Stratis and Microsoft

As everyone is aware by now, Stratis is developed in the Microsoft language C# / .Net. So since Stratis inception, it has been a logical step to grow into the Microsoft platform step by step.

Last week Stratis’ CEO, Chris Trew, announced the following:

More news regarding Microsoft front next week. We have been making progress in our relationship with them.

We already have seen some exposure for Stratis on Microsoft. One of them is the Stratis ICO Platform. The ICO Platform is one of the new offers on the Azure Marketplace. You can find the article from Microsoft Azure over here.

Another product that is on Microsofts Azure Platform is the Stratis Smart Contracts, which you can find over here. It’s a Stratis Smart Contracts Template which has been installed over 2,200 times already. Adoption is coming.

Smart Contracts Update

The Stratis Smart Contracts in C# team gave us an update about what happened last week:

The First Token Smart Contract Executing in Native C# / .NET

Lead Developer of the Smart Contracts team, Jordan Andrews wrote a new article about Smart Contracts for Stratis. Jordan tells us that:

Hundreds of you have been messaging me that X other platform has smart contracts in C#. I can say with certainty that Stratis is the first to be executing C# natively. Other platforms (e.g. NEO) may be compiling C# syntax to custom machine code but we’re definitely the first to be executing actual .NET code on the Common Language Runtime, .NET’s virtual machine. (I should know, I previously built EthSharp which compiled C# for the EVM!)

Read the full article which is published on Hackernoon and also got in front of the Blockchain category, over here.
