Intrana: Revolutionizing Finance Through Blockchain Tokenization

cgstivers@gmail.com (Charlie Stivers ) — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 16:20:56 GMT

Freedom and Sovereignty Through Tokenization

At the heart of Intrana’s mission is a simple yet profound idea: “FREEDOM - Intrana is a platform that allows for chain-agnostic tokenization of traditional financial assets,” Welty explained. By eliminating intermediaries like banks and insurance companies, Intrana empowers individuals with direct control over their assets.

“It’s about creating a stock market without brokers, financial advisory without advisory firms, or banking without banks,” Welty added.

This revolutionary peer-to-peer transaction capability ensures “people not to have any of their assets seized ever again.” This vision is particularly relevant in a world where financial censorship is a growing concern. As Charlie Stivers, the interviewer, pointed out, traditional systems often block access to funds arbitrarily, creating barriers for industries like cannabis and even everyday transactions. Intrana’s solution directly addresses this issue, empowering users to regain control of their financial interactions.

Intrana Corporation, co-founded by Court Welty (President), Blake Burns (Chief Product Officer) and Hannah Cade (Chief Content Officer), is pioneering a transformative approach to finance by leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize traditional assets. In an exclusive interview, they shared insights into their platform's mission, capabilities, and the groundbreaking impact it aims to have on the financial landscape.

Charlie met the Intrana team at the North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas, TX, hosted by the Texas Blockchain Council . Let's jump into how Intrana is innovating in the blockchain industry.

Chain-Agnostic Technology and Feeless Transactions

Intrana’s platform stands out due to its collaboration with Constellation Network. This partnership enables seamless bridging of different blockchains, making tokenization accessible and secure. “It makes it very easy by using Constellation Network technology and then our proprietary technology to provide the bridging in a feeless nature,” Welty explained.

The platform’s feeless transactions are a game-changer. “Imagine peer-to-peer transactions in a dollar sense but you’re not paying a Venmo or PayPal transaction fee,” Welty said. “The way that we do it with Constellation - it’s fee-less as long as it stays within that metagraph or within metagraphs on that global layer zero.” This eliminates significant costs for users and businesses, enabling a more streamlined and cost-effective financial ecosystem.

The collaboration with Constellation Network also introduces scalability and security through Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology. “The validation of our data is 100% immutable and quantum-resistant,” Welty noted, emphasizing the robustness of their technological foundation.

Democratizing Investment Opportunities

Intrana aims to level the financial playing field by breaking down barriers to investment. Tokenization allows for fractional ownership of traditionally high-entry-cost assets, like multi-family housing. Welty illustrated: “If we have broken down that multi-family into 10,000 units, and each one's worth a thousand dollars, we can divide that up in a way that allows people with smaller budgets to engage at the same level as major players like BlackRock.”

This approach fosters financial inclusion, enabling everyday investors to participate in opportunities previously reserved for the wealthy. By providing tools for fractionalized ownership, Intrana opens the door for smaller investors to access real estate, stocks, and other high-value assets without the need for significant capital.

Automated Compliance and Enhanced Security

Compliance is a cornerstone of Intrana’s platform. With jurisdictional profiles and pre-programmed permissions, the platform ensures adherence to global regulations. “It allows for us to make sure that MiCA , VARA , SEC, and CFTC guidelines are complied with,” said Welty. “We allow that sovereign custody but we know who you are and what you're transferring.”

This blend of decentralization and regulatory compliance ensures users’ assets are both secure and legally compliant. Automated compliance features prevent unauthorized transactions, adding another layer of security and trust for users.

Targeted Industries and Real-World Use Cases

Intrana’s vision extends beyond finance. They see solutions in industries like healthcare and agriculture, leveraging IoT and mesh networks for innovative applications. For instance, he explained how you can track Wagyu beef cattle from source to delivery using subdermal implants, all validated by Constellation Network. This capability ensures transparency and reliability across the supply chain.

Real estate is another application. Intrana’s platform is positioned to disrupt the market by enabling tokenized ownership of multifamily dwellings within existing regulatory frameworks. “Tokenization is not something that should be taken lightly,” Welty emphasized, noting that Intrana adheres strictly to established rules and regulations. These use cases demonstrate the platform’s versatility and potential to revolutionize multiple sectors.

Redefining Value in the Blockchain Space

Welty is candid about the limitations of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as a medium of exchange due to their volatility. Instead, Intrana aims to “express a sovereign US Dollar on the blockchain” in collaboration with the National DigiFoundry . “We don’t want to make a stable-coin; we just want to express a Dollar on-chain,” he clarified. This model ensures that on-chain dollars are “actually worth something,” providing a stable metric of value for users. By creating a chain-agnostic representation of the US Dollar, Intrana offers a reliable medium of exchange that bridges the gap between traditional and decentralized finance.

The highlight of the interview was the eye-popping institutions involved in Intrana’s innovation. Welty shared, “We lead the work group for the tokenization of traditional financial products. So within that, we have IBM, Microsoft, U.S. Treasury, Constellation Network, National Science Foundation, International Space Station, North American Laboratory, quite a few heavy hitters, and we're working on a model to express the US Dollar directly from the Treasury in a chain agnostic manner and in a sovereign manner.”

Bridging Traditional and Tokenized Finance

Intrana’s long-term vision is to bridge traditional financial systems with tokenized assets seamlessly. “[Customers] can come select what asset and it will command the bank to send that data to their wallet,” Welty shared. “They can choose when they interact with the system as opposed to being exposed to it the entire time.” This integration simplifies user interactions with diverse asset classes while ensuring compliance and security. Furthermore, Intrana’s platform supports automated dividend distributions, making financial management more transparent and efficient. “It can be automated... There’s a lot more transparency from it and a lot less risk of corruption,” Welty noted. Additionally, Intrana is developing solutions for automated income streams, such as quarterly dividends, that remove the need for manual processing. These automated systems enhance transparency and reduce administrative costs, benefiting both investors and asset holders.

