Constellation Network and SIMBA Chain Strategically Collaborate to Communicate Data Interoperability Using Multiple Blockchains for the US Air Force

The two industry leaders in government blockchain have teamed up to develop a critical joint solution that aims to be a secure federal communications standard

SAN FRANCISCO, 18 May 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Constellation Networka decentralized network and Web3 blockchain ecosystem, today announced a strategic partnership with SIMBA chain—a cloud-based, multi-blockchain enterprise development platform. As Constellation enters into its next historic blockchain contract with the US Air Force, they were tasked with choosing a chain-agnostic and open blockchain framework to take part in the effort. While the Department of Defense (DoD) sees smart contract functionality as most important, Constellation wanted to align with a reliable, flexible, extensible and enterprise-ready solution.

During this contract effort, Constellation Network and SIMBA Chain will produce a bridge that demonstrates blockchain data interoperability in a simulated DoD environment using the Constellation Network Layer 0 (L0) standard. L0 will act as a “chain of chains”, supporting emotionless data exchange between blockchains and the possibility of redundancy. Specifically, the L0 standard will use other Web3 blockchains for data transport and capacity redundancy through a resilient network reserve. The deliverable is the ability for multiple blockchain networks to securely talk to each other.

In addition to this initiative, Constellation is working with SIMBA Chain in their efforts to orchestrate mission-critical data using smart contracts to support multi-author data exchange applications for participating federal commercial partners.

In collaboration with SIMBA, Constellation will showcase the power of their Hypergraph Transfer Protocol (HGTP) that offers scalable, secure data validation alongside the world-class SIMBA Blocks platform, consisting of several industry-leading blockchain protocols. “We’ve tracked the commercial and federal momentum SIMBA Chain has generated over the past four years, successfully positioning itself as a mission-critical, enterprise-ready solution for the public sector,” said Benjamin Diggles, Chief Strategy Officer, and co-founder of Constellation Network. “We have great respect for their team and the quality of what they have built, which made this partnership an easy decision. SIMBA’s commitment to federal and corporate excellence along with their proven track record make this partnership a perfect match.”

“SIMBA Chain’s inception came from a DARPA grant – and we have continued to work with various Departments of Defense to solve unique problems using blockchain. We look forward to expanding these efforts and partnering with Constellation to provide a blockchain-agnostic environment” said Ian Taylor, CEO and co-founder of SIMBA Chain. “This is just the beginning of our collaboration with Constellation Network to bring blockchain to the public sector.”

This joint effort is one of many indicators that the federal government no longer views blockchain and decentralization as a nice-to-have, but mission-critical. With pressure building from the commercial space for the Department of Defense to adopt Web3 solutions, this partnership represents a significant step in the transition to adoption.
