Dear AERGO Community,
As we continue developing the House Party Protocol (HPP) testnet, our focus remains the same: building a scalable, AI-native Layer 2 network that can power next-generation on-chain infrastructure.
Earlier this year, following the approval of AIP-21, we announced plans to build HPP’s Ethereum Layer 2 on OP Stack. Since then, we’ve progressed into deeper development and analysis. Through this process, we’ve revisited our technical assumptions, stress-tested the economics, and re-evaluated how HPP can best scale and integrate into the broader ecosystem.
After careful consideration, we believe a strategic course correction is needed.
Today, we’re introducing AIP-22, a proposal to migrate HPP’s infrastructure roadmap to ARB Stack (@arbitrum) and realign HPP’s future with the Arbitrum ecosystem.
This is not just a launch decision but a long-term directional shift.
Why We’re Proposing the Shift to ARB Stack
- Performance Flexibility for AI-Driven Use Cases: ARB Stack offers greater control over block time and execution parameters, essential for data-heavy and AI-coordinated workloads. This flexibility allows us to tailor performance as needed, which is especially important as HPP grows beyond traditional smart contracts into intelligent agents and real-time data environments.
- Smarter Resource Management: ARB Stack allows for more efficient resource allocation across compute and storage, enabling us to scale HPP without incurring unnecessary overhead. It supports the kind of modular, elastic architecture needed for future-facing protocol design.
- Ecosystem Maturity & DeFi Synergy: Arbitrum’s L2 ecosystem is the most active in the space, particularly in DeFi, and aligns closely with HPP’s vision to become a backbone for data, liquidity, and AI infrastructure. Migrating to ARB Stack positions HPP within an already thriving ecosystem and deeply integrated into the broader Ethereum economy.
- Network Effects & Onboarding Opportunities: Migrating now allows HPP to tap into a much broader pool of users, developers, partners, and liquidity providers. We see Arbitrum as a key network for onboarding both Web3-native builders and data-first AI projects, which are central to HPP’s mission.
- Strategic Collaboration Potential: Our collaboration with the Arbitrum Foundation and Offchain Labs is already underway. This opens up technical alignment and potential access to grant programs, integration support, and co-marketing opportunities within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
AIP-22 Summary
To finalize this shift, we are bringing the decision back to the community through AIP-22. This proposal asks the community to vote on whether HPP should migrate its future development from OP Stack to ARB Stack as its official Layer 2 infrastructure.
- Proposal: Confirm ARB Stack (@arbitrum) as the official L2 infrastructure for HPP
- Reasoning: Greater technical flexibility, onboarding opportunities, and strong ecosystem alignment
- Voting Period: May 21st via Snapshot (https://snapshot.box/#/s:aergodao.eth)
- Eligibility: To participate in the vote, you must hold your $AERGO tokens before 5:00 PM KST / 8:00 AM UTC on May 21st.
We invite the community to participate in shaping the future of HPP.
Thank you,
