BITCOIN GETS A BRAIN: HEMI PROTOCOL UNLEASHES SMART CONTRACT POWER WITH BitVM INTEGRATION @hemi_xyz 

Hemi Protocol is pushing Bitcoin far beyond its “digital gold” narrative by integrating BitVM into its Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM). 

This breakthrough means developers can now build Bitcoin native smart contracts without resorting to wrapped tokens, sidechains, or centralized workarounds. 

By treating Bitcoin not just as a store of value but as a security and data layer, Hemi opens the door to DeFi protocols like automated market makers (AMMs), lending platforms, and DAOs running directly on Bitcoin’s robust, decentralized foundation.

BitVM’s trust-minimized computation makes this possible, allowing complex logic and verification on Bitcoin while preserving its security guarantees.

 For DeFi, this is a game-changer: Bitcoin’s $1T+ liquidity can now fuel on-chain innovation without sacrificing trust or decentralization.
