Heima (HEI) is a chain abstraction protocol developed for cross-chain applications. With its omni-account structure, it allows users to transact across different blockchains without switching networks or managing gas fees, delivering a CEX-like user experience in a decentralized world.
Core Architecture of Heima
The Heima ecosystem consists of four main components:
- Heima Layer-1 Network: Substrate-based, high-performance coordination layer.
- Omni-Account (Account Abstraction): Combines Web2 identities (email, passkey) with Web3 wallets.
- Omni-Executor (Chain Abstraction): Captures the user’s “intent” and securely executes transactions on the most optimal chain.
- Agent Hub: A permissionless marketplace for arbitrage, staking, and automated tasks.
Team and Founders
Heima originates from the Litentry Foundation, evolving from Litentry’s decentralized identity infrastructure. The core team consists of experienced blockchain engineers from the Polkadot/Substrate ecosystem.
Project Idea
Today’s DeFi landscape is complicated by:
- Switching between wallets
- Managing gas tokens
- Using cross-chain bridges
Heima removes these barriers with its intent-based architecture. Users simply state what they want to do, and Heima finds the best and most secure way to complete the transaction.
Partnerships and Ecosystem
- PumpX → Heima’s first DEX integration, enabling gas-free trading with a single account.
- Ethereum & BNB Chain → Multi-chain support.
- Substrate & Polkadot Parachain → Flexible and modular infrastructure.
How It Works
- The user specifies their intent (e.g., “Swap Token A for Token B”).
- Omni-Executor, backed by TEE and ZKP security, determines the optimal route.
- The transaction is recorded on Heima’s Layer-1 network for transparency.
Key Advantages of Heima
- Unified Account Control: Manages all assets and addresses across chains in one account.
- Simplified Transactions: Users only state their intent, the system handles execution.
- Universal Gas Management: Removes the need for ETH, BNB, or other gas tokens with Heima’s universal token.
- Unified Web3 Identity: Combines identity data across chains into a single profile.
Governance Model
- HEI token holders participate in governance.
- Similar to Polkadot: Proposal → Council → Referendum.
- A “technical committee” enables rapid responses to technical matters.
