Q: What can we expect once the HPP Mainnet goes live, especially with partners like Eigenlayer and Arbitrum? The Mainnet is launching very soon. Boost will likely be the first project to go live on it. The vision is for HPP to become the preferred chain for AI-native projects — fast, scalable, and developer-friendly. Our partnerships with Eigenlayer, Arbitrum, and others are focused on ensuring high throughput and robust infrastructure.

Q: Is RWA something HPP is actively targeting? Absolutely yes. As long as projects are legally compliant, HPP is open to supporting RWA use cases. We’re not putting artificial limits on what can be built — RWA is welcome if it fits within the framework.

Q: How will HPP impact enterprise chains and existing apps? HPP is a public Layer 2 chain, which differs from Aergo’s earlier enterprise deployments. We’re building dev tools and working on integrations to make it easy for dApps to adopt HPP. The goal is to bring real usage into the ecosystem, not just testnet demos.

Q: How does HPP see the relationship between AI and blockchain? We’re the infrastructure layer, not the app itself. Think of us like Microsoft Word — we’re not the author, but we empower the builder. We want HPP to be the default chain AI developers turn to when they need trust, traceability, and composability.

Q: Are you collaborating with top AI players or building your own stack? Ideally both. We’re open to working with leading AI teams and also building internal tools and research capacity. At the end of the day, we want HPP to be on the shortlist when someone serious is looking to deploy AI on-chain.

Q: Could HPP be used as a Plan B during a global black swan financial event? No, that’s not part of the discussion. We’re not in talks with banks or central authorities for that sort of thing, and we doubt most crypto projects are. It’s not what we’re focused on building.

Q: What do you think about the rise of “growth companions” (virtual AI friends)? Technically? Not scary — they’re just better chatbots with memory. Socially? It’s more complex. There are risks (e.g. loneliness, mental health, even tragedy), but also huge potential for positive impact, especially in mental health and human connection. History shows that society tends to fear new tech at first — like it did with organ transplants — but those fears can give way to lasting good.

Q: Is there a direct collaboration between Blocko and Upleat on the Aergo mainnet? Blocko built Aergo, but their stablecoin work with Upleat is separate from the public HPP Mainnet. They often fork Aergo tech for custom enterprise deployments, and we don’t expect this to run on our public chain. Also, we stay out of those talks to avoid conflicts of interest.

Q: How does Aergo see itself contributing to or differentiating from the broader AI x crypto movement, especially with the rise of ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) initiatives?

While we respect and support the ambition behind ASI, Aergo(HPP) is focused on a different layer of the stack. Rather than aiming to build superintelligence, we are designing the infrastructure layer that can be put into use in real life based on verifiable, decentralized coordination between AI agents, users, and protocols. Our focus is on practical, scalable systems that unlock near-term value. In short, we’re not just theorizing about AI’s role in the future. We’re shipping the infrastructure to support verifiable and economically active AI systems.

Final Wrap-Up

  • The HPP Mainnet is nearly here. It will launch as a public mainnet once preparations are complete. For more details, check out the announcement (https://x.com/aergo_io/status/1946087643269521531)
  • We’re building an AI-first, developer-ready L2 — and want to be the chain that real builders choose.
  • Community feedback continues to shape our direction.
