HEMI - The Trade-Off between Scale and Security
HEMI takes on the challenge of scaling, providing interoperability and security by inheriting the same level of security as Bitcoin through its Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus, while enabling large-scale execution through its L2 system. There are trade-offs as finality may be slower than on standalone L1's, and tooling is still early, but the benefit is a programmable and more scalable system for Bitcoin that doesn't exist in isolation. As adoption of the ecosystem matures, HEMI has the potential to change how we view Bitcoin's utility in Web3 to beyond simply The Oldest chain
