Stratis, a London-based company, has announced a new project that includes sidechains, smart contracts, an ICO and STO platform, and distributed ledger technology, that eases transaction processing.

According to the company, the project is based on Stratis C# Full Node, a software built on Microsoft’s .NET Core. The service is intended to enable developers to use the existing languages in the .NET ecosystem to build blockchain solutions. The company has stated that programmers can now develop, compile, debug and test smart contracts in Visual Studio without requiring any external tools.

Chris Trew, Stratis CEO and founder, has claimed that Stratis is the first company to develop smart contracts in C#. He also stated that there are more number of developers in C# than in any other smart contract languages which is an added advantage.
