For a long time Stratis has been dubbed as Ethereum competitor number one. Then came the swarm of new crypto platforms like NEO, EOS, ADA, ICX and everybody forgot about a once upon a time star – Stratis.

Stratis offers pretty much everything Ethereum does, implementing smart contracts, ICO platform, sidechains for businesses to be decentralized, and more interesting features.

Stratis’ smart contracts platform is built entirely from the ground up in native C# on the .NET framework – the most popular enterprise programming language on the most widely-used enterprise framework. This is one of the main advantages that makes Stratis easier to integrate into existing enterprise architectures by removing any barriers presented by new, proprietary computing languages like Solidity in Ethereum. Moreover, Stratis will soon provide support for the functional programming language F#, particularly popular in the finance sector.

Stratis team got some bad reputation earlier last year as they missed couple of their deadlines for big releases and technical upgrades to their network. Additionally, their community is not satisfied with how active the team is on the communications front – they don’t offer regular updates on the progress, many questions from the community stay unanswered for a long time and there is generally a scent of a dead project around Stratis.

But is Stratis really dead?

If we take a look at the history of ETH, for example, they walked the similar path to what Stratis does right now. They were initially ignored although their technology was disruptive. And we know where is Ethereum right now. Sometimes it just takes time but that means they can have a stable and healthy growth. And that’s a lot more worth than the usual dump and pump game or hype trains for the masses. The team is perhaps a bit quiet but with aggressive commits on their Github and help from Nicolas Dorier (one of the bitcoin core developers). There are currently more than twenty members of the team working for Stratis. Stratis does almost no marketing and has come to this point and high ranking on the coinmarketcap with no effort in that respect. Stratis has a lower inflation rate but a similar coin supply to Ethereum. If Stratis proves itself on it’s claimed improvements over the Ethereum Virtual Machine combined with its programming language C# advantage, it could catch up very quickly and prove itself as a leader as a smart contract platform. Also, Stratis is one of the 2 companies that offer blockchain solutions on Azure. End-to-End ICO platform solutions on Azure, those two are NEO and STRATIS. The one advantage STRATIS holds over other ICO platforms is that it has created the Breeze implementation of TumbleBit, which allows it to offer private and extremely secure transactions, along with the potential to integrate Breeze into the Lightning Network via the TumbleBit Anonymous Payment Protocol. To date, Stratis has released: An ICO Platform, in full production release, a fully customisable, FREE, crowdfunding platform built from the ground up in C# (https://stratisplatform.com/2018/05/09/stratis-ico-platform-release/). The first of its kind.

Modular Full Nodes on MainNet built from the ground up in C#, which allow a developer to easily pick and choose from the suite of tools developed for the Stratis Platform (https://stratisplatform.com/2018/03/28/stratis-full-node-beta-release/). The first of its kind.

A Full Node executable GUI on MainNet, Stratis’s very own staking wallet serving the C# MainNet (https://stratisplatform.com/2018/04/11/stratis-full-node-gui-mainnet-beta-release/). The first of its kind.

The Breeze Wallet on MainNet, a Full Block SPV (light) multi-chain wallet supporting Bitcoin and Stratis, built from the ground up in C# (https://stratisplatform.com/2017/11/21/breeze-wallet-mainnet-beta-release/). The first of its kind.

The Breeze Privacy Protocol in beta on MainNet undergoing a private round of testing, the first EVER decentralised tumbling service including Masternodes of 250k Strat (https://stratisplatform.com/2017/12/12/breeze_protocol_beta_release/). The first of its kind.

Smart Contracts alpha on testnet, the first ever C# smart contracts, allowing developers to leverage the .NET ecosystem while building and auditing contracts, with access to the full suite of tools available within that same ecosystem. A massive step forward for the smart contract space. (https://stratisplatform.com/2018/05/16/stratis-smart-contracts-in-csharp/). Again, the very first of its kind. Competitors have already mooned, perhaps it is time for STRATIS to do the same.
