Guest: Benjamin Diggles - Co-Founder at Constellation Network

In the 50th episode of Constellation Networks' Hypergraph Hour, the team delves into the progress they've made, the challenges they've faced, and the exciting future they envision for their platform.

The Journey So Far

The episode kicks off with a recap of the journey so far. The team has successfully completed 60% of phase two contracts, a significant achievement that they're proud of. They've managed to convince the largest customer with the biggest data pipelines in the world of the value of not only blockchain but Constellation's Hypergraph Transfer Protocol (HGTP).

The Future

The team is excited about the future, with the U.S Air Force customer contract set to kick off in May 2023. They've created a program called Iron Spider, which aims to provide a subset of different tools for different use cases. The vision is to give parity with China's Blockchain Service Network, focusing on decentralization and DAOs.

The Next Phase

The next phase involves proving true L0 standard interoperability, bridging multiple blockchains using the L0 standard. They're also aiming for a thing called Authority to Operate, ensuring that their technology is compliant and secure. The next phase also involves the rollout of an IoT blockchain solution, creating a data clearinghouse for machine-to-machine data exchanges.

The Contract Milestone Schedule

The team is accountable for seven major milestones, which include blockchain security of command and control data communication, integration into Kename's data at rest solution, and deployment of a secure smart contract with a Civil Reserve Air Fleet representative partner.

The Vision

The team's vision is to create a different web 3.0 ecosystem, focusing on data. They aim to be a US-based blockchain that is regulated and has capabilities far beyond the status quo contenders. They're not just focused on finance but are pushing out web 3.0 tools. The real differentiator is data.

The Data Clearinghouse

The team introduces the concept of a data clearinghouse, orchestrated by the Hypergraph network of node operators. The node operators are the data clearinghouse, putting the stamp and validation on the data. The data then goes out to data brokers, into analytics, AI, and business intelligence tools.

Conclusion

The episode concludes with the team expressing their excitement for the future. They see their vision skyrocketing overnight, with a handful of metagraphs ready to use the data API and go live in the next couple of months. They're bringing web 3.0 tooling into web 2.0 industries, where there are already massive budgets and problems to be solved.

Welcome to the 49th episode of Constellation Networks' Hypergraph Hour, where we delve into the intricacies of the Euclid SDK, the currency framework, and the roadmap for the future. This episode, aired on April 7, 2023, features Alex Brandes, VP of Engineering at Constellation, and Seth B, a community member known for his technical expertise.

The Euclid SDK and Its Significance

The Euclid SDK, launched a week prior to this episode, is a significant milestone for Constellation. It marks the beginning of a series of consistent technical releases aimed at enhancing the functionality and ease of use of the platform. The SDK solves several problems and makes it easier for users to create metagraph tokens.

A Quick Architecture Recap

Before diving into the live demo, Alex provides a brief recap of the architecture of the Constellation Network. The DAG L1 Network, which accepts DAG transactions, validates them, groups them into blocks, and sends these blocks to the global L0 Network or Hypergraph to be included in a global snapshot. The DAG L1 Network's ability to run consensus in parallel allows for parallel processing of transactions and the creation of multiple blocks at once.

The introduction of metagraphs into the picture adds another layer of complexity. The architecture of a currency metagraph, created with the currency framework, is similar to that of the DAG L1 Network. It validates transactions sent to it and plays a similar role.

Live Demo: Creating a Metagraph Token

The live demo showcases the ease and speed of sending your first metagraph token transaction using the Euclid SDK. The process is streamlined and user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who are not technically inclined.

Roadmap and Future Releases

The roadmap for future releases is also discussed, providing a glimpse into the exciting developments that Constellation Network has in store. While specific details are not divulged, it's clear that the team is actively working on enhancing the platform and introducing new features.

Q&A Session

The episode concludes with a Q&A session, where Seth B asks Alex some technical questions that have been raised by the community. Topics range from the implementation of Pro in different layers of the metagraph to the prerequisites for different nodes. While some questions are too technical to be answered in this setting, the session provides valuable insights into the workings of the Constellation Network.

Conclusion

Episode 49 of Hypergraph Hour provides a comprehensive overview of the Euclid SDK, the currency framework, and the roadmap for future releases. It's an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the technical aspects of the Constellation Network and the exciting developments on the horizon.
