#solana speed. #Mantle liquidity. Now connected to #BTCFi
Solana sets the pace for high-throughput trading, while $MNT is becoming a liquidity venue for Ethereum-native DeFi. Users on both sides are moving size all day; the real question is how easily that capital can reach new opportunities.
That is where Hemi’s LI.FI integration fits in.
With LI.FI plugged into Hemi, a swap from Solana or Mantle into Hemi feels like a single decision instead of a multi-step chore. Users can route assets from the ecosystems they already trade in and land directly inside Hemi’s BTCFi layer, without juggling multiple apps or manual hops.
Once funds arrive on Hemi, they can rotate into BTC-backed yield, liquidity provision, or DeFi strategies that treat Bitcoin as a programmable asset. For builders, LI.FI gives a standard way for users to enter from many chains, while Hemi focuses on turning that flow into Bitcoin-native activity.
Multi-chain access is getting smoother. Hemi makes sure Bitcoin is part of that story.
AAVE and MORPHO show what efficient collateral markets can achieve.
Maker’s DAI tops $5 billion in supply, supporting more than $8 billion in annual borrowing across Ethereum’s lending protocols.
Yet, it’s built on a fraction of the capital that actually exists.
Bitcoin holds $1.9 trillion in self-custodied value; however, as one of the most capital-rich assets in the world, it’s barely tapped.
Hemi changes that.
Preserving custody and anchoring to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work, Hemi opens the door for lending, liquidity provision, and yield strategies built directly on Bitcoin’s balance sheet.
A new collateral market emerges. Same DeFi mechanics. A much larger asset base.
Rollups like OP delay finality. Sidechains depend on weaker validators. Bridges introduce risk.
Hemi redefines Layer-2 by merging Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s flexibility in a scalable, developer-friendly supernetwork. Its hybrid Proof-of-Proof (PoP) anchors to Bitcoin’s PoW, delivering stronger finality and resilience than traditional L2s.
With sovereign tunnels replacing custodial bridges and the hVM enabling crosschain apps inside an #evm environment, Hemi ensures interoperability without sacrificing performance or security.
This layered model eliminates the usual trade-offs, setting a new standard for what L2s can achieve.
