SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Constellation Labs (Constellation) is excited to announce it is now a member of Hyperledger. Hyperledger, hosted under The Linux Foundation, was created as an open source collaboration with the aim to advance blockchain technologies across a variety of industries, and includes over 270 members to date. With the addition of Constellation, the multi-project, multi-stakeholder effort now includes over 10 business blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. Contributions of code as well as development from the community have enabled the rapid advancement of frameworks, which have been reflected in milestones such as the recent release of Hyperledger Fabric 1.2.

About Constellation Labs
Constellation is a consumer and enterprise grade distributed ledger technology that enables the world’s smart devices and machines to seamlessly interact and transact. The network aggregates the resources and bandwidth of internet connected devices, securing transactions and ensuring high throughput through a dynamically partitioned DAG (directed acyclic graph) architecture. Each interaction or transaction is verified through a unique consensus model. Transactions flow through the network allowing it to remain stable without every node having to individually verify before the next rounds of consensus is performed. This method incorporates a node’s historical participation into delegate selection, observation from local nodes, and rewards benevolent behavior. The Constellation network is underpinned by an incentivized community portal called ORION.
