Hemi is building a Bitcoin-secured execution layer that merges EVM programmability with direct access to Bitcoin state. Its architecture and Proof-of-Proof consensus allow developers to interact with native Bitcoin while simultaneously enabling users to access a variety of yield opportunities on Bitcoin-denominated LSTs and integrated DeFi applications. Through trust-minimized cross-chain tunnelling and support for programmable capital, Hemi is positioned as a foundational layer for Bitcoin-based decentralized finance. The upcoming launch of the HEMI token marks a pivotal milestone for the network. HEMI will power network operations, secure infrastructure through cross-chain coordination, and support ecosystem growth through governance, sequencing, and incentive mechanisms. It also underpins long-term alignment between users, developers, and protocol stakeholders. As Hemi matures, the token’s embedded utility and structured emissions model are designed to incentivize economic participation in Bitcoin’s evolving programmable economy.
