I saw that the founder Brendan Playford, the CEO & Founder of Constellation $DAG as left the project and I logically ask on telegram the reasons. This earned me an immediate ban.
I do not say it's a scam, but I have seen these methods of responding with banns only in shitcoins or scam projects.
The community is also very virulent, one of the worst I've ever seen...
Their only argument that they concluded a “deal” with Air Force, but advertisements and partnerships make not everything, like UnionPay with HPB or the British islands with LIFE, it does not prevent the project from dying.
But watch out with this "deal" they just joined a program like many other startups https://www.afsbirsttr.af.mil/
The news is oversold by the team, but the market never lies. It would be the partnership of the century but the project remains in microcap and this from years...
Personally, I prefer to remove everything from this project, too many redflags, we have no transparency on the team and the methods are worthy of dictator communism
I'll let you ask the question or make your own opinion or argue here.

Constellation Labs is excited to announce our sponsorship of the renowned mobility ecosystem, MOBI
https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-announcement-constellation-joins-mobility-open-blockchain-initiative-mobi/
Hi Constellation Community,
Constellation Labs is excited to announce its sponsorship of the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI). Constellation joins the renowned mobility ecosystem which is accelerating the development of blockchain-enabled vehicle data and mobility services standards. The aim of this is to make mobility more efficient, accessible, greener and safer using blockchain related technologies. Some of their current partners include BMW, GM, Ford and Bosch, as well as the recent addition of The World Economic Forum (WEF).
MOBI’s Chairman and CEO Chris Ballinger says that “the community is working hard to create a minimum viable ecosystem that aims to standardize blockchain and related technologies to bring transparency and trust to the industry, consumers, and communities while reducing the risk of fraud, frictions and transaction costs in mobility. With the on-boarding of new members, we are adding diversified expertise that ranges from components and vehicle check to insurance, technology solutions, and rewards, as well as more focus on collaboration between private and public sector."
Benjamin Diggles, VP of Business Development at Constellation Labs, had this to say about the partnership:
"Partnering with the MOBI consortia is key to our core vision of accelerating possibility in the mobility space. Constellation is building a protocol with the ability to usher in enterprise adoption through real world use cases. We are excited for the myriad of potential applications and to contribute to this world-class organization.”

Sincerely,
The Constellation Team

Constellation Update - TechCrunch Disrupt, Ambassador Program, AirDrop 3 & More
https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/weekly-update-tech-crunch-disrupt-ambassador-program-airdrop-3-more/
Dear Constellation Community,
It’s been an incredible couple of weeks here at Constellation Labs, and we’re excited to recap all that has transpired.
TechCrunch Disrupt proved to be an enormous success. We spent three days meeting the wider SF tech community, connecting with business leaders, developers, and entrepreneurs who expressed interest in what we’re building and how their projects can potentially integrate with our distributed ledger technology. The conversations were truly inspiring, and they’ve helped us further refine our product vision and how we communicate as a company. On Friday, Ben Jorgensen joined an amazing panet of industry leaders from Mozilla and IBM to discuss the future of blockchain enterprise adoption.
Following that talk, Wyatt and Ryle gave an in-depth overview of Constellation’s technology and how we are improving and differentiating ourselves from legacy blockchain protocols. The reverberations from this presentation keep coming, with attendees from the conference continually getting in touch to find out more. While at our booth, we captured a series of short interviews with the wider team which you can view below. Stay tuned, as the panel and workshop videos will be shared next week.
As if TechCrunch wasn’t enough of a success, last week also marked the launch of our Ambassador program. We’ve seen a huge amount of press coverage and interest with applications rolling in. Check out our team’s interviews from TechCrunch below, and read on for further Ambassador program news and the regular engineering, product, and Airdrop updates.

Product Update
Features
- Built and released Metamask validator that checks whether a user is on version 4.9.2 and above on Chrome and Firefox. Users are asked to upgrade before going through any of our Metamask flows if they’re on an older version.
- Updated upgrade/downgrade and airdrop flows with new Metamask images reflecting the UI on 4.9.2+.
- Users can now link their Facebook account to Orion under Settings.
- We updated the Airdrop flow to support dynamic sign up. Users who have been airdropped 250 DAG are directed to join the Community tier while users with 1,000 DAG are directed to join the Developer tier.
- We officially launched Points to DAG (PTD) to the community. All users can use PTD including Orion members on the Free tier.
- We built a monitor that tracks ETH in the wallet that holds PTD DAG to ensure we always have enough gas for transactions.
- We built version 1 of the Smart contract and updated it to their repo. Work paused for now.
Engineering Update
- Peer authentication and banning flow updated for REST endpoints.
- Fixing bug in Actor dispatcher thread pool allocations. Added more separation boundaries between actors and futures.
- More refactoring of schema to incorporate new edge flow, more metadata added to DB.
- Updated genesis to add another distribution tip to pass validation.
- Work on balancing max graph width vs. the number of active tips.
- Safer database update models for multi-threading transaction handling support.
- Refactoring whole flow with new metrics collections and updating tests to reflect changes.
- Changing checkpoint validation logic to prevent excess recalculations, requires schema updates to DB metadata.
- Began migrating resolver from bundles to edges.
AirDrop 3 Announcment
AirDrop 3 is approaching. The next round of emails will be sent out on Tuesday, September the 18th, kick-starting the KYC process. Remember to complete your application by Friday the 21st. If successful, the tokens will be staked for access to the Orion Portal and released 6 months from the completed KYC date. You will not be able to sell your tokens prior. On that date, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access your staked tokens via Orion.
Ambassador Program
Earlier this week, we announced the Constellation Global Ambassador Network. The Ambassador Network is a global network of blockchain and crypto enthusiasts focused on creating strong word of mouth networks and growing local communities for blockchain projects that align with Constellation’s core mission — to advance the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology in a way that is truly decentralized and open to all. Here’s a quote from one of our first ambassadors, Ray Rehito Hatoyama:
“In 5 years, I believe blockchain will become the core technology for innovation, and I believe in Constellation Labs's vision to bring decentralized technology to the next level. I saw an ambitious dream in Constellation. Constellation will take a big role of upgrading blockchain technology to a universal common language, and thus enhancing global connectivity, such as internet and mobile, that shaped the world to how it is today. I'm happy to be an Ambassador of Constellation Labs, helping to continue to propel innovation, together.” - Constellation Ambassador and former Hello Kitty Managing Director, Ray Rehito Hatoyama
In addition to Hatoyama, early Constellation Ambassadors include Sebastian Spitzer, New Business Specialist at REHAU; Ratul Saha, Founder of GetonChain; Julian Jung, Co-founder, and Partner of Game Theory Crypto Group; and Jacob Mullins, Partner at Shasta Ventures.