The Role of Constellation Network

Intrana’s decision to build on Constellation Network was strategic. “The reason we chose them is because their technology is inherently trusted by the United States government,” Welty explained. Constellation’s DAG-based technology allows for horizontal scalability and quantum-resistant data validation, making it an ideal partner for Intrana’s ambitious goals. By leveraging Constellation’s infrastructure, Intrana ensures that its platform is secure, scalable, and compliant with government standards. This partnership highlights the importance of trust and reliability in blockchain development.

A Vision for the Future

As blockchain technology evolves, Intrana’s commitment to creating value for society remains steadfast. “Meme coin season is going to die out. There’s going to be true business use cases,” Welty predicted. “The people that provide value to society are going to end up winning this next Bull Run.” With a focus on democratizing finance, enabling seamless tokenization, and fostering real-world applications, Intrana is poised to redefine the financial landscape and empower individuals in unprecedented ways. As Welty concluded, “This is about building for the people, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in a more equitable financial future.”

Rebuilding The Glory of the Nation: How the New Trump Administration Has the Ability to Rebuild the Crypto Economy in the United States

Rebuilding The Glory of the Nation: How the New Trump Administration Has the Ability to Rebuild the Crypto Economy in the United States which Burned under the Biden Regime.

By Ryan Ashe

Shockwaves moved through the United States early Wednesday morning as Cambria County Pennsylvania turned in its 58,719 votes-18,371 for Kamala Harris and 39,879 for Donald Trump (468 for various third-party candidates). This county which used to be home to some of the strongest blue union votes in the country had enough rural and small town votes that it put the 19 electoral votes for Pennsylvania out of the hands of Kamala Harris as she could no longer count on the votes in Philadelphia to close the gap with former president Donald Trump. After this, the 6 remaining swing states turned in their ballots- it was a modern landslide for Donald Trump Jr.

The electorate was not the only group that felt the shockwave move through the system. The cryptocurrency community responded with joy. Under the aggressive policies of Gary Gensler and the SEC crypto’s growth had been stifled by court case after court case–with most of them, save the Ripple case, going in favor of crypto. Bitcoin grew 8% to $75,000 overnight, Solana grew nearly 25% to over $80. XRP even grew almost 2% to $0.56. The crypto community now had its first pro-crypto president–and it is time to make moves. But what moves are best for the economy and the security of the United States?

Going back to that little county in Pennsylvania that decided the election, there is a man who grew up in that county, my business partner Dr. Christopher Smithmyer. If you have never heard of Chris, then you may not know crypto as well as you think you do. Dr. Smithmyer is one of the most lettered people in the United States. With advanced degrees in law, business, labor law, and research. He is a professor at Arkansas State University, The University of Arizona (GC), Regent University and Doane University (teaching about two classes a year for each). He has dozens of books, hundreds of articles and even a full 8-volume encyclopedia about “Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Dynamics” with his name on it. But when it comes down to the future of the country-there is one document which this guy from a little county in the middle of nowhere wrote which has implications that could change the position of the United States in relation to cryptocurrency.

The Model Law on Digital Assets and Exchanges (MDAE) for the DCBAS (Dynamic Collation on Blockchain Assurances and Standardizations) of the Internet Governance Forum of the United Nations is one of the most important pieces of model legislation ever written if you are interested in cryptocurrency. Unlike the Markets in Cryptocurrency Act (MiCA) which is continually delayed in the European Union, the MDAE is designed to give nations the ability to create their own cryptocurrency legislation from a global framework–without the attached bureaucracy which is estimated to cost nations billions of dollars to set up and millions of dollars each year to keep in place. The MDAE is designed to protect the domestic and the global economy through KYC, CTF (Counter-Funding Terrorism), AML, and anti-trafficking protections while still allowing a “transportation rule” effect around the world. Countries that sign onto this model legislation and build laws around it have the ability to follow global treaty guidelines without creating billion-dollar bureaucracies. Further, it specifies the duties of coin issuers, wallets, and exchanges to ensure that KYC/AML are done in the right place which is something MiCA makes overly complicated.

Under the new Trump Presidency, with an avante guarde young Vice President in J.D. Vance, we have the opportunity to allow American exceptionalism into the international digital zeitgeist. Dr. Smithmyer’s model law brings together the business community, the government, and the people who live in each nation to ensure that all stakeholder interests are protected, that there is a concrete resolution system for problems that may arise, and a vision of limited democracy so that from Pulau to France, from Haiti to Australia and from the United States to the former Eastern Bloc nations everyone can afford to have clear, concise and effective cryptocurrency law.

As we move into an America-centric regime–we have to remember that, while we want America First, we need global success to ensure that the United States is not called upon to be the police force of the world as under the Biden, Obama, and Bush Regimes. Good laws globally benefit everyone–they stop terrorism, undercut money laundering, and give people the trust and certainty they need to do business on a global scale. Many have tried to build a model law that will help everyone, one person has been successful in that effort. If America is going to be the paragon–that shining city on the hill, we need a bright light to make it shine. The digital future is looking bright, let us allow this model law to project that bright future across the globe with the United States as its source.

Farewell Ouroboros: How Cryptocurrency Can Stop Consuming Itself Through Liquidity Pools

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 00:00:21 GMT

How it is Time for the Cryptocurrency to Quit Consuming Itself through Liquidity Pools

In Greek and Egyptian Legends, the Ouroboros is a snake or serpent eating its own tail. This is an indication of a system that is constantly consuming itself but also constantly being reborn. [1] Within the space of the cryptocurrency realm, we see this occurring - limiting growth because of the constant consumption.[2] In order for the field to advance beyond its present state as a secondary currency system to fiat currency, the innovation (rebirth) needs to continue, and the constant infighting and consumption of our progress must stop.[3]

One of the biggest drains on the economy of the cryptoverse is the concept of TradFi liquidity.[4] This ability to convert to “cold-hard cash” is redundant in a system created to move away from that same cash. The cryptocurrency industry either needs to expel the term liquidity from its lexicon or enforce changes in the meaning of the term to allow it to move into the digital space. Both of these options have promise, but they also have drawbacks.

