Networks · Layer-1About
Stratis is a blockchain development platform designed for enterprises. It offers solutions like blockchain consultancy, smart contracts in C#, digital identity systems, and decentralized applications (dApps). Stratis focuses on making blockchain technology accessible for Microsoft developers, providing a secure and energy-efficient environment for blockchain deployment and operation.
History
Launched in August of 2016, Stratis is a blockchain development platform that enables users (primarily enterprise businesses) to develop, test, and deploy applications. The goal here is Blockchain-as-a-Service; simple cloud-based deployment using coding languages that developers are most comfortable with (C# and the .NET framework).
The Stratis team earn revenue by charging a recurring subscription fee for their BaaS model and for the consulting services they provide. Users can download a Stratis full node from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace since Stratis is a certified Microsoft partner.
If Stratis succeeds, enterprise users will be able to build any application they’d like and deploy it on their own customized private blockchain, a side chain secured by the Stratis network. Due to the nature of this cloud-based model, users wouldn’t need to maintain the network or clients themselves for storage, infrastructure, or platform needs.
Releases so far include the following:
- Breeze Wallet - For B2B private transactions via a Masternode connection on the Stratis network.
- ICO Platform - Deploy an ICO on Azure within minutes (KYC and HD wallets included).
- Smart Contracts (currently in alpha) - These execute in C#, Stratis’ base language, unlike Ethereum or NEO which execute contracts in bytecode that’s unique to those blockchains. This means contracts can be audited by millions of dev’s already familiar with C#.
- Stratis Identity - allows users to prove ownership of personal data and digital identities, first by creating a unique hash ID that’s stored on the Stratis blockchain and secondly by signing in/confirming your identity using social logins.
