Intro/Outro (00:01):

Welcome to Digital Transformers, the show that connects you with what you need to build, manage, and operate your digital supply chain. Join your host in a timely discussion on new and future business models with industry leading executives. The show will reveal global customer expectations, real world deployment challenges, and the value of advanced business technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and robotic process engineering. And now we bring you digital transformers.

Kevin L. Jackson (00:33):

Hello everyone. Kevin L. Jackson. I’m here with another episode of Digital Asset Innovators. This is a series that is sponsored by the National Digit Foundry, and what we do is we highlight innovation across the digital asset ecosystem by talking with and introducing some of the innovators in this space. And today I have an awesome opportunity to talk look Ted, and with Art from Constellation Sharing Network. So Ted Brown, what is a Constellation Network?

Altif Brown (01:08):

Thank you. So I’m t one of the co-founders of Constellation Network, and I also lead our global community digitally and physically in about 95, 96 countries, over a hundred thousand people whatnot. Cons Network is a Web3 infrastructure that allows anyone to launch their own tokens subnets called meta graphs, or take existing Web3 principles and retrofit them into Web two legacy systems as well. And so Cons Network is really a plug in place.

(01:35):

We have digital tools, it’s an ecosystem, so it really depends on how you want to use us, but we’re fearless scales infinitely with other blockchains.

Kevin L. Jackson (01:42):

Wow. And so what’s your role?

Art Seabolt (01:44):

Fortunately recently I have been added to the advisory board and also the CIO advisor as well for Constellation. So I’m pretty exciting about being a part of this team.

Kevin L. Jackson (01:55):

Wow, that sounds interesting. One thing I was doing a bit of research for you guys, and I found out you do a lot of work with the government. The government is not known for being leading edge of technology. This must be kind of leading edge does. So why

Art Seabolt (02:12):

I was fortunate enough to work with Constellation, my former work experience as a CIO for A DOD government contractor. And we were looking for some working with Constellation on the evolution of secure data protocols and secure content transfer. The data is really everything when it comes to information exchange with government agencies. That’s some of the biggest weak points. So with Constellation and the government sponsoring some opportunities for data exchange, encrypted and leveraging blockchain technologies, constellation definitely was founding a leader in innovation and scalability of data encryption and security. So it was very important. The government has definitely developed some traction on, it’s very attractive to them and to their vendors that they utilize for these contracts. So it’s pretty exciting. And watching Constellation continue to evolve and expand and scale to large institutions and mobile solutions sets has been a huge win for the government agencies that worked with in the past.

Altif Brown (03:20):

And also the cornerstone of Constellation is the HYPERGRAPH or HGTP, which enables secure information sharing to communication like a new rail to the internet. And so a lot of what we do within the government is also around collaboration, secure information sharing. Like we work with Space Size Act, for example, the Space Information Security Analysis Center, which is another public private partnership to share information securely back and forth between them to protect the non-terrestrial assets of America and for allies. So there’s a lot of different touch points that we have within the breadth of the United States government, but it’s all kind of expressed through secure mission sharing.

Kevin L. Jackson (03:55):

Well, you guys have some great traction. I mean these guys are doing that. So what made you even consider collaborating with the National Digit Foundry?

Altif Brown (04:06):

Well, besides you Kevin.

(04:10):

No, I mean the NF means great just enhancing or amplifying just blockchain education is really rewarding. Conservation Network, being a part of writing standard practices and frameworks globally as well as nationally, is something that’s important to us as founders. I mean, there’s reasons and just collaboration overall. And as a chain that pride itself on being interoperable and working and building bridges alongside some of our blockchain peers in other enterprises, we were able to really get in the weeds and collaborate on an important impactful step at the NDF.

Kevin L. Jackson (04:41):

I’ll tell you, I was really impressed with the cross chain capabilities that you agree and we’re getting operations at the NDF. That was one of the key things that drew us to compilation. And in fact, when we built our infrastructure and we leveraged you on top of the IBM Cloud, that’s something else powerful.

Art Seabolt (05:03):

I think you hit a real good point there is across chain and the with Constellation blockchain technology, they’ve really shown not just scalability but the interface capabilities with so many different technologies. And I think that’s very important. The world blockchain organizations are so focused on the financial perspectives or compliance in some areas where the Constellation with technology really gives us the opportunity to leverage IOT devices such as Door, which is very important. So it’s been really pretty amazing watching the scalability and ability for this technology to not just stay focused in an area, but really expand as of peak’s data with a global perspective. It really gives us so much opportunity. Gives everybody an opportunity to leverage technology.

Kevin L. Jackson (05:52):

I’m not going to let you go on that. He just said door, right? And everybody’s thinking the os, but it’s not the OOR, it’s the or, but it has something to do with foot traffic, right?

Altif Brown (06:06):

Yeah, you do. What is the door Technologies is company that required a few years ago, a lot of consultations. Ethos is putting the world’s data on chain. And so door technologies basically with foot traffic and monitors foot traffic when you go through doorways and door. And it allows, now that’s woven into our Web3 ecosystem. It allows the data, preneur data and entrepreneur those people to monetize their own foot traffic. So you can earn money just by walking through a doorway. And so an integration dtms are on our website, whatnot, and they connect. We have thousands of the world in the world. It’s one of the biggest mesh net that has ever existed in bce.

Kevin L. Jackson (06:45):

Talk about integration. So R, what’s the future of the collaboration between the NDF and Constellation Network?

Art Seabolt (06:54):

After being in the conference yesterday, listening to the different perspectives of the different team members of the NDF? I’m very excited about that collaboration and the expansion. Actually, the aspect of global warming monitoring was very exciting. I was like, wow, what a great thought process. And I thought about the integration of the consolation, the technology involved in that whole monitoring perspective. And I don’t want to say it’s going to be easy. It’s wonderful.

Altif Brown (07:26):

Yeah, that Benjamin Diggle, as my co-founder said yesterday, there’s not much we can’t do. We can put our heads together. So I mean,

Kevin L. Jackson (07:33):

thank you very much. The studies in town here. I mean yesterday we had the Space Force, we had the Department of Treasury, we had the National Science Foundation. So we’re going to talk with you more. And you guys are the infrastructure of leading, I guess, of information sharing workforce. So thank you very much. And with that come to the end of another episode of Digital Asset Innovative. Thank you very much for joining us and please visit the National Digit foundry@digiboundary.org.