Expulsion of the term from the lexicon may seem like the front runner in this case; however, liquidity has already been adopted by the field in some areas. For centralized exchanges (CEXs) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), liquidity is a must—but not in its present form. In these cases, liquidity is a pool of tokens and coins that ensures the smooth transfer of tokens within the system.[5] CEXs and DEXs both need pools of tokens to ‘sell’ when there is demand. A small pool of the native coin also needs to exist to ensure that gas/transactional fees can be paid to prevent denial of transfer. [6] Tokens should also have a limited liquidity pool of the native coin in their wallet to ensure that they have the gas fees/transaction fees to move the currency out of their wallet. [7] The terminology of these pools is based on the idea that tokens convert to coins which convert to fiat currency through an on-ramp/off-ramp policy; unfortunately, this is one of the problems with the current system. [8]

Changing the terminology also shows promise but threatens to mire the financial industry in a system of competing lexicons. For TradFi, liquidity is well established as the ability to convert something into fiat currency.[9] The current global system is built on this concept (along with debt financing).[10] Within the cryptoverse, there is a movement to convert liquidity into meaning “ability to convert to additional goods and services.” Basically, this idea comes from the fact that cryptocurrency is, in fact, currency. The concept of converting currency into another type of currency is wonderful for the forex markets - but if the currency is not able to be exchanged for goods and/or services, it is not useful.[11] Therefore, the front end of the cryptocurrency industry is moving for a terminological change. This change is being resisted by the TradFi industry, for good reason as the idea of liquidity is the basis for the debt financing system, and the Degen/DAO wing of the cryptoverse who simply uses cryptocurrency is an observation of fiat transactions.[12]

Models, such as Geocommerce’s “Closed Loop Currency Exchange” allow for transactions to eliminate the need for a currency intermediary.[13] Trading direct fungible assets for other goods and services allows humanity to overcome the classic problem of currency being used as a methodology to alleviate the need to carry large amounts of assets with a person as the currency was a direct representation of the assets.[14] By allowing the direct exchange of crypto or physical assets within a closed network, the system allows for unimpeded growth and minimizes the necessity for state-issued currencies.

The simplest solution is to clarify the term, rather than expel it or completely change it. Digital liquidity is a simple term that states the meaning the field needs, that the currency is able to be changed into goods and/or services readily. If the cryptocurrency industry treats fiat currency like fiat currency treats cryptocurrency as goods, then the system continues to work. Terminologically, the idea of digital liquidity makes sense in the digital space. Fiat can keep physical liquidity, which adds an extra step to the process, while the digital field can eliminate that extra step- bringing people one step closer to their wealth. Thus, Ouroboros is freed from the destructive cycle of self-consumption, and the industry can continue with the innovation.

Tokemetrics: Measuring the Potential Value in a Cryptocurrency Under a New Preliminary Offering

Tokemetrics: Measuring the Potential Value in a Cryptocurrency

Abstract

As the cryptoverse grows, we set the lexicon of our new field. Tokenomics is the study of how a cryptocurrency is built and lends itself to understanding how a cryptocurrency is doing at the moment it is analyzed. However, business needs something that can forecast the value of a token on the market beyond the present, beyond the past and into the future. This does not have to be foolproof, but it does have to work more often or not. One of the questions that businesses present is whether a token will have a stable valuation; this is something that we can define, quantify, and turn into a usable statistic within the field. Tokemetrics is a new concept that allows the analyst to use a standard structure to build out an analytical model looking at the stability of a token over a long-term period. While the model is not designed to predict the growth or failures of a project, it can provide some comfort to businesses entering the field to look at whether the token’s value should be stable. Small analytical tools like these enable the business world to merge with the cryptocurrency world to move humanity toward a new age of access to wealth and digitization of assets.

Key Words:

Tokenomics, Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, DeFi, Fintech, Web3, Token metrics

Introduction

Stability is one of the key elements holding back cryptocurrency advancement on a global scale. While crypto-preneurs are willing to accept 10-20% swings in valuation, traditional finance (TradFi) firms are less likely to accept that type of risk. [1] As a result, there is a gap developing between cryptocurrency investors and traditional investors - a gap that is based more on a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of options. [2] Current token metrics, such as quadratic valuation and wrought tokenomics, look at the current value and current stability of a project. [3] This is important for spot checks, but as many TradFi firms look at forecasting for investable assets, this falls short of measuring the potential value of the tokens. As such, Tokemetrics is offered as a methodology to look at the stability of a given currency. [4]

Tokemetrics is a measurement tool for the potential value of a token, relative to the current value of the token. This means that in order to have a functional Tokemetrics review, there must be a tokenomics review (such as the UN/GBA Blockchain Maturity Model [BMM]). [5] There must also be a review of the valuation, of which the quadratic approach is more recommended than a mono-variate approach. [6] These need to be established to understand the potential value of a project, as more than just a guess within the system. The Tokemetrics model offered herein is based on a cubist approach to the potential valuation of a given token.

This theoretical offering is a pilot offering. While the metrics of the system are directly related to the potential value of the token, the measurement of said variables needs to be moved from a qualitative assessment to a quantitative measurement to ensure development. [7] As such, it is better that the theoretical model be presented to the community so that thousands of minds can work on the development of the system, both independently and in concert, to ensure that the system develops in the best manner possible.

Methodology

The approach to this model is based on the hybridization of Grounded Theory, as observable data within the cryptoverse. It is our primary methodology at this point and social cubism. For Grounded Theory, the classic model proposed by Glasser and Strauss seems to be the ideal model, even forsaking more modern models such as Charmaz. [8] As for Social Cubism, the approach used by Byrne and Carter in their analysis of Ethnoterritorial Politics in Northern Ireland, though the topics are divergent, functions well to create the model. [9]

The Glasser and Straus model, in its native form, is primarily designed for the medical profession. As such, the approach to theoretical sensitivity and data collection are functional for the present task. [10] The coding process, which normally consists of Open Coding, Axial Coding, and Selective Coding, will be replaced by Recursive Frame Analysis (RFA), as developed by Chanail. [11] As this model is more modern and more suited to deal with the meta-synthesis of works in the field, its substitution is more effective. Returning to the native model, the hypothesis that there are six key areas of analysis for potential value allows us to “null hypothesis” out other factors, or in the event that a factor has a non-system or regional effect (like government interaction or adoption by institutional systems) it can be noted as a supplemental element away from the primary system. [12] The system then looks for saturation of evidence, to the point that a strong majority of new evidence is redundant. This then presents to the level where the researchers are comfortable writing this report on the findings.

