The Hemi Network Whitepaper
TL;DR — A modular protocol proposing to make Bitcoin state readable from an EVM environment.
v1.6, 29 August 2023. “A modular protocol for superior scaling, security, and interoperability with Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
The technical proposition is to let smart contracts read Bitcoin state directly rather than relying on wrapped assets or a trusted bridge — bridges having been the single largest source of losses in crypto.
⚠️ A project whitepaper: a design document and a fundraising document at once. Filed as a specimen of the genre.
