The long-running blockchain project introduces a refreshed identity aligned with its evolving focus towards DeFi and gaming innovation.
London, October 15, 2025 – Stratis, one of the first blockchain platforms created in 2016, has officially been renamed Xertra, marking a strategic move that aligns the project with its growing focus on decentralized finance and gaming.
Since its inception, Stratis has been recognized for developing practical blockchain infrastructure and enterprise-grade tools. The transition to Xertra takes this foundation into a new chapter, one that emphasizes innovation, usability and real impact in two of Web3’s most dynamic sectors.
Increased focus on DeFi and gaming
The rebrand unites the project’s vision, products and community under a single, forward-looking identity. By focusing its resources on DeFi and gaming, Xertra is expanding its infrastructure, deepening its partnerships, and creating community initiatives that support ecosystem adoption and growth.
These two areas continue to demonstrate how blockchain provides measurable value. Xertra’s roadmap reflects this momentum, focusing on scalable, compliant, user-centric solutions that can thrive in regulated and open environments.
Key products remain at the heart of the ecosystem. Ticketsphere, a blockchain-based ticketing platform, offers secure, cashless event experiences with QR payments and integrated wallets. Xertra Money Service operates as a regulated cryptocurrency off-ramp under the supervision of the Bank of Spain, with MiCA registration in progress. The platform also maintains its stablecoin infrastructure, supporting payment flows and DeFi integrations on the network.
SolPlex expands the vision of gaming
At the heart of Xertra’s gaming strategy is SolPlex, a sci-fi MMO built on StratisEVM. It combines deep strategic gameplay with seamless Web3 mechanics that reward skill and commitment.
An upcoming update introduces Artifacts – powerful items that improve settlements and can be earned, discovered, or traded. Artifacts are divided into consumable versions, which provide temporary improvements, and integrable versions, which permanently improve structures. Early players will receive artifact airdrops during testing, while token integration will enable direct trading and wallet-based transactions within the in-game economy.
SolPlex is currently available on the Epic Games Store, with a mobile version in development.
Building the next chapter
The new brand signals a broader shift in how the project presents its mission. Xertra’s blockchain network, contracts, and tokens remain unchanged, while its narrative now aligns technology, community, and product under one clear direction.
To reinforce this shift, Xertra has launched dedicated marketing initiatives and collaborations with key voices in DeFi and gaming. These efforts aim to expand visibility, grow the community, and strengthen the project’s reputation in the Web3 landscape.
The transition to Xertra marks a pivotal point in the project’s journey, connecting a proven foundation with a renewed focus on real utility and sustainable growth. Even though the brand has changed, the mission remains constant: to advance blockchain technology that delivers tangible, lasting value.