The complexity of Tokemetrics dealing with potential within the cryptoverse requires the frames of the theory to be viewed through a hexi-variate lens. This fits ideally with the Byrne and Carter methodology used in the analysis of Ethnoterritorial Politics in Northern Ireland and Quebec. [13] While Byrne and Carter used: Demographics, Economics Factors, Religion, History, Political Factors, and Psychocultural Factors; this model will adjust the lens to include:

1.) Community (Demographics)

2.) Assets (Economics Factors)

3.) Governance (Political Factors)

4.) Supply/Demand Factors

5.) Use Cases/Business Use (Psychocultural Factors)

6.) History (History)

This provides a rounded approach to the model's analysis, allowing the values to be subjectively quantified.

Tokemetrics Analysis

In order to present the data in a visual method, especially to allow for the analysis of the data against like systems, rather than a cube, the model is present as a radar graph, allowing the reader to see the potential stability of the token. As you can see in the above analysis, the token is balanced in its Tokemetrics system. This shows that the token has a good chance of maintaining a stable value. Conversely, in the analysis of a memecoin below, we note that the primary Tokemetric factor for the unit is community (due to the meme nature of the token. As such, we see a wild fluctuation in the relative Tokemetrics, indicating that the token’s potential is volatile.

This system does not predict the movement of the token. It simply predicts whether the token is more likely or not to be stable in value.

The Tokemetrics system not only provides insights into a token’s current state but also guides its future development. For instance, in the case of the memecoin, the system highlights the potential to enhance stability by increasing assets, use cases, or supply and demand factors. The system's adaptability, working off a base 100 system, ensures that factors such as history, community, and governance are adjusted to rectify the model. Notably, any token with values exceeding 50% is deemed overly centralized, raising concerns about its stability and control, and indicating a higher likelihood of volatility.

Data Points

Because the system works off of a six variable structure, it is important to know how the data points function and why they are important. The diversity of the cryptoverse increases the difficulty of the analysis, as different types of tokens have different models for stability- however, they all still answer to the market and quadratic valuations.

Meme Coin Tokemetrics Analysis Example

1.) Community (Demographics) -

The community of a token is made up by those who hold the token, those who use the token, those who support the token, and those who are showing interest in the token. [14] Too often, the community is limited to the Discord channel for the project - often leaving out investors, those who hold the token in a portfolio that is managed by someone else, those who discuss the token on other platforms, exchange chat communities, and those who have the token on a ‘watch list’ but are not active in the discussion of the community. [15] These divergent denizens of a cryptocurrency community all have the ability to affect the price. [16] Additionally, the media is an omnipresent member of the community, regardless of whether the media is heralding the latest success or failure of the token or remaining mute on the subject. Looking at the community involves looking at the integration, development, and communication between these factors and those who are managing the project. [17]

2.) Assets (Economics Factors) -

Cryptocurrencies are businesses, even the not-for-profit ones. This means that they have assets that need to be attached to a company or an individual. [18] This analysis can be one of the more difficult factors to look into when doing a Tokemetric analysis as many cryptocurrency companies are run by anons. [19] Legal assets are the primary category of assets that a token has at its disposal. These include the name (if copyrighted, trademarked, or "poor-man’s" copyrighted), logo (if trademarked or “poor-man’s” copyrighted), copyrighted and published white papers, any patents, intellectual property agreements, trademarks, copyrights, poor-man’s copyrights or contracts held by the company. Assets also include any physical holdings which the company may have such as land, office space, or equipment. The category of assets also includes transferable assets such as derivatives, stocks, digital assets, liquidity pools, asset pools, or any other bankable/tradable assets (CDs, Bonds, etc.). [20]

3.) Governance (Political Factors) -

A project must have a method of governance, whether it is centralized or decentralized. Governance affects the potential value because it can determine the stability of the function of the project. [21] Whether centralized or decentralized, the company should have a well-structured governance system and voting mechanism. This is, perhaps, the most subjective of the categories. [22] As the cryptoverse expands, decentralized governance mechanisms should be seen as more stable as they need a higher portion of the population to ‘vote’ to make a change in the structure. Centralized systems, however, do have more ability to adapt to changes in the environment. [23]

4.) Supply/Demand Factors -

Whether the system has a mechanism for maintaining stability within the ecosystem is of paramount importance. [24] Systems that have nothing in place have a score of 0 in this category, while systems that have a cyclic fee or burn structure can have scores as high as 20 (depending on the relative value of other elements). Traditional burns (dumb burns) have a relative score between 5-10, depending on who controls the dead wallet to which the tokens are burned. [25]

5.) Use Cases/Business Use (Psychocultural Factors) -

The more use, or utility, that a token has, the better - to a point. If the project eschews all other factors and simply has a high usage factor within a specific industry, there is still the danger of the industry having problems. [26] This can cause volatility if the Tokemetrics are too heavily vested in one segment. [27] High usage is good when the relative value is equitable with the value of the other categories. [28]

6.) History -

Short histories are dangerous and volatile histories are dangerous. Long-term, steady histories are valuable. As the industry is only 15 years, a stable history of following the roadmap the company outlined (and white paper) for two years is a stable history. [29] History, unlike the other vectors in the chart, has an optimal value between 15-20. It cannot really move beyond 25 as the field is so young. [30] Most companies that have not been hacked or had a major liquidity problem and have been in existence for over two years have a history value of 10ish. This rises to the 15-20 range if they can show that they have had a steady valuation that falls within the predicted model of the whitepaper/roadmap.

As noted in the introduction, this is a pilot theoretical study. This means that these categories are suggested as the main categories for the project, but the methodologies for measuring the values should be reviewed, revised, and improved to ensure that the system grows to be a strong system. No person built the cryptoverse, nor should one control its analytical fate.

