for its ecosystem. The network supports Bitcoin-aware decentralized finance (BTCFi) applications, enabling users to transfer assets between Bitcoin and Ethereum without standard bridges. With strong investor support and a mainnet launched in March 2025, Hemi seeks to unlock the programmable potential of Bitcoin and promote DeFi innovation across different chains.
