From the first half of 2017 bitcoin helped to drive more exuberant types of altcoins. In this range one of the profitable digital token is stratis. So my steemit friends in this post I introduced to the Stratis project as its native cryptocurrency, the stratis token, form an investing point of view.
What is Stratis?
Stratis is a UK-based blockchain that gave chance a blockchain-as-service platform which focus on financial institutions and other corporations which used to built their business solutions using distributed ledger technology.
Stratis development platform ie nStratis allows companies to create customized blockchain applications using pure C# and the Microsoft .Net framework, that makes simpler and faster development lifecycle for other blockchain solutions.
Also more corporations can create their own private blockchains ie sidechains using nStratis, accessed via APIs and lite clients.
All private blockchains are secured on the Stratis blockchain.
Stratis, is developing tools primarily targeted at Microsolf products. Hence, it does not as a surprise that MICROSOLF has added Stratis to their BaaS (Blockchain-as-Service) to its Azure Cloud services to generates blockchain applications.
The team working on Stratis is led by software developer Chris Trew, founded it in 2016 and devise a range of well expertise developers range.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRATIS AND ETHEREUM?
Combining Stratis and Ethereum enable developers to build decentralized applications and wide range of smart contract for enterprises.
First difference is that they both using different coding languages. Etherium’s native coding language is Solidity, on the other side Stratis used common coding language C# which makes it easier for programmers to develop various solutions on Stratis also regulated to learn new programming language.
Second one is that Stratis allows for contracts to easy to use on sidechains. But on Etherium, all contracts are executed on the Ethereum blockchain, which block up the networks several time.
Third is Stratis uses a proff-of-stake consensus mechanism while Ethereum*(still) uses proff-of-work.
Ethereum founder Late Vitalik Buterin announced that Ethereum will switch to proff-of-stake further down the road but questions is this is it possible to a blockchain that carries a market value on more than $20 billion.
Solution is Stratis, which offer to Ethereum Challenges mainly (sidechains and proff-of-stake), the Stratis projects and its cryptocurrency are well positioned to potentially play a leading role in blockchain in later time.
# THE STRATIS ICO and Token (STRAT) 
In july2016 Stratis held its ICO where it managed to raise 648.15BTC and equally distributed to stratis which is 84,000,000 in number now it is around $600,000 but this number may be small as compare to ICO craze of 2017