Discussion

The need for a system of Tokometrics is quite clear as businesses are looking for a way to better understand how a cryptocurrency will preform in the short and long term. To do this, there needs to be a clearly defined set of elements for which researchers can find data. Socio-Economic Cubism seems to be a functional methodology for ensuring that the Tokemetrics of the system is not limited to one lens, but spread across the spectrum of discerning factors to ensure a balanced, and more verifiable, analysis.

To this end, the community must come together to improve the data system. Statistically, the cryptoverse has the best data of any financial system on the planet. The immutable ledger ensures that all past data and present data are available for review. This means that historical analysis of a cryptocurrency is better suited to function than any other field. However, the youth of the field makes forecasting more difficult, and as such we need a strong system of Tokemetrics to ensure that the industry can fully assimilate with the TradFi system.

As a result, the discourse culminates in a pivotal question, “How can we enhance each vector?” Knowledge in a domain is a powerful tool, but when wielded without wisdom, it can lead to poor use, damage, and even the most brilliant minds appear foolish. As tokenomics evolves into a more mature field, it must strive to develop in a manner that enables seamless integration with business systems worldwide. This, in turn, can contribute to a better world where people have access to their wealth, thereby reducing the number of unbanked and underbanked individuals globally.

We had the honor of beta testing the first version of the L.O.V.E. Pod Satellite internet hotspot with a built-in VPN. The connectivity was impressive, and the ease of use was so simple that anyone could use it.

You will appreciate this review and product if you're a digital nomad, a frequent traveler, or someone who values flexibility and security in their internet connection. Discover the unique benefits of the L.O.V.E. Pod Satellite internet hotspot, such as its impressive connectivity and user-friendly interface, that can enhance your lifestyle, allowing you to connect to the internet on your terms.

For those of us who have concerns about being disconnected from the internet, loss of mobile signal, or want enhanced security and privacy, this team has developed a valuable solution they want to be available to the masses. And the best part? The L.O.V.E. Pod Satellite internet hotspot is available at an affordable price of $200 and $48 a month, making it a great investment for your connectivity needs.

Curious about my journey with the L.O.V.E. Pod Satellite internet hotspot? Keep reading to learn about my experience testing it out, and discover the fascinating history of how the underserved innovated their way in the digital age.

Real World Access

I share my story over the last few months and my experience of using the pod. This is an honest review of the V1 Pod. The newer model, based on feedback from about 200 beta users, has been enhanced with better features and benefits, such as improved connectivity and a more user-friendly interface, making it an even more reliable and convenient tool for your internet needs.

The first iteration of the L.O.V.E. Pod Satellite internet hotspot is a marvel of compact design, comparable in size to a large ear pod case or a small egg. In fact, at first glance, it could easily be mistaken for an egg. A simple twist and the top third pops off, revealing a discreet USB power dongle.

It was plug-and-play - activate it and enter your private passcode to access your personal Wi-Fi hotspot.

I initially tested the L.O.V.E. Pod Satellite internet hotspot at home, where I used it for normal internet activities. The experience was nothing short of seamless, with no lag whatsoever. The added benefit is its built-in VPN, which is great to use most of the time but cannot be turned off. The other limitation was the VPN is set to Hong Kong—you could get all the Chinese news you want. This was one minor negative to me. We hear that there might be more options for VPNs around the world.

The other test was to see what was possible with video and multiple devices. YouTube played just fine with no latency. A Zoom conference was the extreme that I pushed it. In my experience, there was a loss of signal a couple of times, much like you would get attending a Zoom conference on your phone.

The most reassuring aspect of this device is its portability. I carried it wherever I went, especially on trips to the mountains, where reliable connectivity is often a challenge. Living in Colorado or any other remote area, I often found my cell phone's internet to be unreliable. However, with this device, I could simply plug it in and enjoy a stable connection, allowing me to make a phone call and work on my laptop simultaneously. Even in my car, I could plug it into the USB drive and it worked seamlessly.

You know how you attend a crypto conference and you are a little sketched out being surrounded by all the super smart techie guys there? I attended Ethereum Denver and I had to use my laptop several times. All I had to do was plug the USB cord into my laptop's USB drive, and I was connected securely and without hassle.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel and hesitated to use their 'free' Wi-Fi due to security concerns? I was in Las Vegas, NV on business and needed internet for my laptop before the day began and when I got back to my room. It was nice connecting without the worry of shared, public Wi-Fi and keeping my connection secure. With this device, you no longer have to compromise on security for convenience. It provides a secure and convenient alternative to public Wi-Fi, protecting your online activities.

The takeaway is you never know when you're going to need it until you are caught without it.

Features and Benefits of the L.O.V.E. Pod

L.O.V.E. Pods are equipped with a dual blockchain encrypted VPN for end-to-end

security and privacy. Their dual blockchain, dubbed the CubeChain, is the combination of two encrypted blockchains that securely connect and protect data, while combining most devices and software into an exchange and compatible transaction layer called LO.V.E. Secure OS (Operating System).

The proprietary 2048-bit CubeChain encryption runs all data heuristically through our exclusive Operating System to protect from digital attacks being able to hack our devices.

L.O.V.E. Pods MESH together to create a private terrestrial-based network, we call this the L.O.V.E. Global Network. Each LO.V.E. Pod works as a node for both broadcasting and receiving in

combination with each other, satellite, and the L.O.V.E. Super-Pod (currently in beta). When enough Pods are deployed, they will be able to sustain their own private Intranet.

4G IOT chips are also used in the device to access local networks for higher speeds until we have more Pods deployed into the MESH Network. We use 4G versus 5G intentionally so that our users are not subjected to the possible ionization effects of the higher frequency bands utilized by 5G.

Fascinating History - Purpose Driven Innovation

Developed by First Nations innovators, this technological breakthrough aimed to enhance Internet connectivity across Indigenous territories. Historically, Indigenous communities have faced significant challenges in accessing reliable internet due to inadequate infrastructure. This issue is compounded by the economic barriers faced by lower-income families, making even available internet services unattainable. In Canada, for instance, a staggering 65.2% of First Nations reserve households were found to be without access to the standard universal service. Furthermore, Alberta's Broadband Strategy highlighted in 2022 that 80% of Indigenous communities lacked internet connectivity at desired speeds due to poor technology, unreliable connections, and insufficient funding for broadband initiatives.

