The Rise of the Datapreneur

powered by Constellation Network

Goodbye http. Hello hgtp.

How will this work? Constellation provides an open Web3 framework that focuses on the interoperability of systems that play well with existing Web2 applications. Our technology is capable of tokenizing any data type on a massive scale, allowing anyone to own a piece of the web or build data-driven products and services.

Over the last five years, Constellation has developed an alternative blockchain network and Layer 0 infrastructure technology, called Hypergraph, that is faster, cheaper, and more secure than traditional Layer 2 blockchain infrastructures with stacked solutions, like Solana or Polygon. The Hypergraph provides an infinitely scalable framework for developers to build Layer 1 applications, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, that can actually run on top of our network with any data dependency. 

Just as the http protocol transfers data at the application layer on the Internet, our hgtp protocol (Hypergraph Transfer Protocol) transfers data at the infrastructure layer, supporting decentralized data-sharing around the world.

And hello USAF

Through our approach, we have secured multiple working contracts with the United States Air Force. This has not only validated our technology, but has allowed the U.S. government the ability to explore new use cases for blockchain technology, such as data assurance.

“After going through a forensic deep dive with the Air Force Research Laboratory, which gives the gold stamp of approval to projects that are either vetted, ready to be absorbed, or denied,” says Benjamin Diggles, Constellation’s Chief Revenue Officer. “I was really happy to see we were validated and approved as a secure and scalable blockchain that is DoD ready.” Diggles continues, “It doesn’t matter what company we work with in the commercial space, you’re not going to get a bigger stamp of approval than that. And this opens up the door to many, many opportunities.”

 
Constellation is the first vertically stacked Web3 ecosystem with the DoD-validated decentralized network infrastructure (Hypergraph) forming its foundation. In addition to the Hypergraph itself, we provide documentation and support for developers to build flexible Web3 applications on our protocol. We offer the Lattice Gateway where projects in our ecosystem can market their technology and cryptocurrency to our community. In Fall of 2021, we added a hardware division featuring the Dor Traffic Miner, or DTM, a hardware data validation node on our network that gathers data for buyers and compensates data providers with cryptocurrency rewards. 

DTMs and Datapreneurs

Good data not only fuels the advancement of technology, it empowers the world at large. Constellation’s mission is to provide tools and opportunities for datapreneurs everywhere to contribute honest data for a better future, starting with the ground truth—foot traffic.

Constellation’s DTM is a first-of-its-kind battery-operated hardware device that an individual can peel and stick in any doorway to gather foot traffic data and earn cryptocurrency rewards. Now in partnership with Helium, FourSquare, and Snowflake - individuals can deploy DTMs to collect data for interested buyers and get rewarded in our $DAG cryptocurrency.

“With the introduction of our DTM, now the crypto community can own a Dor device to collect foot traffic from any location and earn rewards,” says Michael Brand, CEO of Dor Technologies and Constellation’s COO, “Our play is about combining data from everyone’s devices anonymously and using it in aggregate to help individual retailers or other data buyers. As an independent third party, stores are actually happy to give us their data. They can’t see financial info about their competitors, but we can anonymize it to help them grow their businesses and insights without sacrificing their privacy.”

Every DTM purchaser receives an NFT you can register on our Lattice Gateway platform to start earning daily $DAG rewards right away. Additional bounties will be available when DTM devices ship later this year and in Q1 2023.

The Bigger Picture

Ben Jorgensen, Constellation’s CEO, adds “We view that anything can be a node on the Hypergraph, offering value and resources back to the network. This is an open platform agnostic to any ecosystem, data source, or project regardless of the chain the token is minted on. The Node Manager on our Lattice Gateway platform ties rewards and bounties to a designated data source. By connecting a data source such as a Twitter account, a health monitor watch API, Constellation Network’s Hypergraph nodes, or a Dor Traffic Miner, we create programmatic rewards tied to data feeds.”

How can you get involved?

Check out our website at ConstellationNetwork.io and follow us on Twitter @Conste11ation to find out more about our technology and our upcoming equity rounds (coming Q1 2023). Discover the companies building with our solutions. Consider purchasing one DTM or several to become a datapreneur and gather as much data and crypto rewards as possible. Join the Lattice Gateway at Lattice.is to utilize our node management platform and interact with ecosystem projects to participate in early token allocations and fund promising startups launching on the Hypergraph.
