Panasonic and IBM Announce Partnership with Constellation Network

by

As an experienced technology analyst, I have closely followed the developments in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space for several years. The recent partnership between Panasonic, IBM, and Constellation Network to debut Hypergraph, a distributed ledger technology that aims to improve interoperability and composability across both Web3 and legacy Web2 networks, is an exciting development that I believe will have significant implications for the industry.

I’m here to share exciting news about a new partnership between Panasonic, a global tech powerhouse, IBM, another tech industry leader, and Constellation Network. Together, we’re embarking on an innovative journey to introduce Hypergraph – an advanced distributed ledger technology (DLT) now open for developers in both the Web2 and Web3 spheres.

According to the announcement, Hypergraph was developed over several years through contracts with the US Department of Defense and will be introduced at Constellation Network’s Global Metagraph Hackathon. It’s evident that tech giants are increasingly pouring significant resources into blockchain technologies as the crypto market rebounds from the bearish trend.

Significantly, the Metagraph Hackathon is an entirely virtual competition open to all developers at no cost for entry. The lack of fees attracts a large number of blockchain enthusiasts, allowing them to be part of Hypergraph’s introduction. The event commenced on July 15 and will continue until September 9.

Previously, Constellation entered into a collaboration with Mushe, a decentralized exchange (DEX), with the goal of challenging Uniswap and Pancakeswap’s dominance in the DEX market. Through this alliance, they aim to deliver cheaper transactions, seamless interoperability, and increased security for their users.

As a crypto investor, I’ve come across the term “Hypergraph” which is described by Ben Jorgensen, the CEO of Constellation Network, as “the foundational blockchain that interconnects multiple blockchains.” He explains that while developers are building independent networks to facilitate decentralized AI, tokenized assets, decentralized finance, and more, Hypergraph serves as the bridge that unites these networks and ensures interoperability, providing a robust infrastructure for securing their individual networks and validating data flows.

At the hackathon, Constellation will unveil its Metagraph technology in the application layer of their constellation. This application layer functions above Hypergraph and is compatible with any type of decentralized application (dApp) network or traditional Web2 platform, each with its distinct internal logic.

As someone who closely follows the latest developments in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, I can confidently say that Panasonic is not new to this space. Previously, it was reported by reputable sources like Coinspeaker that the electronics giant was planning to use the DCJPY cryptocurrency for tourist passes in Japan. This move showcases Panasonic’s forward-thinking approach towards integrating digital currencies into everyday life.

A Collaboration Focused on Interoperability

According to Constellation Network’s latest update, SIMBA Chain, Stardust Collective (SIFT to crypto platform), C14, National DigiFoundry (comprised of the US National Science Foundation, US Space Force, and US Department of the Treasury), Panasonic, and IBM are collaborating on this initiative. Their objective is to leverage the Hypergraph network and enhance “connectivity and compatibility” between Web3 and traditional Web2 networks.

“At the onset of this hackathon, Benjamin Diggles, as Chief Strategy Officer at Constellation Network, expressed that the potential applications of metagraphs are endless and there seems to be no boundary to their possible uses,” is a paraphrased version of your statement.

As someone who has attended numerous hackathons throughout my career, I can tell you that the upcoming event is particularly exciting due to its impressive lineup of judges. Not only will the submissions be evaluated on September 16, but we’ll also find out who the lucky winners are by September 30. The presence of esteemed individuals like Alan Boeme, a former CTO for both H&M and Coca-Cola, and David Beck, a US Space Force branch chief, adds an extra layer of credibility and anticipation to this competition. Their wealth of experience and expertise in their respective fields will no doubt lead to valuable insights and feedback for all participants. So mark your calendars and get ready to impress these industry leaders!