In an effort to address this pressing issue, a distinguished engineer and technologist, who hails from the First Nations community, spearheaded a project alongside a dedicated team over ten years. Their efforts culminated in developing cutting-edge hybrid and satellite technologies, paving the way for introducing the innovative Internet Pods at affordable rates. These devices, soon to be available in various sizes for individuals and households, including a Super-Pod designed to serve an entire Reservation, signify a major leap forward in bridging the digital divide. While the initial motivation was to empower Indigenous communities, the potential of this technology has led to its global release.

Notably, a portion of the proceeds from sales and ongoing service fees is earmarked for supporting Indigenous peoples worldwide.

Decentralized Trading Bot Finally Hits the Market

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:02:39 GMT

New Decentralized Cryptocurrency Trading Bot Hits the Market

The Rise of Decentralized Cryptocurrency Trading Bots

In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency trading, investors are constantly seeking innovative tools and strategies to gain an edge in the market. One such tool that has gained significant popularity in recent years are cryptocurrency trading bots. These automated systems leverage algorithms to execute trades on behalf of users, aiming to capitalize on market trends and fluctuations. While centralized trading bots have dominated the scene, there is a growing need for decentralized alternatives that offer enhanced security, transparency, and autonomy.

The Promise of Centralized Trading Bots

Centralized trading bots have been widely embraced by cryptocurrency enthusiasts for their ability to execute trades swiftly and efficiently in hopes of locking in gains automatically. These bots are typically hosted on centralized servers, allowing users to access their services through a web interface. Centralized platforms offer convenience and a user-friendly experience, making them accessible to traders of varying expertise levels.

However, centralized trading bots come with their fair share of challenges. Investment in the latest and greatest robot can be costly, in the range of $500–3,000, and a huge barrier. The learning curve takes focus, and learning the proper setups is time-consuming. The wrong setup and you can wipe out an account. Security remains a significant concern, as users are required to trust the platform with their sensitive trading information, including API keys and personal data. Hacks and security breaches have been reported, highlighting the vulnerabilities inherent in centralized systems. Additionally, the lack of transparency can lead to doubts regarding the fairness of trade execution and the integrity of the platform.

The Need for Decentralization

In response to these challenges, the cryptocurrency community is increasingly recognizing the advantages of decentralized trading bots. A decentralized trading bot operates on a blockchain, utilizing smart contracts to execute trades in a trustless and transparent manner. By eliminating the need for a central authority, decentralized trading bots address security concerns and foster greater user control over their assets.

Decentralization brings with it enhanced security, as users retain ownership of their private keys and trading data. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and provides a more secure environment for traders to execute their strategies. Furthermore, the transparency afforded by blockchain technology ensures that trade executions are verifiable and tamper-proof, instilling confidence in users regarding the integrity of the trading process.

Jonny Blockchain's New Decentralized Exchange Robot Trader

Jonny Blockchain (JB) began like most bots, allowing Centralized Exchange trading. They proved their trading over the last 3 years and began building a version of their bot to work on a DEX.

Jonny Blockchain DEX bot opened to the public at the beginning of December 2023, and the results are impressive. We opened a fresh MetaMask wallet on the BNB Smart Chain to trade on PancakeSwap since it has huge liquidity and low fees. We loaded it with mostly USDT and a little BNB for fees. We plugged into the JB community on Telegram to see what was working best for trades. There are a variety of tokens to choose from. The more volatile tokens work the best within the bot. The default settings work great too. Just tweak the percent allocation for your particular token bot compared with how many bots you want to trade and the total USDT budget you have to work with. We started with $400 and the bot got to work. For example, we set up the bots ranging from $100-$200 allocation. Each trade is picking up smaller positions from $6-$40 and selling them after an uptrend is reversed.

Take a look at the screenshots below.

New Paragraph

Autonomy and Empowerment

Decentralized trading bots also empower users by granting them greater autonomy over their trading activities. Users maintain control over their funds, and the smart contracts governing the bot's operations are executed automatically without the need for intermediaries. This not only streamlines the trading process but also reduces the dependency on third-party platforms.

The decentralized nature of the Jonny Blockchain bot aligns with the core principles of cryptocurrency - decentralization, censorship resistance, and democratization of financial systems. Users are no longer subject to the rules and regulations of a centralized entity, fostering a more inclusive and open financial ecosystem.

The rise of decentralized cryptocurrency trading bots, like Jonny Blockchain , represents a paradigm shift in the way traders engage with the market. With heightened security, transparency, and user autonomy, decentralized trading bots offer a compelling alternative to their centralized counterparts. As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, the demand for decentralized solutions is likely to grow, shaping the future of automated trading in a decentralized and trustless manner.

It is great to see a great product from Jonny Blockchain that solves a big problem. Their first-mover advantage should position them for success and help them continue to innovate and help more trad ers.

Jonny Blockchain Marketing Model

Their goal is to grow organically through word of mouth, and like most decentralized models, they want to reward the community for sharing their platform and their story with other users. Of course, they built a referral model to incentivize sharing with others.

Take a look at the details here:

To access the trading bots there is a connection fee of:

$25 USDT for one year to DEX Trading MetaMask connection.

As an Affiliate, you can get a commission on the connection fee and profitable trades over 4 levels (see below); these commissions will show in the "Wallet Statement".

Banking on the Future

How Financial Institutions Can Successfully Navigate the Web3 Revolution

As the digital landscape undergoes a shift to decentralized infrastructures powered by AI and

immersive technologies, the banking sector finds itself at a crossroads. Adaptability, innovation,

and collaboration have emerged as the triumvirate of success. Embracing this powerful trifecta

becomes not only a competitive advantage but survival itself. Leadership among legacy banks,

legislators, and regulators has an opportunity to support policies that drive innovation and

cooperation; archaic models will face further digital financial migration to decentralized models

or institutions that support the people.

