Q1: What is DeFAI?
- A term describing projects that merge Decentralized Finance (DeFi) with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Currently used to label this emerging segment in Web3. Similar to “DeSci” (Decentralized Science).
- Examples: AI-driven trading bots integrated with DEXs.
Q2: When will the HPP website and mainnet go live?
- Mainnet Launch: Originally planned for Q4, now targeted for Q3 2025 (ahead of schedule). Progress is on track; nearing the end of the planned window.
- Website Launch: Advanced stage — wireframes complete, style guide implemented, interactive elements reviewed. Branding draws from CRT distortion and terminal-style visuals, reflecting the “early era” feel of AI. Likely to launch before the mainnet.
Note: The
is already live with content for testnets and the private mainnet.
Q3: When will AIP-21 rewards be distributed?
- Airdrop Start: After mainnet launch.
- Vesting: Rewards have a long vesting period.
- Expected Timing: Likely this quarter, soon after mainnet goes live.
Q4: Are the AIP-21 swap ratios still accurate?
- Yes. Ratios were set at the time of the AIP-21 vote based on agreed project valuations. These remain locked and will not change.
Q5: Do holders need to take action for the swap?
- If on Exchanges: Swaps may be automatic if the exchange supports it.
- If Off-Exchange: May require using a bridge or manual process.
General Guidance: Follow official channels for detailed instructions.
- Expect a generous grace period for swapping.
- Token migrations are becoming more common — always track official updates for your holdings.
Q6: How is HPP an upgrade to the existing Layer 1?
- AI Integration: Aergo L1 (current mainnet) will gain the AI technologies being developed for HPP (e.g., off-chain computation, verifiable AI interaction).
- Enterprise Use: Aergo remains the enterprise/private chain option, with forks for specific deployments (e.g., public sector).
- Dual-Layer Advantage: HPP Mainnet enables easier integration with exchanges, AI-native dApps, and multiple blockchains without L1 modifications.
Q7: Community concern about low trading volume and price movement only on news
- Price changes are not always tied to news; many announcements have no lasting effect, and derivatives can even push prices down.
- Volume is important as a sign of utility, but isolated charts can mislead; always compare them with broader market trends.
Q8: Will HPP mainnet launch in late Q3 or early Q4?
- Confirmed: Target remains end of Q3 2025.
- Airdrop: Will start after mainnet launch, following the vesting schedule.
