Introduction

A brief introduction of Heima - the leading Chain Abstraction solution

Heima: The Chain Abstraction Protocol for Cross-Chain DEX Trading

It is purpose-built to eliminate the friction, fragmentation, and complexity of interacting with multichain ecosystems. With one omni account, users can manage assets, interact with dApps, and execute transactions across all supported blockchains — without switching wallets, bridging manually, or worrying about native gas tokens.

Heima abstracts the complexity of cross-chain interactions through a four-part architecture: the Heima Layer 1 Network, Account Abstraction, Chain Abstraction, and Agent Hub. These components work together to create a modular, intent-centric automation ecosystem. Whether it’s cross-chain trading, staking, or arbitrage, Heima coordinates the execution logic seamlessly behind the scenes — making interactions feel as seamless as a centralized app, while remaining fully decentralized and non-custodial.

Think of Heima as an intelligent coordinator behind the scenes. When a user wants to perform an action (like swapping a token or making a payment), they simply express what they want to do, called an “intent.” Heima then figures out the best way to execute that request, no matter which chains are involved. It even handles gas payments automatically, allowing users to pay fees with any token (like USDT/USDC) — eliminating the need to maintain balances of native gas tokens.

This section introduces Heima and the HEI Token, the native utility token that powers the Heima ecosystem.
