@Hemi Bridges have always been the blockchain industry’s most vulnerable point. Hacks, frozen funds, and exploit drama it’s almost a ritual in DeFi. But Hemi changes the rules entirely with its Tunnels technology, which rethinks interoperability from the ground up.
Tunnels let users send native assets (like BTC or ETH) directly between chains, confirmed and secured via Bitcoin’s own blockchain through Hemi’s Proof-of-Proof consensus. Instead of trusting third-party bridges or synthetic tokens like wBTC, users maintain control of their original assets, validated by immutable cryptographic proofs.
This system blows away the two main pain points of traditional bridges: security and cost. With Tunnels, there’s no central custodian that could compromise funds, and fees are drastically reduced often less than one-third of what other bridges charge. Users pay only the native Bitcoin miner fee instead of multiple chain gas fees.
Recent upgrades even allow gas-free transfer options and on-chain routing optimization, saving time while maintaining full transparency. For anyone tired of paying double gas and worrying about centralization, Hemi’s Tunnels redefine what “trustless cross-chain” really means.
