We don't have any Airdrop or Bounty campaign at the moment.
Should this change I will of course announce it here.

If you want to know more about https://lattice.exchange/, a DeFi application built with Ethereum and Constellation’s Hypergraph Transfer Protocol (HGTP), here is the transcript of a very spontaneous AMA from last week:

A short explanation from Ben Jorgensen (the CEO) about the introduction of Lattice, the expected phases, cross- chain interoperability and more.

Hi All! I hope everyone is doing well. There has been a lot of questions rolling around in the community about Constellation, the teams commitment, and the Lattice Exchange. Constellation is always and will always be our main focus. Since the mainnet launch in May, our team has been working behind the scenes to develope a strategy on how we make the crypto community aware of Constellation and that we are not only a big data play, but we are an ecosystem just like Ethereum and Polkadot that any developer can build on.

We came up with the Lattice Exchange to highlight the Constellation Hypergraph ecosystem and what people can do with a economically and technologically scalable base layer protocol. Lattice Exchange is meant to showcase the features of Constellation and what you can build when the base layer protocol doesn't have gas fees and is a zero transaction network. It is meant to show the broader crypto industry what scalability is and to evolve the industry altogether. A few members from the core of Constellation are spearheading Lattice to show an end-to-end framework to build on Constellation and the power of our decentralized network. This is one application of many that will be built on Constellation, and we thought it would be best to have a few of the founders of Constellation kick off a rather big project like Lattice.

Our approach with Lattice is to show that many DeFi projects are just band aids on a non-scalable (both financially and economically) protocol. We are aggregating the best in class of DeFi and introducing those features in our Phase 1 MVP - to be release in the next couple of months. Shortly after, in Phase 2, we will introduce corss-chain interoperability between DAG and Ethereum and be one of the first to do cross-chain. This will open the doors to a true financial product on Constellation's Hypergraph through Lattice.

In the background, we are assembling a new team to build out Lattice while the core of Constellation continues to build and scale the base layer protocol. Lattice is helping the broader industry understand Constellation's role in the broader blockchain industry and position us as a competitor to Ethereum. At the core of Constellation, we are continuing to establish ourselves as a standard across multiple agencies in the Federal Government while continuing to beat milestones and timelines on engineering developments. Our current engineering milestones are to create real developer support and allow anyone to build applications, like Lattice, on Constellation.

The introduction of Lattice is only making it easier for people to understand Constellation. Constellation has traditionally been a very technical company, and through Lattice we will show the value of a scalable, fast, secure, and zero transaction network and the myriad of applications you can build when you interoperate between blokchain technologies and ecosystems as well as existing consumer applications in the real world. Data is the fundamental basis of any digital ecosystem, and the reason why we have taken our time to build real infrastructure tools that will bridge traditional centralized applications, data pipelines, software, and other blockchain ecosytems.

Lattice and Constellation are symbiotic and will help evangelize Constellation and $DAG. Lattice is helping more people understand Constellation and is being pioneered by the best in the space and backed buy some of the best partners in crypto.

Next week, Mathias and I will be doing a video to properly introduce the vision and the role of the Constellation Community. You are our foundation and we are just expanding the family!

OP is legendary but is it a REAL account or bought......hrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???

I checked it out and its his legit account -- been a German speaker the whole time, even when they were part of the ChipMixer campaign. Unfortunately I don't have anything else to add to this conversation, LOL. Sounds like it could potentially be an interesting project, or not, don't quote me.

this hope will reach the moon. I will buy it some

I heard about security when combining DAG + Smart contracts on one platform is no better than a conventional smart contract platform. What does the project do to increase the security of these smart contracts?
The project is written in Scala, this is a new language but few people use it. What are we going to do to encourage developers to build DAPPs on top of Constellation?
Does the project have any DAPP?

Instead of smart contracts, the concept to application support is based on microservices, also known as state channels. These microservices are running in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
In the future you will have an SDK to interact via an API. The goal is also to be language agnostic. (probably not from the start)

Further details can be found in the technical whitepaper: https://github.com/Constellation-Labs/whitepaper-technical/blob/master/constellation_whitepaper_v0.1.pdf

The first Application built on Constellation's Hypergraph will be Lattice Exchange, a DeFi solution.

Lattice is a uniswap style DEX with unique AMM's algos and will be the bridge between Constellations Hypergraph and Ethereum

Just wanted to let you know that Lattice Exchange (the first application built on Constellation) is running a Bounty Campaign right now.
Rewards are paid out in LTX and DAG.

Lattice is a uniswap style DEX with unique AMM's algos and will be the bridge between Constellations Hypergraph and Ethereum  

For a regular crypto trader, what would be the main advantage of using the Lattice exchange?
Can you give us the layman's term with respect to its edge maybe over Uniswap?
How about the transaction fees involved? Also, is it dumb-friendly?  
Because sometimes if it seems too complicated to use, traders will not go to the exchange and just use the exchange where they used to trade with.

Hey thanks for you interest!

So lattice exchange will be be an advantage for crypto traders based on several reasons:

1. Lower trading fees via usage of the Hypergraph

2. minimum slippage via (cross) liquidity aggregation

3. maximum profitability for traders and liquidity providers based on unique AMM algos for differing asset pairs

4. Liquidity farming incentives with the LTX token which at the same time will also be needed for the governance process


Yes for sure, UI/UX is extremely important for user adoption and i think the founders have that in strongly in mind because they want to create a platform which is suitable for mass adoption!

In case you have more questions please visit the lattice exchange ann - lets not hijack the DAG thread anymore

A clarification question, what the relation of this coin to lattice exchange? and seems that this dag coin is an old project but it seems good and potential, I saw it in CMC and it has a good exchange but the dev need to add more listing for this coin.

[piebeyb]

DAG + Smart Contract, but it is listed on IDEX, is it an erc20 token, I am a little confused about the project I think it has its own blockchain with the DAG concept, but it is listed on IDEX means this project is part of the ETH network, but I will read read again

[aundroid]

I can only recommend to read the Vision Paper from Ben and Mathias. It should answer all questions.

The ERC20 DAG was also listed on IDEX, Hotbit, HitBTC.
End of April the Mainnet went live and there was a token swap. (ERC20 DAG -> Hypergraph DAG)
Kucoin is the only exchange where you can trade Hypergraph DAG at the moment.
I should probably change this in the startup post to avoid confusion in the future.

Changing the coin thicker is good idea, because there's a lot of coin now who have the same thicker and it brings confusion and risk if you accidentally transfer your coin in the wrong address because it's the same thicker.

There is only 1 Coin Ticker symbol: DAG
Nothing will be changed.

There was a token swap from ERC20 to Mainnet DAG almost half a year ago. All ERC20 tokens that were not swapped became worthless!
