Why Hemi?

Hemi is building the ideal hybrid super-network ecosystem for dozens of use cases at scale.

The Hybrid Network

As stated by Hemi, "The Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) is an EVM with a Bitcoin full node embedded inside and accessible from smart contracts. The hVM introduces new precompile contracts which perform queries against the embedded Bitcoin node". What does this mean for users? For LPs? Simply put - it means that users get the flexibility and programmability of the EVM with the robust and secure decentralized of the Bitcoin Network.

The best of both worlds.

Network Comparisons

Bitcoin-secured programmable networks and DeFi are currently experiencing a renaissance. Thousands of builders and users are working to build the future of finance on top of Bitcoin. That said, Hemi currently has the best possible combination of interoperability, flexibility and security available for Bitcoin-oriented networks.

A comparison of features between Hemi and major competitors.

Features like trustless interoperability through Hemi Tunnels, PoP consensus and real-time access to Bitcoin state make Hemi the ultimate network for BTC builders. The choice for Atlas was simple.
