hBitVM unlocks a ZK-secured, trust-minimized tunnel for moving BTC onto Hemi.
It's a 1-of-N trust model, where you can be the N to make it fully trustless for yourself.
hemiBTC stays redeemable 1:1 for native Bitcoin via the hBitVM ZK settlement system.
The same core tech gets remixed for other use cases, like verifying ZK proofs on Bitcoin and solving the superblock light-client emulation problem with a canonical BitVM2-style design.

Day 1 feedback has been awesome! chatting with great teams who want this yesterday 💯
One-click-loop is a simple UX but a huge undertaking behind the scenes. We built this SDK for two reasons:
- So many teams need this. Everyone shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel from scratch. And they should deliver an experience to their community that *just works*
- Odyssey is a small team tackling a big market. We don’t need or expect every single defi user to migrate their lives to Odyssey. This 100x’s our ability to meet users where they are.
Just use Odyssey 🫡🫡
Incase you didn’t already know, Loopr surfaces in-depth details across every strategy, just hover over the different details to get a full breakdown before opening a position!

If you make your first $150,000 in crypto
• Convert all to USDC
• Stake them on @OdysseyFi protocols
• Rack in $2000-9800 every month
• Move to Vietnam
This is what they won't teach you elsewhere
April was a terrible month for DeFi.
Despite that, Odyssey still added over $2.0M in TVL throughout April. This says a lot about where user demand is heading.
Even during rough conditions, people still want easier access to yield, looping, and accessible strategies.
Lagoon Finance now integrates seamlessly with Hemi, unlocking advanced vaults and new DeFi possibilities for hemiBTC.

On the KelpDAO LayerZero Exploit
Metronome is confirmed not impacted by the ongoing exploit of rsETH. No collateral or treasury operations are held in Kelp DAO rsETH or Aave WETH deposit. So far, the attacker has only exploited the rsETH token.
However, it is not yet determined if this attack is due to a vulnerability in Kelp DAO or LayerZero. Out of an abundance of caution, we have enacted emergency protocol to temporarily pause minting and bridging of msAssets.
As of now, users are not able to:
- Mint msAssets through Metronome Synth (via borrowing or swapping)
- Bridge msAssets across LayerZero
Users are still able to:
- Provide DEX LP as normal
- Access 3rd party msAsset markets (ie Morpho)
To underscore, Metronome is totally unaffected and operations will continue as normal as soon as the attack vector of the ongoing exploit has been confirmed.
Official comms to come soon.
