Hemi Network 是一個由比特幣網路保護的促進以太坊智慧合約功能的第 2 層網絡，推出激勵測試網

Hemi Labs 表示，透過將比特幣和以太坊視為單一超級網路的組成部分，Hemi 提供了兩者的功能。

Former Bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik, who once worked closely with Satoshi Nakamoto, is now launching a Layer 2 network.

曾經與中本聰密切合作的前比特幣核心開發人員 Jeff Garzik 現在正在推出第 2 層網路。

On July 24, a development team co-founded by Garzik, called Hemi Labs, announced Hemi Network, a modular Layer 2 network that enables Ethereum smart contract functionality and is secured by the Bitcoin network.

7 月 24 日，Garzik 共同創立的開發團隊 Hemi Labs 宣布推出 Hemi Network，這是一個模組化的第 2 層網絡，可實現以太坊智慧合約功能，並由比特幣網路保護。

“By treating Bitcoin and Ethereum as components of a single supernetwork, Hemi provides the capabilities of both,” said Hemi Labs. “Attempts to integrate and scale Bitcoin and Ethereum have typically sought to address the problem within their respective communities, ultimately resulting in a fractured ecosystem.”

Hemi Labs 表示：“透過將比特幣和以太坊視為單一超級網路的組成部分，Hemi 提供了兩者的功能。” “整合和擴展比特幣和以太坊的嘗試通常試圖解決各自社區內的問題，最終導致生態系統支離破碎。”

Hemi’s incentivized testnet is now live, while the Hemi Network will be launched on mainnet during the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, which begins on July 25. Hemi will reportedly host decentralized finance and artificial intelligence applications.

Hemi 的激勵測試網現已上線，而 Hemi 網路將於 7 月 25 日在納許維爾舉行的比特幣 2024 會議期間在主網上啟動。

Hemi Labs was also co-founded by Maxwell Sanchez, the co-founder of VeriBlock, a blockchain security and software development firm.

Hemi Labs 也由區塊鏈安全和軟體開發公司 VeriBlock 的共同創辦人 Maxwell Sanchez 共同創立。

The chain introduces the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM), which integrates a full Bitcoin node within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) — the core smart contract engine of Ethereum.

該鏈引入了 Hemi 虛擬機器（hVM），它在以太坊虛擬機（EVM）（以太坊的核心智慧合約引擎）中整合了完整的比特幣節點。

HVM enables developers to create smart contracts that interact with the state of Bitcoin, unlocking Bitcoin-based DeFi applications such as staking, lending markets, and “democratized MEV marketplaces.” According to Hemi Labs, trustlessly launching such Bitcoin-based applications was previously “impractical or impossible.”

HVM 使開發人員能夠創建與比特幣狀態互動的智慧合約，解鎖基於比特幣的 DeFi 應用，例如質押、借貸市場和「民主化 MEV 市場」。根據 Hemi Labs 的說法，以信任方式啟動此類基於比特幣的應用程式以前是「不切實際或不可能的」。

The network leverages the Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus mechanism, pioneered by Sanchez, which allows Hemi to inherit its security from Bitcoin’s Proof of Work miners.

該網路利用桑切斯首創的證明證明（PoP）共識機制，該機制允許 Hemi 繼承比特幣工作量來證明礦工的安全性。

“Hemi inherits Bitcoin’s full security in a truly decentralized and permissionless manner, achieving better-than-Bitcoin finality, or ‘superfinality’ in just a few hours,” said Hemi Labs. “PoP’s modularity allows Hemi to extend this security efficiently to other blockchains.”

Hemi Labs 表示：“Hemi 以真正去中心化和無需許可的方式繼承了比特幣的全部安全性，在短短幾個小時內實現了優於比特幣的最終性，或‘超級最終性’。” “PoP 的模組化使 Hemi 能夠有效地將這種安全性擴展到其他區塊鏈。”

According to Hemi Labs, its Tunnels protocol enables cross-chain asset transfers without using conventional bridges.

根據 Hemi Labs 介紹，其 Tunnels 協議可以在不使用傳統橋樑的情況下實現跨鏈資產轉移。

Hemi’s launch comes amid a competitive landscape to bring DeFi functionality to Bitcoin.

Hemi 的推出正值將 DeFi 功能帶入比特幣的競爭格局。

As reported by DeFi Llama, Bitlayer has recently become the largest Bitcoin L2 by total value locked (TVL), with 15 protocols hosting $394.4 million. On July 23, Bitlayer announced the closing of an $11 million Series A funding round led by Franklin Templeton and ABCDE.

根據 DeFi Llama 報導，以總鎖定價值 (TVL) 計算，Bitlayer 最近已成為最大的比特幣 L2，擁有 15 個協議，託管價值 3.944 億美元。 7 月 23 日，Bitlayer 宣布完成由 Franklin Templeton 和 ABCDE 領投的 1,100 萬美元 A 輪融資。

Second place is held by Merlin with $306 million, followed by the sidechains Stacks with $211.3 million, and Rootstock sidechain with $178.5 million. Bouncebit, a Bitcoin staking protocol, also has a TVL of $318.6 million.

第二名是 Merlin，營收為 3.06 億美元，其次是側鏈 Stacks，營收為 2.113 億美元，Rootstock 側鍊為 1.785 億美元。 Bouncebit 是一種比特幣質押協議，其 TVL 也為 3.186 億美元。

Citrea, Bitfinity, Botanix, and Conflux are among the other Layer 2 projects that intend to launch EVM functionality on Bitcoin and are now all operational on testnet.

Citrea、Bitfinity、Botanix 和 Conflux 是其他打算在比特幣上推出 EVM 功能的第 2 層項目，目前均已在測試網上運行。
