Stratis InterFlux now fully supports the Ethereum blockchain, enabling seamless transitions from the native STRAX Token to wSTRAX. The launch of the wSTRAX ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain will coincide with a newly created liquidity pool on UniSwap between wSTRAX and ETH, enabling STRAX to take full advantage of UniSwaps automated liquidity protocol. Stratis has received confirmation of USD 150,000 being made available for the wSTRAX/ETH pool, allowing token holders to take immediate advantage of the UniSwap DEX. The wSTRAX token is not limited to UniSwap and can be leveraged, integrated and utilized on any DeFi solution or platform available on the Ethereum blockchain.
The two contracts controlling the issuance of wSTRAX on the Ethereum blockchain can be found below:
https://etherscan.io/token/0xa3c22370de5f9544f0c4de126b1e46ceadf0a51b This process of transitioning from STRAX to wSTRAX is made seamless through integration into the latest STRAX Wallet offerings. Navigate to the send pane and select InterFlux as a destination to simply “swap” STRAX for wSTRAX in a trustless manner. Please be aware that there is a minimum STRAX Token amount enforced due to high fees on the Ethereum blockchain. This release is accompanied by the latest STRAX Wallet release, available for all major operating systems. Download links can be found on the wallet page. Join Stratis’s ever-growing community to discuss the further advantages of the developments mentioned above and how the ‘wrapping’ of other blockchain tokens can benefit Stratis Blockchain Technologies.
Stratis is happy to announce that the ICO Platform is now listed and available for deployment via the Azure Marketplace, making it the first Blockchain-Based Web App solution available on the Marketplace.
Chris Trew stated “Utilizing the Stratis ICO Platform on Azure allows ICO Administrators to leverage the advantages of Azure’s PaaS offerings. Removing the headaches with typical standalone virtual machine deployments that are all too common. Our solution tied with Microsoft Azure allows an ICO Administrator to ensure their data is safe and their ICO is always available.”
Following the May release of The Stratis ICO Platform, which allows an ICO to be deployed in minutes, we have implemented a number of enhancements.
Firstly, the Stratis ICO Platform now allows the issuer to screen out participants by geography. By integrating functionality from IP Stack, the ICO platform now identifies an ICO participant’s geography by their IP address, with a screening list to limit the use of VPNs and TOR. This enhancement is an important step for ICO issuers that wish to avoid contributions from a particular geography for regulatory or legal reasons. It is now straightforward to screen out contributions from the US, for example. This update further enhances the utility of the Stratis ICO Platform, making it even easier to run a compliant ICO.
The Stratis ICO Platform utilises Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets. This provides added security for issuers as funds collected during the ICO are not stored on a server. As part of today’s announced enhancements, the Stratis Breeze Wallet now includes additional features required to display ICO contributions that breach the address gap-limit. This update means issuers using the Breeze Wallet with its new ‘Advanced Tab’ can very reliably and simply retrieve their ExtPubKey, generate addresses and resynchronize to a given date.
The Stratis ICO Platform is now available via the Azure Marketplace: https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/stratis-group-ltd.stratis-ico-platform-windows
The Breeze Wallet is available here: https://github.com/stratisproject/Breeze/releases/latest

Stratis is seeking the ‘best of the best’ with a series of 12 sequential puzzles, each more challenging than the last. Each task tests general logic, blockchain knowledge, cryptography and aptitude with the Stratis Platform itself.
Chris Trew, Stratis CEO added: “Finding talented blockchain developers is notoriously difficult as demand far outweighs supply. The puzzle is our way of connecting with new talent, but equally the winner might choose to walk away with the cash prize, and that’s absolutely fine too.”
The top prize, equivalent to over $10,000, will remain locked in a wallet controlled by the private key that is recovered after solving all 12 of the Puzzle’s tasks. Each task reveals a single word from the mnemonic phrase that provides access to the wallet holding the prize fund.
There are also two development roles up for grabs on the Stratis core team with an automatic job offer made to the first contestant that solves at least 10 of the 12 tasks.
Krushang Patel, Stratis CMO commented: “If you think you have what it takes to mix it with the best in the community, then we encourage you to try the Stratis Puzzle. We have two genuine roles on offer as part of our core team, and the puzzle was the most logical and entertaining way we could think to fill them.”
Anyone that wants to give the puzzle a try should begin with the first task. Once contestants have solved the first puzzle, which requires no blockchain knowledge, the next step will be revealed.
