Today, we are proud to release the free Stratis Identity app for Apple iOS devices. Built on top of the Stratis platform, this showcases personal and corporate identity management capabilities on the Stratis blockchain. The Stratis Identity app delivers a real use case for users to attest their identity on an immutable ledger and share that data with others.
Stratis CEO Chris Trew explains, “Mass adoption of blockchain will only come through simplicity, and Stratis Identity offers a streamlined way to verify one’s identity through popular social media accounts, using pre-existing Microsoft, LinkedIn or Google account information. Once one’s true identity is established through our app, a Stratis Identity can be shared securely without ever exposing any specific user’s sensitive personal data.”
Stratis Identity app creates a permanent, unique record of a person or organization’s identity on the Stratis blockchain and provides permission-only access to that identification. Each online social media profile has information linked to it (username, e-mail, job title, etc.) stored by the account provider.
Key features of the Stratis Identity app include:

• Creation of a unique Stratis Blockchain identity, registered and secured on the Stratis blockchain
• Attest your identity by logging into a selection of social media accounts such as Microsoft, Google and LinkedIn
• Proof of ownership of online accounts via sharing your unique public addresses and transaction hashes
• Validate other people’s Stratis Identities using the built-in verification tool

The free Stratis Identity app is available for iOS devices using the download link below:

Chris Trew stated “Our Q1/Q2 2018 development roadmap was intentionally aggressive in terms of what we wanted to achieve. I’m proud of what the team has delivered, with the introduction of important updates to the Stratis Platform. The ability to run smart contracts and to provision sidechains opens up a world of potential applications that enterprises can build on the Stratis Platform. I look forward to seeing the creative innovations third-party developers will realise.”
Stratis is looking forward to the second half of 2018 and will be publishing the Q3/Q4 roadmap in the coming weeks.

Stratis is excited to announce the launch of the Stratis Academy. Our goal is for Stratis Academy to be the learning hub for developers to gain first-hand experience in blockchain technology.
For this first release of the Stratis Academy, there is a library of content that covers the foundation of blockchain and learning modules for individual products developed on the Stratis platform. Each chapter will enrich any developers keen to learn about the Stratis Platform and our product offerings.
To get started with the Stratis Academy, simply go to https://academy.stratisplatform.com

We have now completed the development of the Stratis Academy Learning Management System( LMS). The Stratis Academy LMS will combine both lessons and a Community Management System to create an environment where developers can learn and collaborate with other developers learning blockchain development.
The next steps are to build the core technical content and walk-through materials. The course content will range from getting started with the Stratis blockchain to developing applications utilising the Stratis Development Framework.
Community features like profiles, discussion boards, and groups, will allow developers to learn faster together with one another.
We are actively working on the structure of courses and the core content. This is the key focus for Stratis Academy going into Q1 2018 and we are certain we will achieve the Stratis academy roadmap milestone ontime or earlier.
