Lorenzo’s stBTC integration with Hemi enhances liquidity, offers new incentives, and enables seamless Bitcoin-backed asset transfers across chains.

TL;DR: Lorenzo Protocol is collaborating with the Hemi Network to expand cross-chain opportunities and boost liquidity in Hemi’s DeFi ecosystem. This collaboration will integrate Lorenzo’s stBTC into Hemi’s infrastructure, providing incentives, liquidity, and, eventually, seamless minting of stBTC via hBTC.

Hemi is collaborating with Lorenzo Protocol — the first Bitcoin liquidity finance layer on Bitcoin. This collaboration represents a significant leap forward in integrating secure Bitcoin-backed assets across multiple chains and scaling decentralized finance within Hemi’s growing ecosystem.

Deploying Lorenzo’s stBTC Bridge on Hemi

At the heart of our collaboration is the deployment of Lorenzo’s stBTC bridge on Hemi, which means that users will be able to seamlessly move stBTC across Hemi’s Layer 2 ecosystem. This integration will ensure that the growing community of stBTC users can take full advantage of secure, Bitcoin-backed assets across Hemi, unlocking new yield opportunities and providing deeper liquidity to both networks.

By supporting stBTC within Hemi, Lorenzo is enabling secure, trustless transfers between Bitcoin and Ethereum-compatible assets, driving cross-chain interoperability and accelerating DeFi growth across both ecosystems.

Boosting Liquidity and Providing Incentives

Lorenzo Protocol will further support Hemi’s DeFi ecosystem by injecting liquidity into Hemi, offering generous incentives to users who engage with stBTC and other assets on the network. This liquidity infusion will be a critical step in bootstrapping Hemi’s growing user base and offering enhanced yield opportunities for participants.

With incentives for both stakers and liquidity providers, Lorenzo and Hemi are set to drive a parallel increase in Total Value Locked (TVL), making both platforms more attractive to users and developers alike.

Minting stBTC Using hBTC on Hemi

In 2025, Hemi and Lorenzo plan to allow users to mint stBTC directly on Hemi using hBTC. This integration will create more flexibility and opportunity within the Hemi ecosystem by offering a seamless process to convert Bitcoin-backed assets like hBTC into stBTC, thereby increasing asset availability and liquidity within the network.

This process will open the door for more advanced financial products and services within the Hemi ecosystem, giving users the ability to participate in secure and decentralized Bitcoin-backed financial products without leaving the Hemi network.

Expanding Cross-Chain DeFi

Hemi’s collaboration with Lorenzo Protocol marks a major pointstone in the company’s mission to scale decentralized finance by integrating trusted Bitcoin-backed assets. By combining Lorenzo’s stBTC infrastructure with Hemi’s secure and decentralized architecture, we’re creating new opportunities for cross-chain asset transfers and deeper liquidity pools that will benefit both ecosystems.

As we continue to work together, this collaboration will play a pivotal role in enhancing decentralized finance’s security, scalability, and user experience across Hemi’s ecosystem.
