Stratis Rebrands to Xertra, Signaling Strategic Pivot to DeFi and Gaming

London, United Kingdom – October 15, 2025 – Established blockchain project unveils new brand identity to better reflect long-term vision and industry focus.

Rebranding for the Future: Introducing Xertra

Since 2016, Stratis had remained focused on building practical, real-world blockchain solutions. As the blockchain space matured, Stratis evolved as well, not in its technology or core vision, but in its brand identity. This evolution has led to the official rebrand to Xertra, aligning the project more closely with its long-term vision and sharper focus on DeFi and Gaming.

This next chapter represents a strategic evolution, not a reinvention. The core network, token, and products all remain fully intact. What changes is how the Stratis presents itself to the world, with greater clarity, stronger positioning, and an identity that reflects where it is heading.

The Xertra Focus

The rebrand to Xertra reflects a strategic pivot towards two sectors with significant growth potential: Decentralised Finance (DeFi) and Gaming. These areas continue to demonstrate where blockchain technology can deliver the most tangible value and innovation.

With this refined focus, Xertra has concentrated its resources on strengthening its presence in these markets, developing new infrastructure, partnerships, and community initiatives to accelerate adoption and growth.

Existing Products Will Remain

The rebrand does not mean abandoning what has already been built. Stratis’s key products will continue to be core pillars of the ecosystem:

Ticketsphere

A blockchain-based event and ticketing platform, enabling secure, cashless experiences with QR code payments and in-app wallet functionality.

Xertra Money Service

A regulated crypto-to-fiat gateway, offering compliant off-ramping capabilities under the supervision of the Bank of Spain, with MiCA registration in progress.

Stablecoin Infrastructure

An on-chain stablecoin platform that underpins both payment flows and DeFi integrations within the ecosystem.

All existing products will continue to operate under the new brand, with future development aligned to the refreshed identity and strategic priorities.

SolPlex: A Flagship Gaming Initiative

At the heart of Stratis’ gaming vision is SolPlex, a sci-fi strategy MMO built on and powered by StratisEVM. SolPlex focuses on gameplay first, combining deep strategic mechanics with fair and transparent Web3 systems. 's intricate in game economy ensures balance and rewards skill, giving dedicated players the opportunity to progress through effort and strategy rather than pure token advantage.

A major upcoming addition to SolPlex is the introduction of artifacts, ancient items that hold immense power and can enhance a colony’s performance. Players will be able to discover, earn or trade artifacts and store them within the Nuclear Lab. Two main types will be available: consumables, which provide temporary boosts and embeddable artifacts, which give permanent upgrades to buildings. Used or embedded artifacts will remain safe even if the Nuclear Lab is demolished, while only stored artifacts will be lost. To encourage early testing and engagement, artifact airdrops will also be carried out.

Alongside this, token integration will bring the next phase of SolPlex’s evolution. Tokens will act as the main in game currency, enabling trading of resources and artifacts within the economy. Each player will have a connected wallet tied to their account, allowing deposits, withdrawals, and marketplace activity as SolPlex expands. Together, these updates lay the foundation for a thriving player driven economy that connects traditional strategy gameplay with blockchain innovation.

Not Just a New Name The transition to Xertra was not a cosmetic change but a carefully planned and executed brand transformation. Every aspect of the new identity was designed to strengthen how the project is represented and understood, ensuring it reflects Stratis’s long-term vision and ambition. 

It’s important to stress that this is a strategic brand transformation, not a network upgrade or hard fork. There will be:

• No token migration
• No smart contract changes
• No new issuance
• No forks

The existing token and blockchain infrastructure will remain fully intact and operational. Users, developers, and validators do not need to take any action as a result of the rebrand.

Growing Awareness

To support the rebrand and strengthen the visibility of the new identity, Xertra engaged a dedicated marketing team and initiated collaborations with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) across both the DeFi and Gaming sectors.

This represented a significant investment in awareness and community growth, designed to onboard new users and reinforce the credibility of the project across the industry. These efforts continue to build momentum following the rebrand, ensuring the new identity achieves the recognition it deserves.

Looking Ahead

The rebrand to Xertra marks a major milestone in the Stratis’s journey. It represents not only a refreshed visual identity, but also a renewed alignment between vision, product, and community.

Xertra remains committed to building real, usable blockchain solutions while advancing its strategic focus in DeFi and Gaming. The name has changed, but the mission remains the same: to deliver technology that connects innovation with real-world impact.
