# Hemi Finality: Secured by Bitcoin

Finality on Hemi is not theoretical — it is enforced by Bitcoin.  
Each state change is anchored with proof of work and locked in after 9 confirmations, making it nearly impossible to reverse without massive coordination and energy.

> Most chains promise finality. Hemi proves it.  
>  
> Every state change is anchored to Bitcoin. After 9 confirmations, reversing it would require a historic level of coordination and computational power.

> This isn’t theoretical. It’s enforced by proof-of-work.

# Community Corner: New NFTs, Upcoming Tournaments & More

Lots of big things are happening—here’s a quick update.

Co-founder [Jeff Garzik](https://x.com/jgarzik?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=alliance-nfts-contests-vegas-vibes) launched a new NFT in the [ecosystem projects channel](https://discord.gg/hemixyz?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=alliance-nfts-contests-vegas-vibes) on Discord:

“Alert! Testing a new idea. There may be a ‘Hemi Club’ coming soon and we want community input. As part of this, here is a test NFT just for fun:  
[https://explorer.hemi.xyz/token/0x23FA7df659EA2D26D18F0518a4e03E1F1294550D](https://explorer.hemi.xyz/token/0x23FA7df659EA2D26D18F0518a4e03E1F1294550D?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=alliance-nfts-contests-vegas-vibes)

Mouse Club is a for-fun experiment to test the Hemi Club NFT concept. To join Mouse Club and help test, you can mint the NFT under one of three conditions:

1. Hold a Foom NFT for a free mint
2. Pay 6,000 HAIR tokens
3. Pay 200 MAX tokens

This is a hackers-only release. The web UI for Mouse Club will drop in about 48 hours.

**Here are the minting instructions:**  
Option zero: If you hold a FOOM NFT, you get a free mint. Go to[ https://explorer.hemi.xyz/address/0x23FA7df659EA2D26D18F0518a4e03E1F1294550D?tab=write\_contract](https://explorer.hemi.xyz/address/0x23FA7df659EA2D26D18F0518a4e03E1F1294550D?tab=write%5Fcontract&utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=alliance-nfts-contests-vegas-vibes), enter moduleIdx 0, and mint.

Option one: Pay with 6,000 HAIR.

1. Approve the BurnERC20 module 0x5eD7a92d7607Da1fdDE51a984B95df50D1C15439 to spend 6000000000000000000000 HAIR.
2. Go to the same link above, enter moduleIdx 1, and mint.

Option two: Pay with 200 MAX.

1. Approve the BurnERC20 module 0x42e2811CEEb344C8D12a43c652096d9eA6900D9f to spend 100000000000000000000 MAX.
2. Go to the same link above, enter moduleIdx 2, and mint.

Again, this is a *test NFT* and just for fun.
