Hemis is a decentralized blockchain that aims to provide a codeless and provable way of conducting dice rolls through transactions on the blockchain.
Development on the project began in 2020, with the express aim to create a blockchain service with an actual real world application. This aim was born from the myriad of blockchain projects that currently occupy the landscape. Most have no application whatsoever and either serve as an investment vehicle or are a downright scam.
Daniel Ames and Fabian Olesen assembled a team to take up the challenge.
An initial fork from PIVX was conducted in 2021 and development started with BlockMechanic as the lead developer. Progress was not easy but progress was made. Proof of concept builds were actively being tested by the team by the end of 2022 but then disaster struck. After a short illness, BlockMechanic suddenly passed away.
With him went his coding genius and his ideas on how to make an impossible concept work.
BlockMechanic's sudden passing was an immense blow to the project. Hemis did however get back up and persevered. After many meetings the team realized that it would not be able to recreate what BlockMechanic had envisioned. The team realized it would have to come up with its own vision of how to tackle the impossible problem it set out to solve.
In 2023 a second fork from PIVX was conducted and development began using these new concepts. Initial 'proof of concept' testing was successful and by the end of 2023 it was decided that the Hemis blockchain was ready to be made public.
The team collectively refused to accept venture capital or conduct an ICO in order to kickstart the chain. Instead it conducted an airdrop early 2024 in which 951 recepients from all over the globe received 388 tokens each with the specific instruction to stake them.
It worked. The blockchain was kickstarted and has been purring like a kitten ever since. Many milestones have been achieved in 2024 including the token becoming tradable on Xeggex.
The Hemis team hopes to add many more milestones in the future, and has the firm belief that it will.
