As part of our commitment to weekly AMAs, we’re continuing to update the community on progress, direction, and your top questions. This session focused on the upcoming vote, our Layer 2 (L2) direction, ongoing developments around HPP, and a few fun curveball topics from the community.
1. AIP-22 Vote: Building on Arbitrum
This week’s big announcement was the launch of a Snapshot-based community vote, this time to decide whether Arbitrum will be the foundation for our Layer 2.
Why Arbitrum? Ben explained the rationale behind this proposed direction:
- High transaction volume and network activity
- A mature ecosystem with strong infrastructure support
- Backing from the Arbitrum Foundation — including marketing and dev coordination
- A thriving developer and user community
“We put Arbitrum through rigorous due diligence and compared it with other options. The traction and support were simply unmatched.”
🗓️ Voting Details:
- Make sure your Aergo tokens are in a Snapshot-compatible wallet before May 21
- The outcome will determine whether Arbitrum becomes the base for Aergo’s new Layer 2
The team supports this direction, but it’s ultimately the community’s decision.
2. HPP: What’s Happening Now?
We also touched on House Party Protocol (HPP), which marks the public blockchain’s shift into a modern, AI-first architecture.
The previous vote confirmed:
- A token contract upgrade
- A new, forward-looking token model
- Expand into L2
Ben emphasized that:
- The new token(House Party Protocol) will come with a new ticker
- A 1:1 token swap will take place in late 2025
- The Living Roadmap (a public Google Sheet) is available for real-time progress tracking
“HPP isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a major leap forward — aligning us with the future of decentralized AI and intelligent data infrastructure.”
3. What About Aergo’s Enterprise Clients?
There was a common question: “Does this mean the enterprise side of Aergo is shutting down?”
The answer is a clear no.
- The Aergo Enterprise Team continues operating
- Government and enterprise clients remain unaffected
- The changes (vote, token, HPP) are all focused on the public chain only
“Enterprise systems keep running exactly as expected. We’re evolving the public chain — not touching enterprise infrastructure.”
4. Are We Still Focused on Korea?
While Aergo has strong roots and visibility in Korea, being listed on all licensed Korean exchanges, the project has always had a global focus.
Ben clarified:
- Aergo is listed on major global platforms like Coinbase and Crypto.com
- There’s no “Korea-only” strategy — just strong local trading activity
- Future marketing will work to further globalize the brand
“We’re working hard to break the ‘Korean project’ label. Our reach and ambition are global.”
5. AI + Blockchain in Agriculture? Let’s Talk
A surprise community question asked about the role of AI and blockchain in farming and agriculture. Here’s what Ben had to say:
- AI can monitor crops and livestock 24/7, reducing labor costs and improving food quality
- Blockchain enables traceable supply chains, storing data like pesticide usage, logistics, and more
- Together, they can optimize farming and distribution with precision
- It’s an underexplored but high-potential use case for AI + Web3.
6. Listings: Any News?
Inevitably, someone asked about Binance spot listings. Here’s the update:
- Token listings are controlled by exchanges, not projects
- Paying for listings often leads to bad outcomes for builders, teams, and other stakeholders
- Aergo is already re-listed on Binance Futures, as well as many spot markets globally
- No new listing news at this time
“We want to be on every trusted platform — but we don’t control listing decisions. No promises, no paid shortcuts.”
✅ Final Words
We’re excited about what’s ahead, and your participation makes it all possible. This vote on Arbitrum is a major decision point. It represents a potential new layer of scalability, community alignment, and long-term growth.
Remember: Get your tokens ready for Snapshot by May 21. Check the Living Roadmap anytime to follow our development progress.
