Building for Ethereum Before It Existed.
Rooted in Ethereum. Built by early Ethereum contributors.
STRATO didn't start with a whitepaper and a token sale. It started in 2014, when our founders joined the Ethereum project and began writing one of its six original mainnet-compatible clients in Haskell, because they were mathematicians and physicists, not hype merchants. Over the years, the team went on to build enterprise blockchain infrastructure for Fortune 500 companies and governments, and has poured that experience into STRATO.
