Hemi: Running a Bitcoin Node Inside Ethereum Smart Contracts
An article by The Token Dispatch explores Hemi, a new protocol that embeds a full Bitcoin node inside the Ethereum Virtual Machine, enabling smart contracts to read Bitcoin’s state directly without bridges or oracles.

Hemi Stuck Bitcoin Inside Ethereum
Bitcoin is secure but limited. Ethereum is flexible but less secure. What if you just stuck one inside the other?
If smart contracts can directly read Bitcoin’s state without trusting anyone, you can build things that weren’t practical before. A lending protocol where collateral checks happen by querying Bitcoin’s UTXO set from inside Solidity.An exchange where the smart contract watches Bitcoin transactions in real time. No oracle, no bridge. The contract sees Bitcoin itself.
