Stratis Smart Contracts in C# Alpha Release


Stratis are proud to announce the alpha release of Stratis Smart Contracts in C#.
A significant amount of time and effort has gone into developing a new approach to Smart Contracts, ensuring the product is easy to learn and the most inclusive platform for developers and businesses.
Stratis has engineered the first smart contracts platform built entirely from the ground up in native C# on the .NET framework, the most popular enterprise programming language on the most widely-used enterprise framework.
This makes it easier to integrate into existing enterprise architectures than other platforms, Stratis Smart Contracts in C# opens many doors previously blocked due to computing language barriers. Stratis will soon also provide support for the functional programming language F#, particularly popular in the finance sector.
“We believe smart contracts are one of the backbones of blockchain as a transparent, decentralized marketplace, and that the more inviting you can be to get people to join that marketplace, the faster blockchain will be adopted” says Stratis CEO Chris Trew. “Our foundation in C# and .NET programming broadens the world of smart contracts immediately, and we look forward to seeing what people do with it.”

Several other blockchain companies have launched smart contracts offerings, but required development in an entirely different programming language or a new digital ecosystem with new languages, decompilers and integrated development environments (IDEs). Stratis Smart Contracts in C# builds upon an established and popularized framework, language and ecosystem. Therefore, it is more readily poised for wider adoption as a smart contract standard.
Below is a technical overview of the Stratis Smart Contract in C# offering at the recent Blockchain Expo, London.

“Stratis believes blockchain will change the world, and we are creating products that make this new world as inclusive and welcoming as possible,” Trew says. “Stratis Smart Contracts in C# is designed to welcome developers.”

Development Update


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 Blockchain Generation Technology


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.

Breeze Wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol Beta Release


This version of the Breeze Wallet includes the Breeze Privacy Protocol feature as well as an enhanced user interface. It also features the Masternode Client Discovery protocol where the blockchain is used to discover, validate and connect to a Masternode which provides the privacy service. This discovery process is undertaken in a decentralized and trustless manner that is resistant to disruption.
The release is a private Mainnet beta to select community members. This environment allows the select community members and our developers to work closely with one another to monitor wallets and privacy transactions allowing every privacy cycle to be verified. Due to the nature of the technology we are investing in an extended private beta phase prior to moving to an open beta on Mainnet.
Enhancements made to both the Breeze Wallet interface and the Masternode Client Discovery Protocol have also been incorporated into our public Testnet release.
Download the Breeze wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol (Testnet) from the link below. The wallet will then automatically discover and connect to an available Testnet Masternode.

Packages are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
