Hemi’s pitch is a high-throughput, low-latency environment where real-time apps can live without falling back to web2 crutches. That means sub-second confirmation that stays predictable when usage surges—and token utility that survives outside of marketing cycles.

— The L1 Mandate (If You Really Want Apps)

1) Deterministic finality under stress: median confirmation is not enough; variance destroys UX.

2) Fee markets that don’t “flap”: if fees swing wildly, devs design around the fabric and composability dies.

3) Resilience by design: partial service beats global stalls; fast, simple reorg handling beats hand-waving.

— HEMI’s Job (Beyond a Ticker)

$HEMI must read as productive capital:

• Stake that secures lanes users actually use; yield that ties to activity—not just emissions.

• Clear sinks/sources tied to real workflows (compute access, storage, prioritized lanes).

• Treasury policy that is rule-based: predictable buybacks/reserves beat discretionary moves every time.

— Builder Playbook on #Hemi

• Design for “bad-day determinism”: idempotent ops, explicit retries, bounded approvals by default.

• Use account abstraction to hide key-handling from users; UX is everyone’s problem.

• Instrument for truth: publish latency histograms, not just averages; prove stability as a feature.

— Risks Worth Naming

• Throughput bragging without app-layer concurrency: one complex app can throttle a “fast” chain.

• Token as parking: if staking doesn’t increase useful capacity or reliability, $HEMI ecomes dead capital.

• Governance lag: slow parameter changes turn small incidents into structural distrust.

— What Would Convince Me

• Gas stability under peak (not median).

• Validator yield stability net of costs.

• A visible loop from protocol revenue → reserves/yield that compounds safety.

Hemi wins if real-time feels boring: quick, predictable, documented. If @Hemi makes the chain behave like dependable infrastructure first and a narrative second, builders will show up for the economics, and users will stay for the invisibility of the plumbing.

Your move: do you underwrite $HEMI as productive capital tied to reliable capacity—or treat it as pure fuel and price in the risk premium? #Hemi
