Constellation $DAG

Constellation is an innovative crypto project that introduces a new approach to a decentralized network. Instead of following the traditional blockchain model which is present in platforms such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, Constellation uses Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology which allows the system to scale horizontally. This revolutionary model is often compared to a potluck party, where every new node (guest) added to the network brings more resources, thereby, enhancing the scalability and efficiency of the system.

What is DAG?

A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a concept derived from mathematics and computer science. In the context of Constellation, the DAG model is not exactly a blockchain, but it is inspired by principles of decentralization. The unique feature of DAG is its ability to scale with each added node to the network. This is akin to a potluck party where each guest contributes food or drinks. Thus, the more guests (or nodes), the more resources there are for the party (or network) to keep running.

Is Constellation a Blockchain?

No, Constellation is not a traditional blockchain. While it maintains the decentralized nature of blockchain networks, it bypasses their scalability issues by using DAG. This makes Constellation part of the next generation of decentralized networks alongside platforms like Hashgraph and IOTA, which have also adopted the DAG model.

What is a Microservice?

A "Microservice" is a modular approach to building large applications. Each module in the system supports a specific business goal and communicates with other modules through a simple, well-defined interface. This approach is used in Constellation to build a scalable and efficient network. For instance, Uber utilizes the microservice approach, where a unified app brings together the driver app, the rider app, and the corporate team app.
