While the entire crypto market has fallen an additional 4.3% overnight, AERGO crypto has blasted nearly 20%. It is going against the current market conditions in doing so.

AERGO is a hybrid blockchain platform built on top of Ethereum, and its recent price increase can be put down to the project migrating to a scalable Layer-2, named House Party Protocol (HPP).

AERGO Crypto Transition To HPP Happening In Stages Over The Next 12 Months

The reason for the AERGO crypto price surge can be put down to the project just recently launching the testnet for its upcoming transition to an AI-based Layer-2 protocol, named House Party Protocol.

AERGO has been around since late 2018. It’s a true OG in the crypto space, and this recent pivot to becoming an AI-backed L2, built on Arbitrum Nitro. The AERGO crypto token will be migrated to a new ‘HPP’ token by the Hong Kong-based firm.

Via the AERGO website, the team has launched a ‘HPP Live Roadmap’. It’s where interested users can view the live transition from AERGO to HPP, as it happens, over the next 12 months.

The reason behind the transition has been explained by the team as natural innovation within the crypto and emerging AI space. Per the Aergo website, the team states;

“AERGO was built with modularity in mind: public/private chain flexibility, middleware integration, and compatibility with enterprise infrastructure. But as the industry matures, modular systems alone aren’t enough. They often lead to fragmented user experiences, scattered liquidity, and weak ecosystem stickiness.

The transition from AERGO to House Party Protocol (HPP) is more than a rebrand — it’s a shift toward a full-stack, vertically integrated blockchain ecosystem that unifies infrastructure, applications, and AI-services.”
