Technology

Hemi is secured by Bitcoin through Proof-of-Proof, a consensus protocol invented by co-founder Max Sanchez. Its Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) wraps an Ethereum Virtual Machine around a Bitcoin node, the Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK) exposes Bitcoin state to developers, and Tunnels move assets between Bitcoin, Hemi and Ethereum.
