You have to ensure you are connected to the internet during the staking period on the Stratis wallet.

Benefits of Stratis

Non-disruptive sidechains

Stratisplatform allows the creation of a new chain from the primary chain (sidechain) without affecting the primary one. Smart contracts written on this platform have a unique sidechain. This allows companies writing smart contracts to avoid the risk of losing money in case the primary chain is compromised.

Proof-of-stake

Stratis is using Proof-of-stake protocol enabling holders of the token to earn more simply by holding the tokens. In this reward system, if you own 10% of the Stratistoken, you can mine 10% of the proof-of-stake block. This mitigates the problem associated with Bitcoin and other proof of work technology whereas more coins are mined, the transaction speed slows.
