Hi Guys! Here’s your week at Parachute (23 Aug – 29 Aug’19):

The Tiproom is now officially one of the most active channels across Telegram. Within hours of Cap’s tweet, It climbed to the 17th position. And how active is it you ask? Here’s a video from Richi to demonstrate that. The Merkle Hash covered ParJar in a featured article this week. Nice! Thanks K V (@okodoko) for writing the Greek translation of the Parachute whitepaper/shortpaper. Alexis declared that the #PAR4PAR lottery/staking competition has now entered stage 2 and has a new channel for it. Chris announced the start of the Parachute Racquet Bracket Challenge for the US Open. 100k PAR pot. No entry fee. Woot! Ian’s art trivia in TTR this week had a 25k PAR pool and was super fun.

The latest Constellation Technical Update covers upgrades in preparation for mainnet launch and the "three core technical pillars of Constellation". CTO Wyatt Meldman-Floch shared a walkthrough of the network stability testing. And finally, saving the best for the last, Constellation announced a partnership with the US Air Force for big data management in a bid to create secure data integration between previously isolated legacy systems. This. Is. Huge! No wonder it was covered by media platforms of all sizes – most notably, The Block, Cointelegraph and Coindesk. And memes of course! Haha. Following this bit of development, DAG is now on TradingView. Noice! The USAF partnership + ParJar partnership will also see a total of 30M DAG being burned. That is nearly 1% of total supply. And here’s some resources that helped Constellation bag the USAF deal: overview video, proposal document, proposal slides. Some parts are blacked out for obvious reasons. And that is how it’s done. Take notes, folks!
