The Breeze Wallet with the Breeze Privacy Protocol public mainnet has been released and is now open<\/a> to the public. The wallet showcases Stratis technology \u2014 a platform built for visual basic apps and blockchain solutions \u2014 and places heavy emphasis on both privacy and security for businesses seeking to implement business-to-business (B2B) transactions on the Stratis and Bitcoin blockchain networks.<\/p>\n

The Breeze Wallet was first scheduled for release<\/a> in mid-2017. Designed as a bitcoin wallet for desktops, the application would come with TumbleBit \u2014 a promising privacy advancement built on top of Bitcoin \u2014 and give customers the opportunity to mix their coins without the need to trust one another or the receiving wallets. <\/p>\n

Speaking with Bitcoin Magazine last year, Stratis Founder and CEO Chris Trew explained, \u201cWe are integrating TumbleBit because it\u2019s a trustless and secure solution that works with Bitcoin without any forks.\u201d <\/p>\n

Based in the U.K., Stratis is a startup that offers end-to-end solutions for development, testing and deployment of blockchain applications. Aside from maintaining its own blockchain, Stratis also boasts a native token, the Stratis token, and builds tools for existing blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. <\/p>\n

Developers claim the wallet boasts a user-friendly interface, along with what they dub the Masternode Client Discovery protocol, in which the Bitcoin or Stratis blockchain is used to discover, validate and connect to a Stratis Masternode<\/a>. The process is decentralized and occurs through a trustless environment that is less vulnerable to network disruption.<\/p>\n

Users employing the wallet can \u201cobfuscate\u201d transactions, meaning they can render them obscure or unintelligible. This primarily works for ventures<\/a> or individuals seeking to conduct on-chain business while preventing that business from being viewed by the public. If a company receives regular payments from customers or makes payments to a supplier, this would be deemed commercially sensitive information and would thus be shielded.<\/p>\n

Companies can also utilize the wallet to connect to a Stratis Masternode, thereby giving their transactions added protection across both the Bitcoin and Stratis networks. This is primarily done through TumbleBit, which provides anonymity<\/a> by allowing several people to utilize the same payment channels. The channels are then protected with cryptographic puzzles that prevent any non-users from gaining access to the information they present.<\/p>\n

The Breeze Wallet is compatible with Windows 64-bit and 32-bit, along with Mac OS X and Ubuntu. Respective wallet download links are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