Over the past two decades, technological advancements have led to the emergence of Web3-

based technologies such as blockchain, NFTs, smart contracts, immersive "metaverse" environments, and artificial intelligence. These technologies transform how individuals and

businesses socialize, learn, work, and transact financially. However, immense, untapped

potential exists for digitalizing, transferring, and safeguarding blockchain assets, presenting a

unique opportunity for many businesses.

Web3: The key to unlocking Web3 potential in banking

The emergence of Web3 promises significant advancements for the banking industry with a

focus on enhanced security, transparency, and growth opportunities.

Increased security and transparency are one of the most immediate advancements from adopting this technology. The inherently decentralized and transparent blockchain technology not only increases security by reducing the risk of fraud and cyber-attacks but also promotes transparency by providing a clear record of transactions that can be accessed by all parties involved.

Technology can also streamline and automate many processes, increasing efficiency and

reducing operational costs. Processes that are complex in their current form, such as loan

approvals or cross-border payments, can be streamlined by smart contracts and DeFi platforms.

Enhanced Quote in a block if we have room

“In addition to creating efficiencies in existing processes, Web3 presents a significant

opportunity for banks to develop innovative financial products and services that lead to new

revenue streams.”

Early-mover advantages and untapped opportunities

In addition to creating efficiencies in existing processes, Web3 presents a significant opportunity

for banks to develop innovative financial products and services that lead to new revenue streams. Early adopting banks can cater to the changing needs of their customers, such as seamless cross-border payments, instant settlements, and fractional ownership of assets. These types of products and services can offer greater convenience, security, and accessibility to customers, in turn leading to increased loyalty and market share.

Traditional exchanges can leverage Web3 technology to increase accessibility for small investors

by reducing transaction costs, improving liquidity, and shortening settlement times. Crypto

exchanges can integrate crypto/equity pairs, expanding their offerings and generating trading

fees. Investment firms can tokenize traditional financial products, providing more secure options

in regulated marketplaces. Hedge and venture funds can tokenize their portfolios, offer fractional ownership, and broaden investor pools. Finally, global retail investors can invest in traditional financial products with minimal capital while accessing new opportunities using fiat or crypto holdings.

Overcoming challenges to mainstream adoption

While there are many compelling reasons to adopt Web3 technologies, Digital Asset

technologies are facing challenges in gaining mainstream adoption, as does any technology early in its lifecycle. Two significant challenges specific to Digital Assets are compliance and

onboarding.

Compliance issues arise as many of these technologies operate in a regulatory gray area, unlike

traditional financial systems that are subject to established regulations and standards. This lack of oversight can expose users to risks they may need help understanding, making it essential for

banks to navigate this landscape carefully and responsibly.

Onboarding presents another challenge, as integrating these new technologies into existing

banking systems requires a delicate balance between innovation and familiarity. Traditional

financial institutions must find a way to adopt these new technologies without disrupting their

established business models while simultaneously providing all the benefits of Web3 and

preserving all the features valued by customers and required by regulators.

Complex onboarding processes, limited bridge security, and the technical knowledge needed to

manage funds using a single seed key can be daunting for everyday users. Therefore, banks must develop user-friendly solutions that can bridge the gap between the old and the new, making the shift to Web3 seamless and accessible for all.

To bring Web3 mainstream, we need clear regulations, a strong focus on UX/UI, and education

of both the TradFi institutions and the developer community. Even the most knowledgeable and powerful influencers within “Crypto” do not understand the existing global economic systems, financial infrastructures, and how large and small institutions actually operate.

Key strategies to navigate digital transformation

Banks striving to stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on the potential of Web3 technology

must adopt a proactive and comprehensive approach to navigate this digital transition effectively.

To succeed, financial institutions should focus on three fundamental aspects of their strategy:

stakeholder collaboration, experimentation, and cultural adoption.

Stakeholder collaboration

Banks should actively engage with various stakeholders within the Web3 ecosystem, including

technology partners, regulators, and other financial institutions. This collaboration can lead to

valuable insights, shared best practices, and the development of standardized solutions, ensuring a smoother integration of Web3 technologies into existing systems and processes.

Experimentation

Embracing experimentation is crucial for banks to identify areas of opportunity and address

potential challenges that may arise during the transition. By establishing innovation labs or

partnering with fintech startups, banks can test and iterate Web3-based products and services in a controlled environment. This process allows financial institutions to refine their offerings and develop effective strategies for scaling and deploying these technologies on a broader scale.

Cultural adoption

To ensure a seamless transition to Web3 technologies, banks must foster a culture of continuous

learning and upskilling among their employees. This includes investing in training programs and other educational resources that enable employees to develop the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the changing landscape. Encouraging cross-functional collaboration and empowering employees to contribute ideas for leveraging Web3 technologies can also help drive innovation and accelerate adoption.

The financial sector stands at a critical juncture, with the Web3 revolution poised to redefine the

industry’s future. Banks can confidently navigate this transformative era by embracing

stakeholder collaboration, experimentation, and cultural adoption. As financial institutions chart

their course through these uncharted waters, the proactive adoption of Web3 technologies will

not only shape their competitive advantage but will also determine their ability to thrive amid the relentless waves of change.

The Rise of the Young Bitcoin User

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 13:16:57 GMT

THE RISE OF THE YOUNG BITCOIN USER

A Day of Supporting Financial Education and Business in Middle School

Hey Mister, I accept Bitcoin!

This was the day's mantra shouted by business students at Thrive Prep Charter School's entrepreneur assembly for middle school kids. I was invited to help a few Denver-area bitcoiners teach the kids how to use digital wallets on the Lightning Network so they could all do business together. At the end of the entrepreneur fair, you could tell most of the 7th and 8th-grade mini-business boys and girls all felt a sense of achievement and some added excitement looking at their Sat's balance in their wallets.

From a barbers chair and shoe shine booth to a smoothie stand and eyelash extension stylist, these kids were inspired to create their own businesses and make some extra money. The sats they began stacking in their wallets were an easier way to collect payments.

100 Million (Sats) satoshi's = 1 (BTC) bitcoin

The day started with Anthony Feliciano and Mark Maraia showing me the Muun wallet functionality. Super easy download, set your PIN, fund your wallet from another bitcoin stash, and secure the wallet another day in private. I discovered that the previous week they taught the students a series of lessons on money and bitcoin and how they could become sovereign or autonomous entrepreneurs. The event was sponsored by WeStrive who contributed $50 in seed capital to each little entrepreneur to start their businesses. The Rocky Mountain bitcoiners group raised about $500 in BTC to be distributed to all the participants. We had fun funding their Muun wallets with Sats and showing the vendors how to create invoices to get paid.

We all gathered in the school's gymnasium - vendors were set up just like science fair exhibitors, but these kids were ready to do business together. The buyers scurried around us in anticipation of having portions of bitcoin in their wallets ready to send to their friends for goods and services they wanted. It was fascinating to see how easy it was for the 12 and 13-year-old digital natives to "get it" and start using it intuitively. Even their proud teachers had fun buying crafts and homemade treats from their students with their wallets.

The Bitcoin Take-away

This event was the perfect real-life scenario of how microtransactions can work effectively for a peer-to-peer transaction with BTC. Each Lightning Network transaction was literally transferred in a flash. On a $5 transaction or 0.00030510 sats (BTC) the processing fee was $0.04. Less than a credit card transaction! Beyond P2P, this gives an undeniable use case for businesses of any size. With the expensive fees and delayed settlement times inherent with blockchain transactions, users have wondered if the blockchain could handle micro-transactions, $10 or less, like we do every day. Fast settlement and low fees - This is the first step in seeing Bitcoin transactions become ubiquitous. People who only think Bitcoin is a store of value need to take a look at what is being developed on Bitcoin's layer 2, the Lightning Network.

Hey Mister! The kids proved that it works - they accept bitcoin now too!

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 22:44:30 GMT

WHO IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO?

By Charlie Stivers

When you think of leaders of historical significance in business and society, what most of them have in common is they brought a technology or product to the masses. Their creation is the beginning of a movement that further evolves our way of life. Bill Gates didn’t invent the computer – he made it affordable and easy for all of us to use computers with his software. Henry Ford didn’t invent the car – he developed the assembly line to make vehicles available to the masses at a lower cost. Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous leader or group that brought Bitcoin and the beginning of blockchain technology to millions of users.

There were others before that tried digital currencies, like e-Gold. Satoshi was the first to develop blockchain technology that combined a peer-to-peer digital currency on a recorded public ledger in a decentralized database, known as the Bitcoin blockchain. This digital technology was special because it prevented double spending of the currency with a recorded time stamp. As a digital asset, it has a built-in incentive for the users to help it grow and its scarcity makes it more sought after, thus more valuable, and considered by many as the only - sound currency. Therefore, you see the headlines feeding the frenzy, while Bitcoin leaders, advocates, and investors continue to spread the story. Some continue to innovate on top of the foundation of the network. It's not only about the asset BTC, but it is also about the future of the Bitcoin network!

Bitcoin involves 2 components that should be distinguished. The unhackable blockchain network is referred to as the Bitcoin blockchain with a capital “B”, and the digital currency is bitcoin with a lowercase “b”, or its ticker symbol, BTC. The security lies in its huge, decentralized network where copies of blockchain reside on several thousand nodes. To hack it would require changing the code and history of the blockchain on all nodes though out the global network.

Key Point - There will only ever be 21 million BTC.

Satoshi Nakamoto started his project in 2007 as a solution to the market crash and global collapse of our economic system. He presented the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31st, 2008, announcing his decentralized, P2P digital cash system to bypass the flawed, and sometimes corrupt, centralized banking system.

The great wonder, “Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?” is still to be determined in many minds. Would you want to be public about creating a currency to bypass and severely disrupt big government financial systems? The wealth in the original Bitcoin wallet is estimated to be worth billions. To this day, those bitcoins have never moved from that wallet. Is he alive or dead? That depends on who you think Satoshi is.

Some speculate it is a group of people, a secretive government branch like the CIA or NSA, or a cipher punk like the late Hal Finney who was a cryptographer who lived just blocks away from Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. Finney assisted with testing the blockchain system and participated in the first bitcoin transfer with Nakamoto.

Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, a California resident, under a similar name was working in secretive banking and government roles, cast uncertainty and doubts after answering confusing questions and made statements to the press who were chasing him down for the story. He stated he was no longer involved in that project and turned it over to others. In an ask-me-anything interview on Reddit, he stated he misinterpreted the question from reporters thinking they were talking about his past roles and work with banks and the government. Later that day, a message from Nakamoto’s P2P Foundation appeared after never having a post for 5 years stating, “I am not Dorian Nakamoto.” To further confuse the authenticity of the account’s post, months later the same account posted it had been hacked!

Nick Szabo has been thought of as Nakamoto due to his BitGold creation before Bitcoin and a stylometric process comparing his publications to the Bitcoin whitepaper noting similarities.

The rest of the story is filled with drama surrounding Dr. Craig Wright who claimed he is Satoshi publicly several times starting in 2016.

Let's honor Satoshi and assume he has passed through the pearly gates in the great metaverse. Keep building on the Bitcoin network and stacking those Sats!

The Rise of the Datapreneur

The Rise of the Datapreneur

powered by Constellation Network

It’s estimated that people produce 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, with the average person creating 1.7 Mb of data every second . Which sites we visit, what music we listen to, our spending and healthcare habits - and much, much more are continuously tracked by businesses looking to target advertising or customize products.

Who owns this data? The organizations tracking us do. Everyone has heard that “data is the new oil,” and boy is it valuable. An anonymized healthcare record is worth anywhere from $1500 to $5000 per person according to a 2020 study by E & Y. Whether it’s small-to-medium sized businesses or behemoths like Facebook and Google, the world of Web2 creates siloed and centralized databases, primarily used for the self-interest of the organizations tracking us.

Well, things are about to change. With advancements in Web3 by companies like Constellation Network, the world’s data will soon be tokenized on an underlying interoperable infrastructure and shared across diverse businesses and diverse use cases. Best of all - the individuals providing the data can retain ownership and manage the use of their data for direct compensation.

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 exp lore 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 rew arded 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?
