🌐 Overview

What is Capsule?

  • Capsule is an asset transfer protocol that allows anyone to batch and transfer multiple assets in a single package on Hemi.

  • Additionally, Capsule provides users and developers with advanced functionality like gasless transactions, re-routing/recalling, and configurable security.

💊 Onboarding Capsule

To streamline the process of obtaining required assets to jumpstart exploration in the Hemi ecosystem, the Hemi team has created a unique onboarding Capsule.

Why claim an onboarding Capsule?

  • Comprehensive Toolkit: Receive all the essential assets needed to begin building on the Hemi testnet in a single, easy-to-access package.

  • Ready-to-Use Resources: Each Capsule includes ETH (Sepolia), ETH (Hemi Sepolia), tBTC, and tHEMI, enabling you to seamlessly onboard to testnet in one click.

  • Gasless Transaction: Capsule is delivered through a gasless transaction, meaning you can explore and build without incurring transaction fees.

🎁 Your onboarding Capsule contains:

  • 0.2 ETH (Sepolia Ether):

    • Sepolia ether acquired from your Capsule can be tunneled (bridged) and used to interact with and build dApps on Hemi by paying transaction fees.

  • 0.2 ETH (Tunneled Sepolia Ether):

    • Hemi Sepolia ether comes ready to use when you claim your package, allowing you to immediately interact with and build dApps on Hemi by paying transaction fees.

  • 0.1 tBTC (Testnet Bitcoin):

    • tBTC is essential to run a PoP miner.

    • In the future, you will be able to tunnel your tBTC (and other Bitcoin assets) to Hemi for use in Bitcoin DeFi deployed on Hemi.

  • 1 tHEMI (Testnet Hemi):

    • tHEMI is the governance token for the Hemi Network's testnet phase.

    • tHEMI tokens are used for payouts to PoP miners as a means of acknowledging their contribution to the network's security and functionality. In the future, these incentives will expand to individuals running Sequencers, Publishers, and Challengers.

All users are eligible to claim an onboarding Capsule, limit one-per-user. To claim your onboarding Capsule, view our guide.

🥚 Easter Egg

If you happened to join Hemi testnet in the first month of participation and claimed your onboarding Capsule, you might have discovered an easter egg -- a limited "Air" Hemi Hatchling NFT!

  • These limited NFTs were only available through the onboarding Capsule. As of August 20, 2024, we have suspended the minting of these limited NFTs to provide the community with a special NFT honoring their initial participation in Hemi. Will there be more/different NFTs? Stay tuned.

  • Collect Other Hatchlings: Although we are no longer minting the limited Air Hemi Hatchling NFT, you can collect other elemental hatchlings and learn more about how it works.
