January is about getting the rollout clean, predictable, and ready to scale. Here’s what’s moving, what’s next, and what you should prep for.
1. Staking Portal: Real Soon. Real Yields.
The HPP Staking Portal is coming soon. Built to make staking simpler, while introducing a structured reward system designed for long-term participants.
1) Prerequisites
To stake, you’ll need:
- HPP Mainnet tokens (available on exchanges),
- ETH on HPP Mainnet for gas fees (likely provided via our official faucet),
- A supported wallet: MetaMask or WalletConnect
If you currently hold legacy assets (AERGO / AQT), you’ll need to complete the migration flow so you end up with HPP Mainnet before staking.
2) Pre-registration (strongly recommended)
There will be a pre-registration period, and it’s the key step if you want access to the highest possible yields.
3) Season-based rewards
HPP staking is structured around season-based rewards, designed to reward long-term commitment and ongoing participation rather than one-time deposits. Details for each season will be announced before the start of each season.
2. HPP Genesis Airdrop (AIP-21) : Reminder + Timeline Update
Total allocation: 17,000,000 HPP Eligible users: AIP-21 voters Vesting: 24 months to support long-term alignment
1) Vesting start
Vesting begins in December 2025, aligned with HPP’s centralized exchange listing. This start point ensures vesting begins when holders have broad access to liquidity and practical tradability, alongside transparent price discovery and reliable settlement rails.
2) Claim window
2025–12–01 UTC to 2027–12–01 UTC
3) How claiming works
When claims open, you can claim the vested amount accumulated to date, calculated from December 2025, based on the vesting schedule.
- [Step 1] Check eligibility: Eligibility checks will be available on the portal shortly after the HPP Staking Portal launches.
- [Step 2] Claim opens: Claims will open once global listings and liquidity are secured.
- [Step 3] Claim through the portal: All claims will be processed via the HPP Staking Portal.
- [Bonus] Stake your claim for extra rewards: Participants who choose to stake their claimed HPP directly through the portal will receive an additional bonus. Details will be announced soon.
3. Infrastructure Launches in Motion
Crypto loves the visible parts like new apps, narratives, tokens, and incentives. But real scale starts with foundations that simply work. That’s why we’re putting major energy into three infrastructure-grade launches:
- HPP Multisig Wallet (built on Safe Wallet): A trusted, battle-tested multisig standard adapted into HPP’s stack, designed for secure treasury operations, custody, and programmable account workflows that serious ecosystems depend on.
- Noosphere v2: A verifiable execution layer that helps HPP dapps and contracts safely rely on off-chain reasoning.
- HPP Besu Bridge (enterprise interoperability): What Aergo previously supported through EVM-compatibility will be offered as EVM-native infrastructure on HPP, enabling EVM-native execution across enterprise and public stacks.
4. HPP Node v3.9.5 Release
HPP Node v3.9.5 is now released. This update focuses on making node setup and day-to-day operations faster and simpler for operators.
What’s new
- New init command to streamline first-time setup:
- helps configure your L1 RPC
- automatically downloads snapshots
- validates key files and configs
- New status command for quick node health checks
- Documentation improvements
- A fix for a mainnet configuration value
Final Notes: Current Accurate Circulating Supply
CoinMarketCap currently lists 8.99M HPP as circulating based on the token structure. This figure assumes a fully swapped state where all legacy AERGO/AQT has already been converted into HPP on L2.
In reality, legacy tokens and HPP Mainnet (L2-issued) tokens currently coexist. As a result, the exchange-tradable circulating supply is much lower because it includes only tokens that:
- have completed the instance swap, and
- are minted/issued on HPP Mainnet (the version traded on exchanges)
