    Investment in Hemi Labs

    Cypher Capital, a multi-strategy crypto investment firm, participated in a $15 million seed funding round for Hemi Labs. In addition to Cypher Capital, numerous investors such as Binance, Breyer Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Crypto.com, HyperChain Capital, and many more participated. These funds will be directed towards the launch and development of the Hemi Network, aiming to enhance blockchain technology and improve network interoperability.

    Features of Hemi Network

    Hemi Network represents a unified supernetwork that includes the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) integrating a full Bitcoin node within an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This enables developers to create cross-chain smart contracts using familiar tools while maintaining compatibility with existing EVM dApps and wallets. The Hemi Network also features the Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK), providing smart contract access to granular Bitcoin state for Bitcoin-native applications such as staking and lending. The network uses a Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus mechanism to ensure Bitcoin-level security in a decentralized manner and offers Bitcoin-security-as-a-Service to other blockchain networks.
