Solving for Layer 2 Security, Scalability & Interoperability
summary
Claims a way to inherit Bitcoin’s full security without requiring miner buy‑in by introducing proof of proof miners that publish Hemi consensus payloads to Bitcoin so an attacker must 51% Bitcoin and Hemi to succeed. Implements an HVM — an EVM with an embedded full Bitcoin node — and exposes opcodes to send and receive BTC. Ships a developer library called the Bitcoin Kit that abstracts node interaction, and has an incentivized testnet live for hands‑on evaluation.
