Programmable
Bitcoin

No wrapping. No pretending. Just real Bitcoin doing real work.

Why fake it when you can build with the real thing?

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.

Super-Network
Infrastructure

The first and only protocol to connect BTC + ETH at the core.

BTC’s security and ETH’s flexibility finally click.

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.

Bitcoin-Powered
Finality

Bitcoin-grade security without the bottlenecks.

Trustless security. Bulletproof finality.

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.

Next-Gen
BTCFi

Bitcoin just became programmable, profitable, and powerful.

The Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK) gives builders the tools to unlock real BTCFi.

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.

Launch-Ready
Ecosystem

The fastest way to launch your won Bitcoin-secured network.

Chainbuilder gives developers launch-ready infrastructure with Bitcoin-grade trust.

These custom environments tap into the security of Bitcoin and the programmability of Ethereum, accelerating innovation across DeFi, dApps, gaming, and real-world assets.
feature-icon_encapsulation-technology

Trustless Re-Staking
with Native BTC

A new frontier in Bitcoin yield.

Put your Bitcoin to work, without wrapping it in risk.

Projects can now re-stake real BTC to help secure dApps, power new protocols, and earn yield—natively. No synthetic assets or middlemen. Just pure, programmable Bitcoin securing the future of decentralized infrastructure.

FAQs

What is Hemi?

Hemi is the programmable Bitcoin chain that scales Bitcoin beyond money – powered by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Whereas other projects approach Bitcoin and Ethereum as ecosystem silos, Hemi views them as components of a single supernetwork. This unlocks new levels of programmability, portability, and potential for Bitcoin DeFi and more. Co-founded by Jeff Garzik (former Bitcoin Core developer) and Max Sanchez (inventor of the Proof-of-Proof consensus protocol), Hemi is led by a team of renowned blockchain engineers, strategic partners, and investors.

Unlike wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) or centralized custodial solutions, Hemi utilizes a tunnel system and Proof-of-Proof consensus to transfer Bitcoin across chains securely. No middlemen. No synthetic tokens. Just real Bitcoin with full programmability and security.

$HEMI powers the financial core of the Hemi network. It’s used for staking, governance, transaction fees, and securing the network through PoP consensus. Staked $HEMI token holders ($veHEMI) will be eligible to share in network rewards.

Yes. To participate in governance decisions and earn staking rewards, we encourage token holders to stake their $HEMI tokens. The Staked Hemi Token is $veHEMI.

Yes. Hemi allows you to stake your tunnelled Bitcoin to earn rewards while maintaining ownership. You also have the option to stake $HEMI tokens for ecosystem-wide incentives.

Hemi is backed by over 90 ecosystem partners, including Sushi, LayerZero, MetaMask, Redstone, and more. A complete list is available on the Ecosystem page.

Early registrants will receive detailed instructions on participation and allocation.

You can learn more about Hemi by reading our documentation, visiting our website, reading the whitepaper, or joining the community on Discord.

Following industry best practices to comply with OFAC and sanction regulations, a small minority of token recipients may be subject to additional verification.
