Enabling Cross-Chain Workflows on @hemi_xyz
In addition to Bitcoin awareness, the hVM maintains awareness of Ethereum by processing Ethereum transactions that perform cross-network calls to Hemi during the L2 block derivation process.
The hVM can also initiate outgoing calls to contracts on Ethereum.
As a result, smart contracts on Hemi can perform complex multi-chain workflows. For example, a smart contract could observe the confirmation of a specific transaction on Bitcoin and send a cross-chain call to a contract running on Ethereum.
Or a smart contract on Ethereum could send a cross-chain message to trigger a smart contract on Hemi to perform a particular action based on Bitcoin state.
When designing cross-chain applications, the state challenge time for settlement of Hemi-to Ethereum cross-chain calls, along with the hVM's natural delay in processing Bitcoin blocks must be considered.
However, Hemi's ability to observe and interact with both chains provides a powerful foundation for decentralised applications that demand secure and flexible cross-chain workflows.
