Hemi turns idle BTC into productive capital with competitive yields across lending, liquidity pools, fixed-rate products, and derivatives.

Hemi gives BTC holders competitive DeFi yields that other EVM networks struggle to match. Here’s how you can maximize the value of your BTC and start earning a return instead of holding it idle on an exchange or in cold storage.

More than replicating Ethereum’s yield categories, Hemi extends them to BTC. That’s why the network is rapidly making a name for BTC in DeFi, with earning options across liquidity pools. AMMs, lending and borrowing, fixed-rate products, yield trading, and perps markets.

Hemi BTC-Backed Lending, Borrowing, and Pools

Hemi’s growing list of partners offers ways to explore directional or passive strategies for earning with programmable bitcoin in DeFi.

You can leverage BTC-backed assets like bfBTC to earn on BitFi or get a return by supplying BTC to lending markets like LayerZero or mint Yield Tokens (YT) on Spectra to gain exposure to rate movements. Deploy BTC to earn rewards directly into stablecoin liquidity pools on SushiSwapV3.
