The companies will collaborate on security and auditing.

TL;DR: Hemi and Quantstamp are collaborating to boost security across their networks. This collaboration combines Hemi’s cross-chain protocol with Quantstamp’s audit expertise, enhancing the security of core Hemi components like the hVM and hBK. 

Hemi and Quantstamp have announced a new collaboration aimed at elevating security within their networks. This collaborative audit will mark a significant step toward integrating rigorous security measures with the Hemi Network’s innovative cross-chain architecture, helping both Bitcoin and Ethereum developers create secure, scalable, and interoperable applications.

Hemi’s modular protocol offers unique solutions for cross-chain interoperability, asset transfer, and scalability between Bitcoin and Ethereum, all reinforced by advanced security features such as superfinality and encapsulation. Quantstamp, a leading blockchain security firm with a proven track record, has conducted hundreds of audits and helped protect over $200 billion in digital assets from potential vulnerabilities. Both teams share a strong commitment to robust security and a vision to advance decentralized application (dApp) safety across multiple chains.

As part of this collaboration, Quantstamp will apply its expertise to audit Hemi’s core components, including the hVM and hBK. This will ensure that the foundational modules powering cross-chain operability, secure asset transfers, and transaction finality are thoroughly protected against potential exploits. In return, Quantstamp will gain access to Hemi’s ecosystem, expanding its reach in securing cross-chain applications built on Hemi’s protocol.

This collaboration also opens the door for future innovations, as both Hemi and Quantstamp work toward enhancing security models in decentralized finance (DeFi) and cross-chain transactions. With Quantstamp’s audit expertise and Hemi’s advanced features, such as Ethereum Tunnels and PoP-backed superfinality, developers will be equipped to build applications that meet the highest standards of security and reliability.