The prize fund can be viewed on the Stratis blockchain explorer here Stratis Puzzle, first task:
This is the first of the 12 tasks that make up the Stratis puzzle, an additional step will be revealed once this below task is completed.
Anyone interested in the Stratis Puzzle can join the Stratis #puzzle Discord channel for community discussion on the various tasks. Blockchain is a collaborative and open source environment, Stratis recognizes that people may collaborate.
The beta release of the Breeze wallet is now available and represents a significant milestone in our development roadmap schedule.
There has been extensive work undertaken since the alpha release in order to move the Breeze wallet to the beta status. A key development since the alpha release is the Breeze wallet now supports two currencies running side by side: Stratis and Bitcoin respectively.
The release encompasses user interface enhancements and provides updates with regards to stability. Existing Breeze Wallet Holders
There have been a number of updates, therefore, any users which have an existing Breeze wallet will need to perform the following steps before starting the app:
Make sure you have your mnemonics and your passwords for these wallets
2. Delete all the files in the following folders:
%AppData%\StratisNode on Windows or ~/.stratisnode on MacOS and Linux

We are happy to announce an experimental update on the Stratis App. In this new release we have made available the exchange capability between BTC/STRAT pairs provided by Changelly.
The update is available for both iOS and Android devices. As of today you should have received an update message from the corresponding app store: iOS Users: should receive an update notification. Just accept the update and proceed to the app. Android users: If you haven’t received the notification, visit the Google Play app store and find the Stratis app. You should have the “Update” option active. Follow the prompts to update the app.
In order to buy/sell cryptocurrencies you need to enter your information in the provided fields.
Note:
Exchange capabilities are provided by Changelly
Stratis Group is not responsible for use of the Changelly functionality, any lost of funds or other issues with your transactions, and we do not provide support for transactions provided by Changelly. We recommend you make sure the addresses are correct and make sure you are operating with the correct currencies.
We would like to thank Stratis community member @alifar (Twitter: @AlifarSEO ) for this great update. As usual we welcome any feedback to further improve the user experience in our mobile app.
Dear Stratis community,
We are very aware of the urgency for the updated Stratis roadmap, and it is indeed THE priority for Stratis. But it’s proven to be the most challenging task as an organization.
We have top experts working on it, cause the idea is that when we release it, we want to be certain to have our developers on board with it, considering all the implications and complications of developing new tech, that the milestones and the expectations will be realistic, and that are not going to change (as much) midway. Also we have to balance not revealing too much of our business strategies, and finally we have to show this data in a professional manner.
The process is advancing and we apologize for how long it’s taking to get this right. Today we will continue the review process and we expect to have by the end of this week, at minimum, a public high-level roadmap update from the developer side, that we all are comfortable with.
As you can see by following the corresponding channels, our development team continues to make great progress in all fronts and we expect to maintain a healthy pace with new updates and tech releases.
Thanks for your patience!
Breeze Wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol Released
(Powered by TumbleBit and Stratis Blockchain Technology)
Breeze Wallet with TumbleBit has a new name: Breeze Wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol. Breeze Wallet will be the first wallet of its kind that will not only provide a fully featured crypto wallet, it will also include a unique coin shuffling and swapping technology. The protocol takes small denominations of bitcoins from a source wallet in Breeze, shuffles and swaps the coins with others, and then transfers those coins to a destination wallet.
The process is powered internally by TumbleBit to add privacy to your coins. It is likely to be used by discerning individuals and businesses that accept cryptocurrencies and do not want to leave traces that may reveal their customer and supplier lists.
Alpha Available Now
Stratis Internal and select community testing of Breeze Wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol is complete and we’d like to offer you, our community, the opportunity to take a look, download and try the Alpha. The new wallet is available now for Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. Download details are available here: (https://github.com/BreezeHub/Breeze/blob/tumblebit-alpha/Breeze.Documentation/alpha/option1.md ). This release runs only on testnet and is an alpha/experimental release.
The work has focused on developing a smooth user experience as well as deep integration into the Stratis Blockchain Technology. There is no longer a need to run BitCoin Core alongside Breeze Wallet when using the protocol to shuffle and swap coins. That functionality is now completely provided by Stratis Blockchain technologies. This work moves us closer to our vision where MasterNodes provide discoverable services – such as the privacy protocol – to the Stratis network in a decentralized, scalable, trustless way.
