I just read the whitepaper after seeing your question. Looks like an interesting project.
The Stratis platform will be built on the C# Stratis Bitcoin Full node platform and
framework. The Stratis Bitcoin Full node will be developed on top of the NBitcoin
library,[6] a near-complete port of Bitcoin Core written in C# and .NET by blockchain
developer Nicolas Dorier. There will also be a C++ Wallet and full node version based on
Bitcoin Core, though the majority of nodes on the network will be NStratis (C#) nodes.
NBitcoin is a complete and proven blockchain framework that is already in use, and will
enable accelerated development.
Stages in NStratis development will include:
1. Development of the Stratis Bitcoin Full Node
2. Fork the Stratis Bitcoin Full Node for NStratis
3. Implement the required changes to NStratis and port Elements sidechains to C#.

1. Development of the Stratis Bitcoin Full Node
Do you know if any other coins have this set up?
2. Fork the Stratis Bitcoin Full Node for NStratis
3. Implement the required changes to NStratis and port Elements sidechains to C#.
Does this mean that Stratis can lean on or draw from the strength of Bitcoin in any way?
Thanks again
