Hemi

Hemi is a Bitcoin execution layer designed to unlock DeFi capabilities directly on Bitcoin infrastructure. Unlike platforms that wrap or stake BTC into synthetic tokens, Hemi uses tunneling technology to maintain native Bitcoin exposure while enabling programmable functionality.

The platform features hVM (Hemi Virtual Machine), which reads native Bitcoin data rather than relying on proxies. This allows applications to settle directly on Bitcoin while maintaining Ethereum compatibility for DeFi operations. Users can configure settlement options from fast finality to full Bitcoin verification.

Key features include:

• Native Bitcoin tunneling instead of wrapping or staking
• Treasury-grade execution layer with oversight and compliance hooks
• Transparent yield reporting with time-stamped proofs and on-chain attestations
• Risk controls allowing users to define liquidity tiers and settlement preferences
• 90+ protocol partnerships with over $1.2B in total value locked

Hemi targets institutional users and treasuries seeking Bitcoin-native yield opportunities with auditable reporting and configurable risk management. The platform emphasizes transparency over trust, providing market-driven yields with disclosed incentives and verifiable attestations published on-chain.
