Stratis Ambassador Submission Form

Stratis is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the evolution of the Stratis Platform. As Stratis transitions into a new era of scalability and efficiency, Stratis is excited to unveil the upcoming deployment of a Layer-2 solution that leverages the advanced zkSync technology. This strategic move demonstrates Stratis’s commitment to providing the most effective and innovative blockchain solutions to users of the Stratis Platform.

Why zkSync?

zkSync represents the forefront of Layer-2 Solutions, offering unprecedented scalability, security, and throughput. By integrating zkSync into the Stratis Layer-1 Blockchain, Stratis can enhance the transaction throughput while reducing costs significantly, all without compromising on security. This ensures that Stratis remains a competitive, cutting-edge platform for developers and users alike.

The Layer-2 solution, powered by zkSync technology, is specifically designed to address the throughput limitations of traditional blockchain systems. By moving transactions off the main chain and onto a second layer, Stratis will be able to process thousands of transactions per second, far surpassing the capabilities of Layer-1 alone. This high throughput is a game-changer for blockchain gaming, enabling:

• Instant Transactions: Gamers can expect almost instant in-game transactions, making gameplay smoother and more enjoyable. Whether buying items, trading assets, or executing complex in-game actions, Stratis’s Layer-2 ensures your gaming experience remains uninterrupted.
• Reduced Costs: High throughput means lower costs. With Stratis’s Layer-2, transaction fees are significantly reduced, making it more feasible for gamers to engage in microtransactions and for developers to implement more sophisticated and interactive game features.
• Scalability for Game Developers: For developers, Stratis’s Layer-2 solution opens up new possibilities for game design and monetization. High throughput allows for creating more complex and dynamic gaming environments, supporting a larger number of players and in-game transactions without compromising performance.

By integrating the zkSync technology, Stratis is not just enhancing transaction efficiency; they are also empowering the gaming community. Gamers will benefit from a frictionless and cost-effective gaming experience, while developers can harness the power of blockchain to create innovative and immersive games.

The Power of Type 4

One of the most exciting aspects of Stratis’s zkSync implementation is the adoption of the Type 4 prover. This cutting-edge technology stands out for several reasons:

• Enhanced Privacy and Security: Type 4 provers utilize zero-knowledge proofs, offering superior privacy by enabling transaction validation without revealing any sensitive information. This level of security is paramount in today’s digital age.
• Increased Efficiency: Compared to other types, Type 4 provers are more efficient, enabling faster transaction processing and lower gas fees. This means users can enjoy a smoother and more cost-effective experience on the Stratis platform.
• Scalability: The Type 4 prover significantly enhances scalability, a critical factor as the Stratis ecosystem continues to grow. This ensures that the platform is able to handle increasing demand without sacrificing performance.

zkSync Success Stories

The adoption of zkSync technology is backed by success stories and statistics that genuinely validate its effectiveness. A prime example is the well-known NFT project, Pudgy Penguins. By leveraging zkSync for their transactions, Pudgy Penguins was able to enhance their platform’s performance and user experience significantly.

Before utilizing zkSync, Pudgy Penguins faced challenges common to many blockchain-based projects, such as slow transaction times and high gas fees, which impacted user engagement and overall experience. However, after adopting zkSync, they experienced a remarkable transformation, resulting in a $400M success story.

Our decision to integrate zkSync, particularly focusing on the Type 4 prover, is informed by these successes, ensuring that Stratis remains at the forefront of blockchain innovation.

Looking Ahead

The deployment of a Layer-2 solution is just the beginning of Stratis’s journey towards continuous improvement and innovation of its platform, highlighting its mission of continuous development to remain at the forefront of the blockchain space.  In alignment with Stratis’s forward-thinking ethos, Stratis is focused on deepening its engagement with the zkSync ecosystem through a commitment to developing further tooling to advance its own platform and contribute to the broader zkSync ecosystem.

Moreover, the Stratis dApp Incentive Programme will place its focus towards projects that utilize zkSync technology. This strategic shift underscores Stratis’s intent to drive innovation and development within the zkSync landscape, offering substantial support to developers steering the future of decentralized applications. In parallel, Stratis Ventures, the platform’s dedicated arm for fostering the growth of standout startups, will prioritize projects employing zkSync technology. This initiative aims to harness the transformative potential of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, mirroring the success stories within the blockchain ecosystem, such as the notable growth of decentralized trading protocols.

Stratis will also leverage existing tooling, such as the zkSync bridge, to ensure a seamless user experience for cross-chain transactions between the Stratis Layer-1 and Layer-2 platforms. This integration is designed to facilitate a more interconnected and user-friendly blockchain environment, enhancing the overall utility and accessibility of the Stratis platform.

Finally, the Layer-2 will serve as the foundation for Stratis’s regulated stablecoin project, GBPT, as issuing a regulatory-compliant stablecoin, pegged to the Great British Pound, remains one of Stratis’s core focuses.

Through these initiatives, Stratis is not just looking ahead but is actively shaping the future of blockchain technology. By embracing zkSync’s Layer-2 solutions, focusing on impactful projects, and enhancing cross-chain functionality, Stratis is demonstrating its commitment to delivering a robust, secure, efficient, and innovative blockchain ecosystem.

As Stratis reaches the final stages of deploying the StratisEVM platform, there are some important updates regarding the token swap schedule and the impending launch of StratisEVM. While deployment is nearing completion, the Token Swap Schedule has had to be adjusted to align with the schedules of our exchange partners. This collaboration is essential to ensure a smooth and seamless transition for token holders, reducing the time between the snapshot and launch of the pairings for the new token, minimising any period of deposits and withdrawals being disabled on exchanges.

While revising the token swap schedule was not an action Stratis wanted to take, it is a necessary step to ensure the support of leading exchanges. These collaborations are essential for the successful launch and long-term stability of StratisEVM. Stratis understands the impact of these changes on our community and is committed to making this transition as smooth and beneficial as possible for everyone involved.

Key Updates to the Token Swap Schedule

Extended On-Chain Token Swaps

To accommodate these changes and provide our community with ample opportunity to prepare, we are extending the deadline for on-chain token swaps to 6 PM GMT on the 20th March 2024.

Snapshot Time Adjustment

The snapshot time will now be at 6 PM GMT on the 20th March 2024.

StratisEVM Launch Date

The launch of StratisEVM is now scheduled for 21st March 2024.
