1. HPP Launch Is Coming Sooner Than Expected
The news that HPP is arriving sooner than expected is a major win for the community and the broader ecosystem. Initially scheduled for Q4, the timeline has now been accelerated to Q3 thanks to strong alignment across product, engineering, and strategic planning. This early delivery not only reflects the team’s execution capability but also signals growing momentum behind the shift from traditional infrastructure to AI-native intelligence.
There is no official launch date yet. As Ben explained, setting a launch date too early doesn’t make sense for a digital-native Web3 platform, which operates with more flexibility than traditional industries. But the key takeaway is clear: the team is ahead of plan, and what was once months away is now just around the corner. It’s a strong signal that HPP is gaining momentum and entering the final phase of readiness.
2. About Upcoming Partnerships
Community members asked when new partnerships would be announced. Ben clarified that there is no fixed announcement schedule. Instead, the team forms partnerships when they make sense for the product and support the long-term goals of HPP.
Rather than focusing on announcing partnerships regularly, the priority is working with the right partners at the right time. As HPP grows, more projects are expected to build on it, but announcements will come when they are ready.
3. What’s the Vision for HPP?
HPP is about bringing Aergo into the AI era. Ben shared that the team is evolving Aergo’s foundation in two key ways. First, HPP is being built to support AI-powered agents and decentralized logic, a major leap from traditional smart contracts. Second, the network encourages developers to build directly on the shared utility layer, instead of launching new Layer 2 tokens for every use case. This makes the token more useful, the ecosystem more cohesive, and the developer experience more scalable.
4. Robinhood and Arbitrum
One question asked whether Robinhood’s move to launch stock trading on Arbitrum has anything to do with Aergo or HPP. Ben confirmed there is no connection. While Aergo collaborates with Arbitrum, there is no direct involvement in that initiative.
5. Looking Ahead
Aergo is evolving quickly into HPP, and the momentum is building. Projects like ArenAI (AI-native trading platform) and Noösphere (off-chain coordination and agent SDKs) are actively in development. The HPP mainnet rollout is on track for Q3, and infrastructure partnerships with EigenLayer, Arbitrum, and Conduit are already forming the backbone of what HPP will become.
As these pieces come together, Aergo will no longer be seen as just an enterprise blockchain. It will stand alongside the growing category of AI-native crypto protocols. Ben summed it up clearly: “We’re not just participating in the AI conversation. We’re building the stack that makes it possible.”