We’d like to point out that the Breeze Privacy Protocol is a CPU intensive service and although we will be providing a test server, places on the server are limited and part of the goal of the community alpha is to stress the server. Please do not be disappointed if you cannot get on this server – we are working with our community to add more server power. If you are interested in running a server please get in touch.
We’d like to also extend a warm thank you to our dedicated community testing team who have done an excellent job helping to get Breeze and the core NTumbleBit technology to a solid alpha release state. A special mention to badass, zomertje, sigma, demon and kabbie. And lastly to all our capable development team across all functions. Last but not least thanks to Nicolas Dorier and the TumbleBit dev team from MIT. This was a team effort and you guys are awesome.
Today we are proud to release the first Stratis Platform Proof of Concept – The Stratis Identity App. In a joined effort between Stratis and the Escalate Group, we have assembled the first building blocks of many possible applications on the Stratis blockchain.
Built on top of the Stratis Platform infrastructure this proof of concept showcases personal and corporate identity management capabilities on the Stratis blockchain to deliver a real use case for users to attest their identity on an immutable ledger and share that data with others via social networks. With the Stratis Identity app, you can validate an identity, or other documents, once. After that, you just share the attestation, not the document itself. This feature can help shorten business processes and avoid exposing customer data.
Proof of the information you confirmed with a social login provider, like Microsoft, will be written to The Stratis Blockchain. No actual personal information will be exposed without your explicit permission.
Leveraging Microsoft’s Enterprise Solutions
On this initial beta-release, the Stratis Identity app tightly integrates into Microsoft’s Identity and Cloud Management solutions (Azure B2C Active Directory) and the Xamarin framework to provide an additional blockchain layer of trust to identity certification. For the first time, a blockchain project showcases this deeply integration with key enterprise tools such as Microsoft’s Azure Active Directory B2C which provides unparalleled customer identity and access management in the cloud.
By integrating in Azure Active Directory we open the doors for the Stratis Platform to be the blockchain of choice when implementing blockchain based identity solutions for large companies and enterprises. Among the benefits from such integration, we can mention:
• Use social accounts, emails, custom IdPs
• Support all platforms and open standards
• Customize your customers’ identity experience
• Integrate with CRM and marketing databases
• Use a white label solution, promote your brand
• Meet your security, scalability, and compliance needs
The development with the Xamarin platform, provides a great opportunity to demonstrate versatility for multi-platform deployment when developing blockchain apps in the Microsoft environment.
Additionally we have combined Graph API, Application Insights, Microsoft Teams and Visual Studio Team Services to dramatically improve the development and deployment cycle towards a fully functional application.
In summary the Stratis Identity App will be a great first experience for developers to learn about integrating existing enterprise tools with the different Stratis modules that could help them bring enhanced trust to social interactions with the help of blockchain technology.
How it Works
For this Beta release, the App is Android only, with an iOS version to be released shortly. After you download the App, sign up to Stratis Identity Alpha using your existing social logins. Currently, supported providers include Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Google. More sign-up options are already in development. You can find a full How to Guide here:
For developers, we are providing documentation and access to our Github page (eventually the project will be fully open-sourced).
About Stratis Proofs of Concept (PoC)
A key element of our strategy is the development and release of proof-of-concept apps that can be customized into full blown products and used as building blocks for developers in the C#/Net environment. The idea is to show and tell how simple it is to build blockchain apps using the Stratis Platform, while providing basic elements to get projects started fast.
One key element in this vision, is to also establish alliances with technology oriented business entities in different verticals, that can provide their market expertise and help refine our solutions for different business activities, co-develop licensable technologies and provide customer support.
On this line of thought, we think the Stratis Identity PoC could become a key element in developing opportunities through Microsoft channels, partners and customers that are currently exploring the different blockchain options available in the market. Also, this will become an invaluable tool to show and tell to potential clients how actual decentralized blockchain apps work and how they can improve existing business processes.
We expect to continue delivering several proof of concept apps, like the one announced above in partnership with Earth Twine and other organizations that are finalizing the onboarding process.
Calling Up Developers
We want to extend a particular invitation to C#/.Net developers to get access to the tools and share their experiences with us. If you are interested in furthering your learning in blockchain, we want to invite you to join the Stratis Academy.
You can contribute to the Stratis identity project on GitHub and also you are more than welcome to propose new ideas or concepts you would like to test.
We look forward to help you solve any issues and provide you with tips to get you started developing your own blockchain based apps on the Stratis Blockchain.
