An EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, Stratis delivers low-cost, fast-finality smart contracts with STRAX gas, tailored for enterprise and .NET/C# developers.
Stratis is a proof-of-stake blockchain that enables C#/.NET development, with STRAX as its native currency. Primary use cases include enterprise dApps on its Cirrus smart‑contract sidechain, tokenization (SRC20), DeFi (e.g., Opdex), NFTs, gaming, and cross‑chain asset movement via the InterFlux bridge.
Stratis stands out with first‑class C#/.NET smart contracts and a sidechain architecture where Cirrus handles contracts and the STRAX mainnet focuses on settlement—streamlining enterprise integration and predictable costs. It also offers the InterFlux federated bridge for interoperability with networks like Ethereum and BNB Chain. Performance context: mainnet block time is ~64 seconds with base‑layer throughput in the single‑digit TPS range; Cirrus provides low smart‑contract fees (often sub‑cent) and overall activity is lower than high‑throughput L1s like Solana, favoring enterprise workloads over raw TPS.
Stratis uses STRAX as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain STRAX by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge STRAX to Stratis, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Stratis as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
