Start Staking on Hemi Ahead of Mainnet Launch
Hemi’s native staking protocol, Hemi Stake, puts BTC, ETH, and more to work.

TL;DR
Hemi Stake lets users earn rewards on BTC, ETH, and stablecoins without the risks of traditional staking. It supports Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) and Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs) across Bitcoin and Ethereum with no lockup periods and zero slashing risk. Assets remain secure via audited smart contracts. Users can easily bring BTC and ERC-20s onchain through the Hemi Tunnel and bridge other assets via 3rd party bridges. Start staking today.

Few staking options exist for both Bitcoin and Ethereum assets. Hemi’s staking platform offers a decentralized, secure way to earn staking rewards for both.
Hemi Stake is designed specifically for individuals who want to get more out of their idle positions. Unlike other staking platforms, Hemi Stake supports the most popular Bitcoin and Ethereum LSTs (Liquid Staking Tokens) and LRTs (Liquid Restaking Tokens), alongside the most popular stablecoins, all via one unified platform.
Supported Assets
Within Hemi’s staking platform, we’ve partnered with several protocols, each with a unique approach to integrating Bitcoin and Ethereum assets onchain. Here’s a quick look at the BTC and ETH assets you can stake today:

Stake Securely
With Hemi Stake, users can allocate their idle Bitcoin and Ethereum assets in a secure environment. Quantstamp audits help to keep smart contracts supporting Hemi Stake secure for staked assets. Hemi’s approach removes the usual complexity of validation staking, allowing asset holders to confidently participate in onchain activities, leverage their previously idle assets, and benefit from an easy, low-risk entry point into decentralized finance.
Zero Bonding Period
Hemi Stake has no enforced bonding or unbonding period. Users can stake and unstake their assets at any time, giving participants complete flexibility to enter and exit staking freely while still retaining all rewards earned up to the moment.
Transfer To Hemi To Get Started
The Hemi Tunnel provides a secure, trust-minimized method for transferring BTC and ERC-20 assets across blockchain ecosystems by maintaining protocol-level state awareness. Compared to traditional, centralized bridges, tunneling enhances security and decentralization. For BTC holders, tunneling delivers hemiBTC, Hemi’s native representation of Bitcoin, while Ethereum users can efficiently move ETH and other ERC-20 tokens using the same robust process.
Comprehensive, step-by-step guides are available for tunneling both BTC and ERC-20s directly via the Hemi Tunnel:
Additionally, Hemi supports other assets through trusted third-party integrations with partners like Stargate, Free.tech, and Meson:
Staking Rewards
Our points-based system grants 1 Hemi Point per dollar staked daily for all supported tokens, while hemiBTC, USDC, and USDT earn a 2x boost. Staking on Hemi also qualifies your assets for additional rewards from our partner protocols, letting you earn even more than Hemi Points alone. The more you stake, the more points you accumulate.
Users will be able to see their points earned starting on March 12th when Hemi’s Mainnet Points Season officially goes live on the Absinthe UI.
Empowering Bitcoin and Ethereum Holders
Hemi Stake aims to give asset holders a practical way to participate in onchain activity without sacrificing security or simplicity. By combining exclusive BTC and ETH support with a points-based rewards system, Hemi offers a clear and accessible way to put idle tokens to work.
