Hemi and Feather Team Up to Expand Native BTC Lending Infrastructure

Feather is now live on Hemi Mainnet, bringing BTC-powered lending and borrowing to Hemi as a new front end to Morpho’s isolated lending infrastructure. 

Morpho is an underlying lending infrastructure securing over $7.5 billion in total value across permissionless isolated vaults. Feather offers Hemi users a clean, transparent way to earn yield on BTC or borrow against crypto assets, without the risk of shared pools or unclear protocol mechanics.

This integration combines three layers into a single user experience. Hemi provides a Bitcoin-aligned settlement layer that connects BTC liquidity to programmable smart contracts without fragile bridges. Morpho supplies battle-tested isolated lending markets that separate risk at the vault level. Feather translates this infrastructure into a product built for users who prioritize control, capital efficiency, and oversight of risk factors.

Feather Vaults On Hemi Reduce Cascade Failures

Each Feather vault on Hemi is an isolated lending market with defined collateral types, loan-to-value ratios, interest rate models, and liquidation thresholds. There are no shared pools and no hidden dependencies across markets. If a market fails, it fails alone. The rest of the system continues operating normally.

Instead of aggregating assets into shared pools, Morpho structures each market as its own risk container with independent parameters and liquidation mechanics, preventing contagion from unrelated assets elsewhere in the system.

For Hemi users, this means capital is only underwrites related assets, and isn’t deployed into experimental strategies, or against non-curated assets. Every position remains onchain, auditable, and allows users to opt in at the market level.

Feather markets on Hemi are curated and parameterized by third parties such as Clearstar, which manages over seventy five million dollars in assets. Curators define market-specific collateral types, risk parameters, and interest models, with incentives aligned toward durability rather than unsustainable yield.

Feather on Hemi currently supports hemiBTC, msETH, and USDC.e for lending. Borrowable assets and collateral options include hemiBTC, rsETH, rETH, USDC.e, wETH, wBTC, and vUSD.
