Mainnet is here!

The long-awaited Hemi Mainnet is live, marking a major milestone for Bitcoin-secured DeFi. After months of rigorous development, community engagement, and extensive partner collaborations, Hemi Mainnet has officially launched, offering a dynamic environment with real utility from day one.

A Network Ready for Day One

From the outset, the Hemi team emphasized the importance of building a network where users could immediately engage. “We are a network that has a lot for people to do on day one—and we delivered,” said Phil Gomes. The overwhelming response from partners and the community showcased the readiness and momentum behind Hemi Mainnet.

The launch was marked by a flood of activity across Discord and social media, with the Hemi “Sunrise” videos from partners highlighting their integrations. “Seeing our partners post their day one sunrise videos was incredibly gratifying. These are projects that committed early and have been building alongside us, ensuring they were ready from day one,” Gomes said.

A Well-Oiled Machine

CEO Max Sanchez echoed this sentiment, recognizing the collective effort behind the smooth Mainnet deployment. “The Mainnet launch went smoothly. Things are looking good on the backend, and all final releases, including pop mining and the points system, are up and running. A huge shoutout to the engineering team, marketing team, and our BD team, who worked tirelessly to make this happen.”

Behind the scenes, the Mainnet launch represented months of coordination with ecosystem partners. “The list of partners deploying on Hemi Mainnet is the result of six months of relentless business development,” Max said. “Not only did we get these teams to commit, but many of them were ready with liquidity and protocols on launch day.”

The Builders: Partners Launching on Hemi

A key highlight of the Mainnet launch event was the participation of partner projects that have committed to building on Hemi. Several teams took the stage to introduce their platforms and their role within the growing Hemi ecosystem.

Atlas: The First Native DEX

Atlas, a concentrated liquidity DEX built on Hemi Mainnet, was among the first projects to go live. Atlas aims to provide an optimized liquidity experience with automated LP pools and directional trading strategies, making DeFi on Hemi more efficient and user-friendly.

Mint Park: A Multi-Chain NFT Marketplace

Mint Park, an NFT marketplace enabling cross-chain NFT trading, also launched on Hemi Mainnet. “Hemi was our first Mainnet launch, and the response has been incredible,” said Michael from Mint Park. The platform gained rapid traction, with its Hemi badge NFT collection surpassing 100,000 mints within a week. “Our next step is to onboard more creators and expand integrations across multiple Bitcoin Layer 2s, allowing seamless NFT transfers.”

Lorenzo: Bringing Liquid Staking to Bitcoin DeFi

Lorenzo has positioned itself as a cornerstone of Bitcoin DeFi on Hemi. “If you have idle Bitcoin, why not put it to work? Our STBTC token lets users earn yield while still benefiting from Bitcoin’s security,” said Bart from Lorenzo. With integrations across multiple DeFi protocols, Lorenzo is making Bitcoin a productive asset while maintaining its core ethos.

YieldNest: Structured Yield Optimization

YieldNest introduced its structured product suite for Hemi Mainnet, offering automated strategies for maximizing risk-adjusted returns. “We create self-evolving vaults that optimize yield across multiple chains, now integrating directly with Hemi,” explained Dio from Yield Nest. “Our BTC Max Vault will be designed to settle directly on Hemi, taking advantage of its Bitcoin-native security.”

Looking Ahead

With Mainnet live, the focus now shifts to community growth and further infrastructure expansion. The pre-show is over—it’s time for the main stage. Stay connected on our Discord for what’s next.
