Maia DAO And Hemi Team Up to Strengthen Omnichain OFT Bridging with Hermes Protocol

Maia DOA has integrated support for Hemi on Hermes Protocol, enabling users to seamlessly swap and bridge assets to and from the network using its Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) swap flow. The OFT standard simplifies crosschain capital moves, reducing complexity and fragmentation.

The protocol facilitates a crosschain architecture to bridge and swap supported assets, including ETH, HEMI, and hemiBTC, directly into the Hemi ecosystem. By leveraging LayerZero’s OFT standard, Hermes enables the seamless transfer of assets across chains, eliminating the need for wrapped representations or liquidity silos.

The integration lowers the barrier to entry for participants in Hemi’s growing BTC-enabled DeFi ecosystem. Hemi users can leverage Hermes to more efficiently deploy BTC as a productive asset into numerous integrated protocols that facilitate lending, staking, liquidity provision, trading, perpetuals markets, and more.

For developers and protocols building on Hemi, Hermes provides an additional path for onboarding liquidity and users from across the broader omnichain landscape. By supporting OFT-based assets, Hermes aligns with Hemi’s approach to crosschain connectivity.

The protocol is live; swap assets to Hemi with Hermes today.
