We are happy to announce the collateral will now be held within a Stratis Mainchain wallet allowing token holders to continue staking whilst securing the Cirrus Sidechain.

As mentioned in our Stratis Sidechain Masternode announcement last week, to progress the allocation of Masternodes for the Cirrus Sidechain, an application form would be made available to begin the enrolment process.

You can now apply to become a Masternode operator on the Cirrus sidechain by completing the form on the below page.

You will need to run the Stratis KeyGen utility that can be obtained via the below link.

The application process will be available until the 31st March 2019.

In addition to making the application form available, Stratis has incorporated design changes to the collateral requirement for both Masternode Tiers. We are happy to announce the collateral will now be held within a Stratis Mainchain wallet allowing token holders to continue staking whilst securing the Cirrus Sidechain.

This decision was made based on the feedback from the community on the original announcement and enables holders of the Stratis token to continue gaining staking rewards on the Stratis Mainchain whilst operating a Masternode.

Information regarding the hardware requirements for operating a Masternode and key dates will be announced after the imminent major release of Stratis Core.
