As a crypto engineer raised in Brooklyn with a foot in both Bitcoin’s security and Ethereum’s smart contracts, I’ve watched Hemi emerge not as another L2 hype—but as the quiet architect of cross-chain truth. With hVM embedding Bitcoin nodes into EVM, PoP consensus anchoring state to BTC, and $150M backing from Binance & Breyer Capital, it’s not just interoperability—it’s infrastructure reimagined. No fluff. No tokenomics theater. Just cold, elegant math working at scale.
