HPP AIP 21: Building a Value-Aligned Layer 2 Ecosystem Through Governance and Incentives

https://twitter.com/aergo_io/status/1907719761439633597

AIP-21 Voting Update To ensure fair participation & higher turnout, we’ve updated the schedule: Apr 7 (17:00 KST) – Apr 9 (17:00 KST). Move your tokens to a supported wallet before 16:00 KST on Apr 7 to be eligible!

As the voting date for AIP 21 approaches, we would like to provide an important update. In response to community feedback, we’re introducing a governance participation incentive designed to recognize/reward active contributors – along with further details on the HPP tokenomics and layer structure.

1. AIP 21: Participation Incentive

To encourage widespread participation in AIP 21, we are introducing a structured airdrop for all voters.

🔹 Program Details:

  • Total Allocation: 17,000,000 HPP (1% of the total supply)
  • Eligibility: All wallets that participate in the AIP 21 vote

🔹 Reward Calculation:

Reward = Total Pool × (Individual Voting Power ÷ Total Voting Power)

🔹 Distribution Timeline:

  • Rewards will vest over 24 months to promote long-term alignment
  • Airdrop claiming will begin after the official HPP token launch; full details to follow

2. HPP Tokenomics: Community-First by Design

(1) Community-Aligned Token Distribution

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

(2) Transparent & Accountable Team Allocation

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

3. HPP EVM-Layer 2 on the OP Stack

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.

(1) Services to Be Continued in Development

The following services on the AERGO Mainnet (Layer 1) will continue to be maintained and updated:

  • Aergoscan
  • Aergo Connect
  • Aergo Bridge (will be merged and made interoperable with the upcoming HPP Layer 2 network)

(2) New Services Under Development

The following services will be released upon the successful passage of AIP 21:

[HPP Testnet]

  • HPP Scan: Block explorer for the HPP Testnet
  • Metamask Integration: Wallet access via Metamask
  • HPP Bridge (ETH Sepolia ↔ HPP Testnet)

[HPP Mainnet]

  • HPP Scan: Full-featured mainnet explorer
  • Metamask Support
  • Bridge 1: Asset transfer from L1 (AERGO) → L2 (HPP)
  • Bridge 2: Superchain-compatible bridge (e.g., Optimism Bridge)
  • AI MVP: Rollout of the first AI-powered application on HPP Layer 2

A Community-Led Future Starts Now

With the launch of AIP-21, we’re empowering our community to make a defining choice — not just about governance mechanics, but about the values and long-term direction of the HPP ecosystem. We want to be clear: our goal is NOT to steer the vote in any particular direction, but to maximize participation so that the outcome genuinely reflects the will and vision of the community. As always, your voice and your vote will help shape what HPP becomes next.
