Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Constellation Network is a legitimate, established Layer 0 protocol with significant validation via US Air Force Phase II contracts and the acquisition of Dor (hardware traffic mining). The project demonstrates real-world utility in data assurance and DePIN sectors. However, the submission quality is poor; claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' reach are demonstrably false and hyperbolic, necessitating penalties in traction and reach metrics. Despite the submitter's low effort, the project's verifiable market cap (~$60M) and government partnerships justify a score reflecting a 'Much larger scale' entity than the calibration baseline.

Project Details

Description
Constellation provides an open Web3 framework that is made today and meant for tomorrow. We believe that designing a better future includes interoperability of systems that play well with existing Web2 applications. Our technology is capable of tokenizing any data type on a massive scale, allowing anyone to own a piece of the web or build data-driven products and services that reach every corner of our shared universe.\n\nIn the future, almost everything will have aspects that live on-chain, but current infrastructure is still young and volatile. Developers are required to learn new tools and languages across multi-layered scaling schemes with potential security vulnerabilities and limited use cases centered around crypto speculation and exchange trading.\n\nWhat’s the Solution?\n\nOver the last five years, Constellation has developed an alternative blockchain network and Layer 0 infrastructure technology, called Hypergraph, which is faster, cheaper, and more secure than traditional blockchain infrastructure. This provides a scalable framework for developers to build Layer 1 applications with any data dependency. \n\nThrough our approach, we have secured multiple working contracts with the United States Air Force. This has not only validated our technology but has allowed the US government the ability to explore new use cases for blockchain technology, such as data assurance. \n\nConstellation is the first vertically stacked ecosystem, including a Layer 0 base-layer decentralized network infrastructure, application support and documentation to help developers build flexible web 3 applications, the Lattice Gateway for projects in our ecosystem to market their technology and cryptocurrency, and a hardware division featuring the Dor Traffic Miner, or DTM. Now in partnership with Helium, FourSquare, and Snowflake - the DTM collects data and rewards people in our $DAG cryptocurrency. \n\nJoin our Discord to stay in the loop: https://discord.gg/ESQmGwat
