Q: When is the HPP Mainnet launching? The launch is happening very soon. While we initially targeted Q4, development has moved ahead of schedule. The private mainnet is up and running with select builders. We’re not sharing an exact date to avoid setting unrealistic expectations, but all signs point to a Q3 public launch.
Q: Will HPP offer grants or early-stage builder incentives? We’re not launching a traditional grants program. Instead, we’re supporting builders through milestone-based assistance. If a project aligns with HPP’s long-term vision (especially in AI and Web3), we’re open to providing structured support. The goal is to back teams that deliver, not just promise.
Q: Are there any big partnerships coming? Yes, but “partnership” can mean many things. Rather than vague announcements, we encourage more specific questions — are you asking about integrations, infrastructure, exchanges, or something else? We’re engaged in multiple partnership conversations, but we prefer to discuss them in the right context.
Q: Are DevTools available for developers building on HPP? Yes. You can already access early DevTools on
, including resources for agent deployment, off-chain reasoning, and microtransaction support. More SDKs and templates are being developed to make HPP more attractive to AI-native builders.
Q: How will gas fees compare to Polygon or Arbitrum? We’ll provide more details closer to the public launch. Right now, we’re focused on minimizing friction for high-frequency, micro-value transactions between agents. Fee structure comparisons will become more concrete as the network matures.
Q: What’s happening with Aergo staking? Some users didn’t receive expected rewards. Staking is active, and rewards are being distributed as outlined in the documentation. We encourage everyone to carefully review the staking terms. If expectations weren’t met, it’s often due to a misunderstanding of the reward structure. We’ll share the docs again for clarity.
Q: Should we be worried about AI taking jobs? Yes, especially if people don’t adapt. AI will reduce the need for human labor in many sectors, including skilled ones. But those who embrace AI tools and integrate them into their work will remain valuable. The best way to stay ahead is to become the AI expert in your field and lead the change rather than resist it.
Q: How are you already adapting to AI at VaaSBlock and HPP? We’ve moved away from traditional hiring plans. Instead, we operate on a “solutions-first” mindset. For any task or challenge, we ask if AI can solve it before assigning it to a person. When we do bring people in, it’s often for specialized, time-bound work. This has helped us remain lean and adaptable in a rapidly changing environment.
Q: Final thoughts from this session? HPP is more than a new chain. It’s the infrastructure layer for intelligent, decentralized coordination. From agent-driven services to modular AI tools, we’re building a future where applications don’t just run, they think, reason, and transact in real time. The public mainnet is coming soon, and we can’t wait to see what the community builds next.
