The Hemi Mainnet Guide
Hemi has grown since mainnet launch, with more ways than ever to put your portfolio of Bitcoin and EVM-based assets to work.
Since Hemi’s mainnet milestone, the network has amassed over $1 billion in TVL. Hemi now stands at the peak of the Bitcoin L2 landscape, standing apart as the one network that truly unifies the ecosystems of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
This guide will walk you through what we’ve added since launch and then wrap up with everything you’ve been able to do since the beginning. Questions? Join our Discord. Hemigos are always happy to help.

What’s New
Since going live, even more protocols have joined Hemi, providing users a way to activate both EVM-based assets and Bitcoin in DeFi. Protocols like:
Raga
Raga’s automated vaults on Hemi support Bitcoin-native and stablecoins, with future support coming for EVM-based assets via Hemi tunnels. The protocol’s one-click strategies help to reduce steps for yield strategies with effortless rebalancing. Built directly into the hVM, Raga minimizes trust assumptions, so that Bitcoin holders can participate in dynamic cross-protocol yield strategies without a complex setup.
Satori
Satori is the first perpetual DEX on Hemi, so users can trade perps at leverage for Bitcoin and other assets. Satori also supports vaults with on-chain yield and trading strategies. Satori offers long or short positions at 50x leverage for BTC and ETH, or 25x leverage for dozens of other supported assets. With non-custodial vault access, the protocol focuses on security and optimization, expanding structured yield product options for Hemi traders.
Spectra
Spectra pools on Hemi bring fixed-rate options and yield leverage products, seeded with over $18 million in liquidity. Users can lock in fixed yields or wield up to 34x leverage for notional exposure on Bitcoin-native assets. Spectra’s foundational DeFi primitives, Principal Tokens (PT) representing fixed rate positions, and Yield Tokens (YT) representing leverage-based positions trade on Hemi pools, earning swap fees, fixed rate returns, and native asset yields for liquidity providers.
Follow these tutorials to use Spectra:
Relay
Relay and Hemi team up for cross-chain payment execution across Bitcoin and Ethereum via an optimistic execution model. Relay brings rapid transaction settlement, minimal gas costs, and features allowing for seamless bridging, NFT minting, and gas abstraction.
ZNS Connect
The integration of ZNS Connect and Hemi brings human-readable names and domain tools that developers and users on Hemi can use to create secure, alphanumeric wallet identifiers that work across blockchains. They can also access apps, DEXs, and other tools directly via their .hvm domain. With .hvm domain support, users can access personalized Web3 pages, manage a digital identity, and interact with Hemi-based apps that support ZNS names.
1Delta
1Delta brings Hemi an all-in-one aggregator that reduces DeFi complexity, combining swaps, bridging, margin trading, and 1-click leverage into a single platform. 1Delta routes across numerous potential paths to ensure the most optimal gas prices for swaps. 1Delta also allows users to open and close long and short positions easily. By connecting with existing lending protocols, 1Delta facilitates the swapping of collateral or debt-based assets without needing to unwind the assets.
eOracle
eOracle and Hemi are working together to bring users dedicated, reliable price feeds that support DeFi apps connecting to Bitcoin and Ethereum. This integration allows partners, such as LayerBank, Satoshi Protocol, ZeroLend, and Bima, access to accurate price data, ensuring stable and secure smart contract operation.
Allora Network
Allora Network and Hemi integrate AI-powered price prediction for BTC and ETH price feeds, generated by Allora’s self-improving collective intelligence network. This gives developers tools to build for improved yield optimization, reduces the risk of volatility, crowdsources market signals, and supports the engineering of new protocols.
Relend Network
Relend Network and Hemi are collaborating with rUSDC-hemi, a stablecoin that offers deep liquidity and stability to the network’s Bitcoin-based DeFi applications. By relending liquidity from the Ethereum Mainnet, Relend Network offers a collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoin in rUSDC-hemi. This allows users to mint rUSDC-hemi by supplying USDC on the Ethereum Mainnet and bridging to Hemi, borrow rUSDC-hemi from local markets, redeem rUSDC-hemi at a 1:1 ratio for USDC, and use rUSDC-hemi for seamless liquidity across Hemi’s DeFi ecosystem.
Day One Launch Partners
Alongside our new partners, Hemi’s Day One protocols cover the full gamut of on-chain activities for a Bitcoin and Ethereum-aware Layer 2 network:
