Welcome to the First Decentralized Application Integration Platform “Constellation”

As wide adoption of Blockchain technology solution is going viral in different sectors. It is wise for individuals, private and public parastatals to hop on, on the train of Blockchain technology, and ride along. However, this is not just something to hop on without having an in-depth knowledge of what it is and how it works. What exactly is this exceptional Blockchain based platform called Constellation all about? How does it work? How will I or my organization profit from it? With this article, all these questions and more will be answered.

What is Constellation?
Constellation is a Blockchain technology based platform that provides an enterprise software solution for Data provenance and integrity at scale.
Constellation framework ensures that your data is notarized and validated. It services are safe, cost effective, scalable, and easy to integrate.
In the same vein, Constellation is building a bridge between the industry and the new technological advancements in Blockchain.


Constellation Vision
Our vision is to create an ecosystem that expands the abilities of engineers and enterprises to invent and refine next-generation technologies by orders of magnitude.

Constellation Mission
Our mission is to build a technological world where truth is apparent, power is fairly distributed and reputation matters.

Solution/Use cases of Constellation Blockchain Platform

Finance/Banking Use case
Constellation innovation protocol promotes transparency, accountability, fast payment, low transaction cost, unalterable payment record etc.

Healthcare Use Case
Constellation Healthcare services provide a protocol for data security, breaches, medical records, transparence and much more to the medical sector.

IOT Use case
Constellation IOT creates a protocol for devices to securely and efficiently transmit data across disparate networks.

Mobility Use Case
The platform provides a protocol capable of ingesting and organizing data of new mobility technologies.

Energy
Constellation protocol gives a leading path for businesses to effectively distribute their energy consumption.

Academic Use case
Constellation protocol can be used in recording of grades, storage of degrees and other academic information of student, teachers/lecturers and sundries.

Manufacturing Use case
Scalable Blockchain architectures, like Constellation will enable factories to better mitigate against robot malfunctions and faulty productions. Sensors will be added to every point of the manufacturing supply chain today, aiding technicians by reducing their call to action and allowing them to fix assembly lines with less lag time. Ultimately, these sensors will provide technicians with the exact location of a problem or disruption, reducing their investigation time.

Features of Constellation Platform

Pillars of the Constellation Ecosystem
The Constellation ecosystem consists of four key components.

The Constellation Protocol
Each node in Constellation adheres to a set of rules that governs the network. While the protocol can be implemented in different ways, the core interface/RPC remains the crux of the protocol.

The Constellation Framework
The first implementation of the Constellation protocol, as in our Github (cite), is the Constellation framework. In coming months, developers will be able to simply import this codebase directly into their applications to integrate Constellation. Since we chose Scala to develop our protocol, we can integrate into all JVM languages natively at the first pass. We also plan to bring out frameworks in different implementations, the foremost in consideration being Python.

The Constellation Ecosystem
Developers can build applications importing the Constellation framework, but not necessarily on the Constellation distributed ledger. Constellation proposes an ecosystem of applications, called paraprotocols that are connected through the Constellation ledger in the center. The idea is to allow developers to program the actual use of a para-protocol into the protocol’s validation logic itself, meaning that the para-protocol is the decentralized application.

$DAG: The Liquidity Agent of Constellation
All para-protocols define some utility based upon their use cases. They can often be backed by real-life assets such as sensor data or renewable energy. The core protocol of these applications being the
Constellation framework, their utilities can also be seamlessly transferred across applications through the native token of Constellation: $DAG. The network effect of a growing ecosystem embodies the value of $DAG, enriched by the values of all applications and their use cases combined.

Developer and Community Portal – Orion
The primary function and value of the Orion Portal is to serve as a foundational source of information for all things Constellation Labs. Whether its support, marketing material, bounty campaigns, or developer documentation, it will all be living within Orion. We wanted to create a platform where the
Constellation team can interact and share with developers and community members alike, while also giving our users a chance to be rewarded for their time and expertise.

Orion will become the gateway and membership portal to the Constellation ecosystem. By staking $DAG tokens, token holders will be able to gain membership access to the portal on two levels, Community (250 $DAG) and Developer (1000 $DAG). There is also a free membership tier, where no $DAG staking is required. Within the portal, token holders will be able to work on GitHub issues, offer marketing services, as well as provide community support in return for tokens.

The vision of Orion is to enable Constellation to scale in a truly decentralized fashion. The Constellation Core team will curate the network while allowing the community to help shape, build, and grow the ecosystem. Depending on the membership level, there will be additional services such as a support desk for users and developers, as well as access to developer tools. Membership access token for the Orion user portal that will offer the following resources:
1. Developer documentation and Wiki
2. Developer support desk (tiered support based on membership level)
3. Developer tools (when test-net is launched)
4. Developer bounties for building features and application modules or full native applications.

Over time, the Orion portal will become the Constellation Application Marketplace where Developers will be able to monetize applications and services that they build on Constellation.

Constellation Token ($DAG)
Constellation token is an ERC20 compatible with total supply of 4,000, 000,000.00, and reached hard cap of $33.7M.

Exchanges

Constellation’s DAG token is listed and trading across leading crypto exchanges:


Constellation Partners

Constellation is partnered with institutional investment funds, crypto advisory firms, technology PR firms and blockchain education groups







Some of the MOBI partners that Constellation is in direct connection with include the following:

Constellation Community/Contact Channel
Constellation community thrives across host of social platforms; Telegram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Medium, Instagram, Discord, Youtube, Github etc. Through these medium the community members are updated on the happenings on the platform likewise enquiries or contact with the team are made:
