Stratis Monthly Development Update #3

Another month has passed since Stratis’ initial monthly update. You can read the monthly #3 here.

Binance AMA Vote

Last week there was a Binance Twitter vote for projects that can win an AMA in the Binance Telegram. The top three of the six selected projects will be asked if they wish to participate in a Binance Telegram AMA. Our community did what they do best, unite and win votes! A big thank you to our whole community for making this possible, as Stratis is one of the winners! Further details about the AMA will be shared when they are out. A great way of bringing some new awareness to Stratis.

New Stratis Video

The following video which contains an overview of Stratis was shown in the booth at the London Blockchain Expo.

Cold Staking

Stratis developed a solution for cold staking without having to do a hardfork as other coins have done in the past. With Stratis’s solution, your $STRAT can be held offline, but you are still able to earn $STRAT through staking. Cold staking will be activated when 95% of the stakers have adopted the C# Full Node production release.

You can follow the live progress here.

To bring more awareness to cold staking Chris Trew, CEO of Stratis, made a call to action on Twitter.

The CTO of Stratis, Dan Gershony, announced a cold staking bounty. After good suggestions by the Stratis community, he created a bounty that will go to miners that upgrade and signal cold staking blocks. Distribution method will be announced through a Stratis blog post.

Abra Global

Abra Global is a platform where you can invest in cryptocurrencies and fiat and where stocks ETFs will come soon. Last week Abra started enabling native access to new cryptocurrencies and $STRAT is one of them.

Solaris

Solaris is a project in crypto that suggested a proposal for community discussion last week. In this proposal, they propose to move over from the Pivx codebase towards the Stratis codebase. You can read the full article here.

Stratis (STRAT) is a fantastic blockchain platform, with the core technology and consensus based on Bitcoin, but re-written in C#. It easily allows to develop new solutions and services using the .NET platform, giving a lot more flexibility to future developments with native Smart Contracts in C#, sidechain technology and other beneficial opportunities that are not possible on the Pivx codebase.

Dan Gershony chimed in on Twitter.

That’s it for now. All the best to everyone!
