Seamless Bitcoin Data Access

Hemi and dRPC are working together to make Bitcoin data more accessible than ever. Developers can now access Hemi’s Bitcoin-native data layer through NodeCloud without managing their own nodes, bringing Bitcoin programmability directly into familiar workflows. This integration makes building cross-chain apps, DeFi protocols, and other Web3 experiences with Bitcoin seamless and efficient.

Boost Your Bitcoin Yield

Hemi transforms idle BTC into productive capital by offering competitive yields across lending, liquidity pools, fixed-rate products, and derivatives. With unique earning opportunities that go beyond what other EVM networks offer, BTC holders can maximize their returns through versatile DeFi strategies on Hemi. Plus, ongoing rewards from the Absinthe and Merkl campaigns boost earnings even further across the ecosystem.
