Hemi Labs
Hemi Labs is a modular Layer-2 protocol for superior scaling, security, and interoperability, powered by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hemi views Bitcoin and Ethereum as components of a broader supernetwork, unlocking new levels of programmability, portability, and potential. Powered by the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) and Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK), it enables cross-chain dApps with seamless Bitcoin-Ethereum integration. The network’s innovative features like PoP consensus and trustless cross-chain portability allows developers to unlock new potential in decentralized applications, leveraging the combined strengths of Bitcoin and Ethereum networks.

HEMI CORE FEATURES
Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM).
Integrates a full Bitcoin node within an EVM, allowing developers to use familiar tools to build smart contracts that work with both Bitcoin and Ethereum, while maintaining full backwards-compatibility with existing EVM dApps and wallets.
Bitcoin Programmability.
The Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK) unlocks direct smart contract access to granular Bitcoin state, enabling truly trustless Bitcoin-native applications like staking, lending markets, and MEV marketplaces.
Superfinality.
Hemi’s Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus inherits Bitcoin’s full security in an entirely decentralized and permissionless manner, and efficiently provides Bitcoin-security-as-a-Service to other blockchain networks.
Trustless Cross-Chain Portability.
Hemi's Tunnels provide a secure way to move assets between chains, vastly improving upon traditional bridge methods.
Asset Programmability.
Features include on-chain routing, time-lock, password protection, and gasless transfers, enabling seamless asset movement without requiring native chain currency.
