Stratis Sidechain Masternodes Update

Last week Stratis announced their Sidechain Masternodes Update. In this update, they shared that the application process for the Cirrus Sidechain Masternodes has now come to an end.

A great amount of interest has been received which has resulted in a significant number of Masternodes being assigned. The development of the Sidechain Masternodes is also drawing to a close, making this a great opportunity to offer a lower-level explanation as to how the network will operate and also what features to expect.

On Discord Chris shared that over 80 applications have been filed by $STRAT holders who are willing to support the network.

It was a great success and in case you missed it:

Testing

Testing is one of the most important things in development. Before a product comes to the surface there have been multiple test rounds. Stratis wouldn’t be Stratis if they found a way that makes testing way more efficient. Thanks to Maciej for sharing this.
