Abstract
Aergo is entering a new phase. After years of developing a blockchain platform tailored for enterprise use, the time has come to explore a broader, more inclusive path that positions it within the more expansive public blockchain space.
With this evolution comes a new identity: House Party Protocol (HPP). Alongside the new name is a renewed focus on real-world applications that bridge emerging technology with decentralized systems. The heart of this transformation lies in integrating four key projects: Aergo, Alpha Quark, Booost, and W3DB(VaaSBlock). These components come together to support new possibilities where systems can interact seamlessly and add real value across industries.
This proposal suggests an initial valuation of approximately $200 million for the House Party Protocol ecosystem to foster sustainable growth. Our team has identified several promising ideas and projects, anticipating that integrating these four initiatives may enhance their combined impact through improved collaboration, infrastructure development, and alignment toward common objectives.
Motivation
Since its launch in 2019, Aergo has achieved several significant milestones, from listings on major exchanges to long-term network resilience. However, the blockchain industry has rapidly evolved. By early 2024, it became clear to the team that Aergo’s trajectory was beginning to resemble many early projects that lost relevance or even disappeared.
Our initial focus was on entering the market through Aergo Enterprise, our private blockchain solution, as the regulatory environment at the time was more conducive to private chain deployments. Unlike many projects focused solely on on-chain activity, Aergo set out from the beginning to deliver real-world, enterprise-grade applications.
However, this approach inherently requires time, as it depends on the establishment of clear legislation and comprehensive legal frameworks. That’s precisely why we introduced the Layer 2 expansion and the HPP integration to take a more proactive stance. Rather than waiting passively for regulation to evolve in our favor, we are actively building infrastructure that can scale today, while remaining ready to bridge public and private ecosystems when the time is right.
In February 2024, the core team initiated a comprehensive review of the project’s positioning, vision, and long-term sustainability. The conclusion was clear: Aergo needed a bold, future-forward direction that would reinvigorate the community and align with emerging technological trends.
Among those trends, the convergence ofblockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as a compelling and timely opportunity. AI is no longer just a frontier technology but is reshaping industries, economies, and society. This proposal outlines a strategic pivot toposition the House Party Protocol as the go-to blockchain infrastructure for AI use cases.
Objective
This integration is designed to build a unified, end-to-end pipeline for AI data generation, validation, and application, serving as the foundational layer of the House Party Protocol ecosystem. The future of the blockchain market will be defined by multi-chain structures operating both L1 and L2 concurrently for enterprise stability and Web3 scalability. House Party Protocol aims to meet this future by building a dual-layer protocol: L1 for enterprise blockchain applications and L2 for on-chain and AI-specific workloads.
If AIP 21 passes and we move forward with the Layer 2 expansion, HPP’s upcoming network will be built on the OP Stack — with a long-term vision of achieving full compatibility with the Superchain, a collective of interoperable, EVM-based chains aligned around the principles of open and decentralized blockspace.
Layer 1 (current Aergo) will remain focused on enterprise-grade infrastructure, compliance, and secure service modules.
Layer 2 (EVM-based) will be optimized for next-gen use cases, including data tokenization, AI model hosting, and identity protocols.
This dual-layer architecture positions HPP to scale meaningfully while remaining deeply aligned with real-world applications and community values.
Specification
The post-integration strategy behind the House Party Protocol represents a new paradigm: a unified AI-blockchain data hub formed through the integration of AQT, Booost, W3DB (VaaSBlock) and Aergo.
(1) AI-Blockchain Data Validation & Smart Contracts (Aergo): Aergo enhances AI models by verifying training data quality and enabling decentralized execution through smart contracts.
Data hygiene tools for MLM(Medium-sized Language Models) and AI training
Lightweight AI model hosting for local training
Smart contract integration with AI logic for enterprise use cases
L1 for enterprise services; L2 for AI apps and DAOs (EVM-based)
(2) RWA & NFT Data Infrastructure (Alpha Quark): Alpha Quark enables real-world asset and NFT valuation systems, bridging traditional finance and Web3.
AI-driven asset valuation mechanisms
Blockchain-based transaction analysis and asset verification
Financialization of RWA/NFT markets through smart contract automation
(3) Human Data Collection & Synthetic Data Generation (Booost): Booost collects and refines real-world user data to create high-quality synthetic datasets for AI training. It supports personhood verification to combat Sybil attacks and AI-driven fraud, enabling secure identity authentication systems.
Human data pipeline
Curated datasets for AI model training
Proof of Personhood protocols for secure digital identities
(4) Data & AI Model Verification (W3DB): W3DB (VaaSBlock) introduces trust and certification protocols for enterprise and AI ecosystems.
VaaS (Verification-as-a-Service) for models, datasets, and enterprises
Integration into the decentralized AI marketplace
Identity and reliability certification for ecosystem participants
Tokenomics
Token: House Party Protocol (HPP)
As more projects build directly on HPP, its utility is expected to grow, especially with new initiatives bringing additional value to the ecosystem. HPP acts as the unified utility token of the House Party Protocol, enabling:
Gas & Fees: Payments for Layer 2 transactions, AI-powered executions, and API calls.
Staking & Delegation: Validators and data providers stake HPP to maintain network security and ensure data accuracy.
Governance: Token holders participate in governance decisions through token-weighted voting, determining the protocol upgrades.
Transactions: Facilitating the buying, selling, and licensing datasets, AI models, and synthetic data within the ecosystem.
House Party Protocol’s total token supply will vest over 80 months to help keep the supply tight. It is capped at 1.7 billion HPP tokens distributed across multiple vaults to ensure balanced stakeholder incentives and long-term sustainability.
This distribution model is designed to incentivize long-term commitment, align stakeholder interests, and drive sustained House Party Protocol ecosystem growth. All token allocations follow a strict linear vesting schedule to ensure market stability and protect investors’ interests.
Under the HPP’s proposed tokenomics model, 76% of newly issued HPP tokens will be allocated to community-focused initiatives. This ensures that the majority of value accrues to the network’s real contributors — users, developers, and ecosystem partners. These tokens will fund:
Engagement-based airdrops
Developer grants and innovation challenges
On-chain incentives for network adoption and activity
To uphold trust and long-term alignment, tokens allocated to internal teams will follow strict distribution protocols:
Held in secure vaults managed by a third-party custodian (with full details to be shared upon finalization of the agreement)
Released based on milestone-driven performance reviews
Subject to transparent vesting schedules to ensure accountability
Implementation Plan
The rollout of the House Party Protocol will proceed according to a phased roadmap, carefully structured to enable thorough testing, stabilization, and scalable deployment. A announcement will soon be shared with detailed information on the token swap process and bridge integration.
