Q3 2020: Completed Initiatives

Exchange Timing Questions:
- Ideally we are aiming to align mainnet timing with the exchange listing. However, we will not commit to providing specific timing for the exchange listing at this time. When we are comfortable with announcing a firm exchange listing date, we will provide those details via telegram and make announcements on all additional Konstellation social channels.
Konstellation — The What, How, and connection to DARC token:
- Konstellation was created to exclusively focus on the enhancement of blockchain technology development for the global financial services industry. Konstellation has three primary mandates: (i) innovative blockchain software development, (ii) supportive blockchain education and consulting services, and (iii) critical idea incubation for the Konstellation Network, a niche financial services ecosystem powered by a bespoke public blockchain built with Cosmos Tendermint technology. More details here can be found in the Konstellation White Paper here: Konstellation White Paper
VegaX— The What, How, and connection to DARC token:
- VegaX Holdings is a digital asset management platform that is designed to offer investment strategies and indices for the global investor community to make better risk-adjusted investments without the need for direct trading.
- The DARC token will be utilized in the roadmap to community based governance for the investment indices and strategies that are being developed at VegaX. The initial proposal on how this system may evolve is being discussed currently and will be shared broadly in the near future.
VegaX Fundraise — How much is being raised & what’s the relation to Konstellation’s ICO:
- The amount being raised for VegaX has not been finalized as of yet. This funding pool is a new set of investors that are strategically focused on the growth of the digital asset management ecosystem. We do believe that there will be overlap in execution from the teams at Konstellation and VegaX. There is a mix of both new developers and current Konstellation product developers working on VegaX.
As noted, you can submit additional questions via the Konstellation Community Q&A form and review answers provided as well. The team will provide responses to the outstanding questions on the Q&A form next week (the week of October 19th)! âś…
