Stratis Bitcoin

https://stratisplatform.com

Bitcoin Implementation in C#

Stratis is an implementation of the Bitcoin protocol in C# on the .NET Core platform.
The node can run on the Bitcoin and Stratis networks.
Stratis Bitcoin is based on the NBitcoin project.

For Proof of Stake support on the Stratis token the node is using NStratis which is a POS implementation of NBitcoin.

.NET Core is an open source cross platform framework and enables the development of applications and services on Windows, macOS and Linux.

The design

A Modular Approach

A Blockchain is made of many components, from a FullNode that validates blocks to a Simple Wallet that track addresses. The end goal is to develop a set of Nuget packages from which an implementer can cherry pick what he needs.

  • NBitcoin
  • Stratis.Bitcoin.Core - The bare minimum to run a pruned node.
  • Stratis.Bitcoin.Store - Store and relay blocks to peers.
  • Stratis.Bitcoin.MemoryPool - Track pending transaction.
  • Stratis.Bitcoin.Wallet - Send and Receive coins
  • Stratis.Bitcoin.Miner - POS or POW
  • Stratis.Bitcoin.Explorer

Create a Blockchain in a .NET Core style programming

  var node = new FullNodeBuilder()
   .UseNodeSettings(nodeSettings)
   .UseConsensus()
   .UseBlockStore()
   .UseMempool()
   .AddMining()
   .AddRPC()
   .Build();

  node.Run();

What's Next

We plan to add many more features on top of the Stratis Bitcoin blockchain: Sidechains, Private/Permissioned blockchain, Compiled Smart Contracts, NTumbleBit/Breeze wallet and more...

Running a FullNode

The master branch is actively developed and regularly committed to, and it can become unstable.
To compile a stable (production) release use any of the release tags form version 3.0.x.x and upwards.

git clone https://github.com/stratisproject/StratisBitcoinFullNode.git  
cd StratisBitcoinFullNode\src

dotnet build

To run on the Bitcoin network:

cd Stratis.BitcoinD
dotnet run

To run on the Stratis network:

cd Stratis.StratisD
dotnet run
