Governance Proposal #55 is now live on the Sentinel Blockchain! The community has issued this proposal to decrease the inflation rate:

"This proposal seeks to reduce the max inflation rate from 15% to 10%, and the min inflation rate from 12% to 7%"

The long awaited Cosmo #dVPN built on Sentinel has finally been approved for TestFlight by the iOS App Store and is going live soon.

Pay for provably encrypted end to end privacy by using $ATOM to make interchain payments to the Sentinel Layer 1 chain through the Cosmos IBC.

Thanks to Sentinel community contributors Yovan/BusurNode and Misfits/The Expanse for establishing a relay between the Sentinel Hub and Axelar.

$DVPN will be bridged to Solana and Ethereum and DVPN/ETH and DVPN/SOL pools will be established on Uniswap and Jupiter/or Rayidum.

The decentralized AI Agent market is one of the fastest growing sectors in the crypto ecosystem, however there isn't a single working data layer to help these agents scrape data online.

Sentinel Scout is the first working AI data layer and is integrating with @ElizaOS_ai

A new paradigm for Sentinel begins. Sentinel's p2p bandwidth marketplace and infrastructure now expands beyond privacy usecases, into data acquisition for AI training purposes. This is not the official Scout release, just an early testing announcement.

http://scout.sentinel.co and its Akash Chat integration is now open for testing

The first scalable AI data layer infrastructure where AI agents can plug in and retrieve as well as clean the data they require? @ElizaOS_ai is getting integrated with Scout.

The Sentinel ecosystem brings forward real working products that have the ability to reach the masses.

Download the Data miner and support the testing efforts by providing your bandwidth to the platform from your Android device to receive $DVPN Rewards

Cosmo #dVPN is now live on the iOS testflight with inter-chain $ATOM payments enabled in-app. $ATOM on-ramp will be enabled on the main iOS store release. This is Sentinel's first ecosystem dVPN application outside of its own Sentinel Shield application (http://shield.sentinel.co)

Sentinel is committed to the Cosmos ecosystem and will continue to develop utilities and create infrastructure in the ecosystem.

Sentinel is inspired by Akash network which proves that if you have a solid product-market fit, you can persist and grow regardless of the negative correlation that your native ecosystem may impose on you.

In other words, builders on Cosmos must appeal to the broader Web 3 audience and act as a mini liquidity and attention black hole in the same way that Solana/Base/and other REAL blackholes have been sucking away the liquidity and mindshare of our ecosystem.

Akash network gives hope and inspiration to the Cosmos ecosystem. Akash has the most sound crypto-economic model in the entire Web 3 sector and shows that gaining users is just the first step - with monetization being the real game. Sentinel is yet to monetize on its users but is strongly on the path to do so.

Akash is providing a REAL utility for one of the hottest market segments out there which is the AI sector and has been able to capture mindshare from the broader ecosystem. Sentinel isn't waiting for dVPN apps to start trending, Sentinel has taken the initiative to build REAL utility for the AI sector without compromising on the primary ethos of facilitating p2p bandwidth exchange.

Sentinel's AI Data layer is the first usable decentralized data layer and has the ability to capture mindshare from the broader Web 3 ecosystem.

The Sentinel AI Data Layer has integrated Akash Chat and will be integrating Akash compute for data cleaning operations.

Sentinel's new paradigm begins now.

Note on the UI : This original UI was rejected by Google App Store on the claim that 'these logos have nothing to do with the product'. As a result the UI of both the Android and iOS applications were changed to a minimalistic placeholder that is not aesthetic. The original UI is being resubmitted to both app stores.

Very few #DePin networks have the verifiable active user stats that Sentinel does, and it is about to get a whole lot crazier.

Sentinel has built a robust and scalable decentralized VPN architecture which supports over 50k users per month, and centralized VPN companies are watching!

Sentinel is potentially onboarding an VPN that would make the current stats look like childs play.

2025 is going to be the year of 6 figure revenue attribution, crossing the 1 million user mark, and becoming the #DePin network with the highest # of verifiable daily active users.

Sentinel's framework allows for the creation of cross-platform decentralized VPNs which have access to community hosted exit nodes in the Sentinel ecosystem (http://map.sentinel.co)

There are 3 SDKs to build your own dVPN:

https://docs.sentinel.co/sdk

IndependentdVPN built on Sentinel just gives a glimpse into the potential of this stack

100s of thousands of downloads, not a dollar in marketing spend

4.5 + Rating, a sub community sometimes more active than Sentinel's main group.

http://independentdvpn.com

Regardless of market price action, #DePin utility focused networks such as Akash and $DVPN continue to grow

http://stats.sentinel.co

Sentinel is at the 699k user milestone and is about to cross to 700k+ users. This vision is beyond crypto volatility. Going to 1m+ this year

📺 DVPN is coming to TV!

We’re excited to announce that NORSE Labs is launching its first DVPN application for TV platforms! The all-new DVPN for TV will be the world’s first VPN app to feature both decentralization and V2Ray compatibility across all major TV operating systems.

We’re kicking things off with Apple tvOS—the Apple TV app will be available on the App Store this week, allowing users worldwide to access their favorite streaming services, no matter where they live.

Support for Android TV and Fire OS is coming this spring—stay tuned!

Wait, are you telling me that I can build my own dVPN application on Sentinel and that there are multiple developer SDKs to choose from and thousands of community-hosted nodes that I can offer in my app?

https://docs.sentinel.co/sdk

Thats right! 700k users and counting.

What is the point of dVPN nodes that are hosted by the Sentinel community?

Application builders on Sentinel can offer these same nodes in their own application to their end-user!

http://map.sentinel.co

Sentinel has the first working on-chain node subscription management structure where application creators can create a custom subscription plan where they can lock $DVPN tokens with nodes and offer these nodes in their application.

Authorization to access these nodes can be configured with on-chain payments or even off-chain triggers, e.g a user can be authorized to connect to a subscription plan upon an external API call that confirms a credit card payment.

To learn more about Sentinel's custom subscription plan structure checkout:

In order for the mainstream to adopt $ATOM there must be easy ways to purchase $ATOM through conventional fiat payment methods.

The Cosmo dVPN built on Sentinel allows for users to buy $ATOM using Apple Pay or Google Pay. iOS testing is now live:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/ccQg3VVU

Data consumed last month by users on the Sentinel dVPN network has reached an all-time-high of over 280 TB.

http://stats.sentinel.co

Its time to start focusing on utility beyond simple speculation, on ecosystems that have the ability to make a real impact in the world.

There are 50+ community volunteers powering the Sentinel Scout AI Data layer using the bandwidth from their Android phones.

Testing is happening on a daily basis before the public launch of http://scout.sentinel.co and the AI data miner incentive program.

Anyone can build a dVPN application on Sentinel's infrastructure, choosing from dVPN nodes hosted in over 100 countries in the world spread across 600+ cities.

Add 1000 nodes to your dVPN application for as low as $3000/month! (excluding subsidies)

Over 700k users so far

Rumble is blocked in France due to government demands. A friendly reminder for freedom of speech supporters in France: you can still access Rumble with our decentralized VPN.

Sentinel $DVPN is being integrated into Axelar in March, enabling $DVPN to achieve interoperability to the Solana and Ethereum chains allowing for the creation of liquidity pools in DEXs on these chains.

Thanks to the Axelar ecosystem for the support for Cosmos chains!
