I am explored @hemi_xyz again, and my mind is blown.
They're bringing REAL Bitcoin to DeFi, no wrapping, no bridges, no custodians needed.
Think about it: native BTC working directly with smart contracts. Not some synthetic copy.
The actual thing. The secret sauce?
Their Hemi Virtual Machine runs a full Bitcoin node inside an EVM. Devs can use Solidity to build with actual Bitcoin.
Wait… Bitcoin can do what now?
> Full Bitcoin node
> Inside an EVM
> Smart contracts that *see* Bitcoin state
> React to real BTC transactions
> Move assets across chains with no middlemen
> And secure it all… by anchoring to *Bitcoin itself*
All in one protocol.
It’s called Hemi.
While everyone’s fighting over wrapped BTC and broken bridges…
They just quietly did the impossible.
You get the programmability of Ethereum.
The security of Bitcoin.
In one modular Layer 2.
Here’s the kicker:
> hVM = Ethereum VM + Bitcoin node
> PoP = Proof-of-Proof → txs reach Bitcoin finality in 90 mins
> Tunnels = BTC<>ETH asset transfer, no trust required
> TVL hit $1B+ in 38 days
> Backed by Binance Labs
> Built by Jeff Garzik (ex Bitcoin Core dev) + Max Sanchez (inventor of PoP)
It’s literally a Bitcoin-aware EVM with superpowers.
BTC DeFi now actually possible.
Cross-chain lending, MEV, escrows, on-chain triggers.
All native. All composable.
Hemi doesn’t just connect Bitcoin and Ethereum.
It fuses them.
Love working with teams that innovate this much
Keep an eye on this one (personally farming points rn) ()
$15M seed round from Binance Labs, crushed mainnet launch, and hit $1B+ TVL faster than any protocol I've seen. 140k+ degens and growing.
This @hemi_xyz community's different
