Stratis at the Blockchain Expo - London, U.K.

Written by

February 2, 2017

This past week has been incredibly rewarding for the Stratis team and our community. Our participation in the Blockchain Expo held in London exceeded all our expectations. We can say today, without any doubt, that it was a resounding success: our booth was outstanding and the quantity and quality of attendees with whom we had the opportunity to interact was truly amazing.It was also very gratifying to meet so many people that already knew about Stratis and wanted to learn more. We were particularly thrilled by the opportunity of working together in public as a team, and greet and meet in person with members of our amazing community and visitors to our exhibition booth.From the business perspective we are very pleased to have tested and validated in the real world our assumptions about the Stratis project. We had the opportunity of pitching our project to very sophisticated business people and talented developers, and the response has been simply overwhelming.

These past two days have been some of the best I have experienced, everything I believed about the potential of Stratis has been confirmed by decision makers and many C level executives. (Chris Trew - Stratis CEO and Founder)

We received visitors from all over the world: USA, Europe, Asia. It was amazing to show Stratis for the first time to people from Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey...We have established between 20-30 new CEO and C-level contacts from companies ranging from Fortune 500 to small startups. We've got very interesting exchanges with representatives from Microsoft, Jaguar, Reuters, Cashaa, AIA Group, RBC Capital Markets, Deutsche Bank, etc. From many of them we have already received follow up notes with the most positive reviews and outlining their expectations of working with us. We have even received the first indications of interest in potential financial backing to our operation going forward. We expect to continue conversations and solidifying these relationships in the upcoming days. Also we are already laying up plans to get started with the development of proof of concept requests we have received.Similarly, we also had the opportunity of meeting with dozens of senior developers and consultants. We got a deeper understanding of how to better and faster integrate our services into Microsoft's blockchain offering. We are working on the tech aspects for deeper integration.

Summarizing a really good day lots of nice people, many showed interest in Stratis and I had a chat with the Microsoft guys on project Bletchley. It turns out I worked with their boss a few years back (what a great connection!) looking forward for tomorrow. (Dan Gershony, Stratis Blockchain Lead Developer)

As the event wraps up, we are left with the task of developing these new relationships, with the ultimate goal of converting them into paid customers of the Stratis solutions. We will be informing the community, as our efforts mature and translate into firm partnerships and services being delivered.Following up, the Stratis action moves to the USA. We expect to have very productive meetings between Stratis senior management and key local players, that will help us lay down the foundations for our expansion into the Americas markets. Our agenda also includes key definitions for the Stratis business model, technological development roadmap and corporate organization.At the end of February we will be attending and exhibiting at the largest C# Developers meetup in the USA West Coast. Chris, Dan and Poly will be attending this special invitation to bring Stratis to this gathering of almost 1000 top C# developers in the USA. Additionally we will have the opportunity of developing our relationship with the C# Corner community and its founder, and explore business opportunities together in the US.We are finishing preparations for our participation at the C# Corner Conference 2017 in India. We have been confirmed as Platinum Sponsor of the event and will have multiple opportunities of showcasing Stratis to the largest C# developer community in the world: A keynote presentation by our CEO, a session by Dan Gershony and a workshop on the eve of the event. We expect this event to set the stage for our commercial expansion in Asia, with local partnerships and hopefully a strong developer base in the region.We want to take this opportunity to thank all the collaborators and team members that have helped us with the organization and preparation of these first steps for Stratis. The support of the community has been phenomenal through these days and motivates us to do more, faster, and better.Last, but not least, we end the week with the nice news of Stratis being added to the reputed exchange Litebit. You can now buy, sell, deposit and withdraw Stratis at Litebit.As we usual, we end these notes with a "Stratis Future is Bright! " Have a nice weekend!

Blockchain for Enterprise

The way enterprises store and process data doesn’t stay static. New technologies disrupt the status quo. Imagine 10 years from now. It is not far-fetched to predict that ideas currently in their infancy will, by then, have established dominance. Blockchain, with its inherent redefinition of how valuable assets are stored and accessed is one of those technologies. Blockchain, as devised for Bitcoin, was used to store an abstract asset. The network was public, provided a level of anonymity, and was decentralized in a way that fitted Bitcoin’s philosophy. However, enterprise assets often exist in the real world in a situation where there is good reason to know who has the rights to access the data. A dogmatic approach won’t work; developing blockchain for the enterprise requires that you cherry-pick blockchain innovations, and adapt them, on a case-by-case basis. Stratis is positioned at the heart of the blockchain industry and its focus is the enterprise. So, let’s explore some of the ways we see blockchain and the enterprise coming together over the next few years. Moving forward with people you thought were your competitors Who to trust with your data can be an issue for enterprises, and this issue has led to enterprises not cooperating with other entities. In these situations, data can be duplicated from organization to organization while, at the same time, the risk of being out-of-sync with other data sources remains. Blockchain has been described as “trustless” largely because one of Bitcoin’s innovations was to enable you to transact with a level of anonymity; when everybody has an immutable copy of the data, that’s all you need to know who has what before and after a transaction. Although anonymity is not usually desirable on a blockchain designed for enterprises, the design behind an enterprise blockchain is still unique in that it reduces the level of trust required by participating organizations. Providing an environment where an enterprise can share data with an organization they do not “trust” showcases one of blockchain’s revolutionary cornerstones in an enterprise setting. Sharing can drive new value in a consortium Enterprises need to work with official legislation. If the behaviour of the organization is called into question or in the case of a routine audit, it is fundamental that the data depicts the truth. The permissioned model often used by enterprise blockchain allows for a selective transparency. This enables regulatory bodies to hold and access sensitive data as and when required. However, transparency is not a blockchain’s only advantage here. The shared data approach can also help build towards a uniformed, standardized approach to regulation across an industry sector. Pioneering enterprises, who understand the need for regulation, can adopt a blockchain-based strategy which, for example, could receive widespread adoption relatively soon after 50% of the industry sector is signed up. Not every blockchain solution needs a crypto token Sometimes blockchain and cryptocurrency tokens are mentioned as if they are inseparable. This isn’t the case. For some business models there is no requirement for a token, and Stratis can implement a DLT solution on a private network to suit these models. However, some enterprises might benefit from some form of token. The token could potentially be listed on a cryptocurrency exchange, on the other hand, it could have a more limited distribution. Rethinking the token as a store of value for enterprises could involve loyalty point schemes and micro-payments, with an emphasis on value and convenience for customers rather than speculation. Disruptive technologies require radical enablement Blockchain innovations can also go hand-in-hand with other emergent technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) is turning formerly dumb objects into sophisticated sensors capable of both streaming and processing data. Machine learning is being applied to these data flows to identify trends and discover previously hidden correlations and connections. A central question here is which method of data storage can facilitate this influx of data, which has such applicability to enterprises. The very fact the IoT opens so many possibilities makes the idea of holding it in traditional out-of-date data silos. Blockchain can, however, evolve with IoT. You need to do things differently if you want a different result Enterprises demand that technology serves them and brings visible benefits. Adapting blockchain to create data solutions for enterprises requires a flexible mindset that takes the strengths of blockchain, as applicable to each case. Perhaps most importantly, blockchain also gives enterprises the opportunity to take another look at their data strategy in tandem with other players in their industry sector.
