City Chain is the blockchain that powers the Smart City Platform. A decentralized platform empowering global citizens in the modern era. City Coin (CITY) is the means of value exchange, yet the Smart City Platform will be supporting multiple cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin) as a means for payments and other operations.

SpecificationsCity Chain is built on the
Stratis Blockchain Platform. It will continue to adopt the majority, if not all, future improvements and modifications made to the Stratis Blockchain Platform. City Chain, and the Smart City Platform, will build on the foundations of this platform and extend it with additional functionaly and features that goes above and beyond.
By relying on the existing platform, we get the benefit of an active development community around Stratis, and we gain a large test-base for new technology and abilities, such as Smart Contracts and sidechains.
