With messages no longer being retained and the inability to invite new members, we have outgrown the Slack platform for the Stratis Community. This is an issue that we are now solving.
As a result, we have selected Discord as our new community platform. This is a pivotal step in enabling our community to further grow, and we encourage developers to join and collaborate.
Discord boasts a number of key features; unlimited number of users, message retention and increased moderation.
Our existing Slack workspace will remain open, however, over the coming weeks, we will close the Slack workspace. This will be communicated in due course.
We would like to welcome everyone to join us in our new Discord. https://discord.gg/9tDyfZs

Stratis is pleased to announce a partnership with well-renowned C# Corner, the largest global community of C# developers. One of the goals of this partnership is to have more C# developers involved with blockchain technology and the Stratis platform. As Stratis has been developed from the ground-up in C# and .NET Framework, C# Corner provides the perfect environment to showcase Stratis’ technology. Stratis will also be attending future C# Corner conferences in various regions. Headquartered in Philadelphia (USA), C# Corner is a global community of 3 million members worldwide and the go to place for C# developers to learn, collaborate and share. C# Corner has 5 million monthly visitors publishing the latest news and content related to C# and .NET development. There are also over 35 C# Corner local user groups in various cities around the globe that organize a number of events and conferences within the USA and India. “Blockchain is one of the fastest growing technologies of 2017 and I’m really excited to have this opportunity with Stratis to bring blockchain learning to C# Corner members.”, said founder of C# Corner, Mahesh Chand. The Stratis blockchain development platform is both powerful and flexible, aimed at the use-cases of real-world enterprises. Stratis “Makes Blockchain Easy” for clients by taking a modular approach towards design, development, testing and deployment. “This is an exciting partnership that will allow the Stratis platform to be shared with the largest online C# community, resulting in greater exposure for our platform.”, said Chris Trew, CEO of Stratis Platform.
We are thrilled and excited to announce that the Silicon Valley based corporation, Gluon, will be joining the Stratis family as one of our flagship verified ICOs. We started this journey with the desire to use our flexible blockchain development platform to meet the needs of real world financial services and businesses, and in offering deployment and support services to Gluon before, during, and after their ICO, we are pleased to say we’re doing just that.
We have watched Gluon from afar, recognising that they were not simply another whitepaper idea, but a remarkable product with existing funding, impressive revenue and a global presence with offices across the US, UK, Sweden and India.
As a business we have always strived to work with like-minded clients who are pushing boundaries and forcing change, something Gluon is powerfully doing within the automotive manufacturing, distribution and retail industry. Gluon’s technology platform establishes a secure network of interconnected vehicles, allowing users to diagnose, track and monitor issues using IoT devices, AI and blockchain.
Combining existing vehicles as well as up and coming technologies such as hybrid, electric cars and self-driving, they are addressing a gap in the market and connecting both the old and current with the new.
Speaking about the latest partnership, Chris Trew, CEO and Founder of Stratis said that “security is paramount for both our businesses and we knew we would be well-aligned to work together, pushing both our organisations into the future-sphere.”
Having built Stratis from the ground up in C# and .NET Framework there’s a flexibility that comes with our solution, giving businesses like Gluon a comprehensive approach to their problems.
Stratis Identity App
The Stratis Identity iOS application is currently awaiting approval to be published to the Apple App Store.
The application is complete, and it is now dependant on the review and approval process. Release Date: Q1 2018 Stratis Sidechains
The Stratis Sidechain technology is based upon the Stratis Full Node. Extensive work has been undertaken to further develop our Stratis Sidechain offering and a number of core features are being implemented. This includes instant sidechain creation and methods to fund the sidechain from the mainchain.
The sidechain team are also working closely with the smart contracts team in order to enable enterprises to run smart contracts on their respective sidechains.
Another core feature of Stratis Blockchain-as-a-Service is the Stratis Blockchain Generation Technology. This has been made available as a separate offering to fulfil any immediate requirements to deploy blockchains for customers whilst the full Stratis Sidechain product is in development.
Alpha Release Date: Q1 2018 Stratis Smart Contracts
Stratis is working on providing a smart contracts solution that will cater for .NET developers by providing a comfortable and familiar development environment, as well as being performant and secure.
We are currently in the implementation phase and the overall architecture is in place. Work is progressing on the gas expenditure and persistent storage aspects of smart contracts.
The Stratis Blockchain Technology Platform is proving to be a first-class platform for C# sidechain and smart contract development and 2018 will be an exciting year for Stratis. Alpha Release Date: Q1 2018
Stratis is announcing an exciting milestone in our mission to provide blockchain services to the enterprise. We have achieved the capability to provide custom blockchains based on Stratis Blockchain Technology. This technology is ready today and can begin to be deployed to eagerly awaiting enterprise customers.
Our Stratis Blockchain Generation Technology allows the Stratis Consulting team to create a new blockchain along with wallets, mining and full node infrastructure running on .NET Core using C#. This makes digital asset issuance, custodianship, and ownership transfer on the blockchain a reality for all businesses.
The technology allows the creation of a private blockchain (with its own genesis block) and therefore a new coin. Bespoke versions of the Stratis Full Node are then deployed across the network and a blockchain is born. The blocks can then be mined using either ‘Proof of Work’ or ‘Proof of Stake’ mining. Wallets can be branded with your coin/asset and include your custom coin address scheme.
New public blockchains are also supported.
Customizations will also be available to enterprises that have bespoke requirements such as bigger block sizes, different block intervals or new consensus rules. And because these customizations can be rapidly developed on .NET Core in C# this opens a huge range of possibilities for the enterprise.
Stratis Blockchain Generation Technology works with Microsoft Azure or is deployable on premises or on other cloud network infrastructures.
The Stratis Full Node GUI alpha release is now available on Testnet and is yet another key milestone in our development roadmap.
This release contains the Stratis Full Node GUI which includes the following features:
Inclusion of Staking capability
Download of the entire Stratis blockchain
Supports the Stratis network with Block Validation and Transaction Relay
