Bridgeless Bitcoin Liquidity with Cycle + Hemi

Hemi and Cycle Network are working to make Bitcoin more usable in DeFi by connecting liquidity across chains without custodial bridges.

This collaboration unlocks new ways to earn Bitcoin rewards and simplifies cross-chain activity for builders and users.
