What Is Constellation?

About Constellation (DAG)

Constellation is a distributed network. It offers fast and scalable solutions for individuals or organizations that need to securely process and transfer data. In other words, Constellation is a protocol that uses a directed acyclic graph architecture to achieve a consensus that is theoretically capable of infinite scalability. DAG is the token used on Constellation's decentralized Hypergraph network. DAG is also referred to as the financial state channel of this network. As a cryptocurrency, DAG is intended to interconnect all network components. Thus, DAG provides both exchange and interaction between different government channels and nodes that make up the network. In addition, the DAG token can be used to launch a node in the Constellation Hypergraph protocol HGTP to validate data and transactions. DAG can also be applied to receive validator's rewards in this cryptocurrency.
