Horizontally Scalable Blockchain System Launches 'Flagship' Membership Portal

A horizontally scalable Directed Acyclic Graph blockchain system that aims to cater to consumer-grade applications has launched the Orion membership portal where members of its ecosystem can communicate and contribute to the network, with the company announcing its DAG token has listed on KuCoin.

Constellation Labs says the capacity of its network is proportional to user adoption - with a partitioned consensus allowing the network to scale the number of transactions per second on an infinite basis.

Its membership portal, Orion, is described as Constellation's "Flagship product." A free tier of membership is available for those who want to view the portal's message boards and various channels, and developers can stake DAG tokens in order to access Orion's premium features.

Constellation is currently preparing to launch its permissioned testnet at the beginning of August - and the start-up is accepting applications to run testnet nodes.

Participants have the potential to earn DAG tokens based on how many transactions they validate during the testing period.

The company says there are other ways for developers and community members to earn tokens, too.

Brendan Playford, the chief executive of Constellation, told Cointelegraph: "We want to empower our community to help shape, build, and grow the ecosystem efficiently, while encouraging our developers and community members to stake their tokens."

It ensures members of the ecosystem can help improve and monitor the platform by harnessing the computing power of their laptops, smartphones and tablets - rewarding behavior that improves a node's reputation in the system.

Another way the company's ecosystem takes a different approach is through smart contracts, which are deployed as "microservices.

" Constellation describes them as off-chain applications executing smart contract logic - processes that can run concurrently.
