Hemi
Overview
Hemi is a modular Layer-2 blockchain network taking a new approach to Bitcoin programmability. By treating Bitcoin and Ethereum as components of a single supernetwork, it delivers superior scaling, security, and interoperability between the two.
Hemi was co-founded by Jeff Garzik, one of Bitcoin's earliest core developers, and Max Sanchez, the blockchain security pioneer behind Hemi's proprietary Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus protocol. The unique PoP consensus protocol allows Hemi’s network to harness Bitcoin's full security in a truly decentralised and permissionless manner, achieving better-than-Bitcoin transaction finality within hours rather than days.
Founded in 2024, Hemi reached 100,000 verified users within weeks of launch and rapidly scaled to $1.2B in total value locked (TVL), establishing itself as one of the most active Bitcoin Layer 2 networks in the ecosystem. A.GAIN recognized in Hemi a unique positioning with the potential to redefine the next chapter of Bitcoin programmability.
