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!
