Sentinel Scout GitBook – Early Draft Release

Leading up to the official launch of Sentinel Scout with its AI partner which is a top 100 project, the Sentinel Scout documentation is being finalized.

This draft is an outline of the documentation and is intended to provide the community with an initial view of the platform’s direction. It includes details on the architecture, API interface, Android data miner, and the foundations of Scout’s decentralized scraping system.

Please note:

This is not the final version. Sections will be expanded and refined in future updates.

Some areas are placeholders for upcoming features, such as storage integrations and ZK proofing.

This GitBook marks the beginning of a structured knowledge base to support developers and AI agents building on Sentinel Scout.

Dedicated Sections for integrating Scout with various agent building tools such as N8N will be introduced.

Sentinel’s custom on-chain subscription contract modules have now powered over 1 million unique user subscriptions, proving that Sentinels infrastructure for creating a white-labelled dVPN application can work at scale.

There are two main ways a user connects to a dVPN node on Sentinel:

1) Direct Peer-to-Peer Payment:
The user subscribes to a node and pays the operator in $P2P. This is a direct interaction where payments flow from user to node with the chain enforcing session rules.

2) On-Chain Subscription Contract
The user makes a payment into the subscription contract and is then authorized to connect to a pool of dVPN nodes that an app developer or contract owner has consolidated and pre-paid.

The subscription contract reflects real-world VPN economics. In traditional VPNs, companies rent or purchase cloud servers, bundle them together, and resell them to end users.

On Sentinel, dVPN app creators lock $P2P with nodes, add them into the contract, and give end users one-click access across the consolidated pool.

Access can be triggered by more than on-chain $P2P payments. Off-chain signals, such as API calls, credit card payments, or free trial authorizations, can also be used. This gives dVPN apps on Sentinel the ability to offer seamless onboarding similar to centralized VPNs, while still being fully decentralized and verifiable at the settlement layer.

This system has already scaled to over one million unique users. It proves that Sentinel’s modules are not only resilient but also capable of replicating and improving on centralized VPN models.

Thanks to @freQniKs for deriving these stats from the Sentinel P2P chain and making them publicly available

Sentinel's 5 figure weekly active user count is about to be a thing of the past with the new centralized VPN that is launching on Sentinel's P2P Layer 1 chain.

Sentinel is already doing 20% of the daily bandwidth consumption of the Helium network. Now stats are about to rocket

🚀 DVPN App 2.0.0 for macOS is now live!

Our latest update is available for download on the Apple App Store. Here's what's new:

— Advanced Obfuscation: In highly censored regions like the Middle East and China, where online freedoms are most oppressed, regular VPN connections can be blocked by your ISP's Deep Packet Inspection filters. This feature evades behavioral-matching algorithms, making your VPN traffic much harder to detect.

— Alternative Routing: To connect, the app fetches server lists from the blockchain—but what if those endpoints are restricted? This cutting-edge solution reroutes blockchain communications via public DNS servers, blending them seamlessly with everyday online activity.

— Node Selection: Choose a specific dVPN node to connect to, rather than just selecting a city as before.

The app now embraces macOS's latest design trends with stunning Liquid Glass UI elements.

Give it a spin—download now!

Who could imagine that the oldest democratic country in the world would be capable of infringing on Internet freedom?

The war against unrestricted usage of the internet is only beginning. Centralized VPNs will cooperate with govts as they have before.

Use decentralized VPNs

A new dVPN application is soon entering the Sentinel ecosystem.

Sentinel has the only protocol for creating a decentralized VPN allowing developers to package a dVPN into their app and offer access to Sentinel nodes to their end-users.

Building a VPN app is hard when you start from scratch. You need servers in dozens of countries, engineers to manage them, and a legal team willing to carry the risks. Most companies spend more time maintaining infrastructure than growing their product.

Sentinel changes that. The network already exists - a global pool of independently operated nodes providing bandwidth. The blockchain handles coordination, payments, and access automatically. That means organizations can skip the heavy lifting and focus on what really matters: building a brand, creating a great user experience, and reaching customers.

For a business, this shift is powerful. Instead of running servers, you tap into a live decentralized network. Instead of taking on liability, you simply package the service into your own app. Growth is faster, costs are lower, and scale comes built-in.

Traditional VPNs are centralized, fragile, and increasingly distrusted. Sentinel gives companies a way to launch faster, differentiate their product, and step into a privacy market that’s demanding more transparency and decentralization every year.

There are centralized white-label VPN providers such as Nord, however none of these white-labels offer transparency into the code or the nodes. That means companies that build using centralized VPN white-labels have no idea about how their user data and encryption settings are being managed in the back-end.

Sentinel's protocol is fully open-source, allowing for organizations building on Sentinel to truly have the confidence and trust that they use the Sentinel dVPN protocol to provide privacy services to their end-users.

Users can now seamlessly swap $SOL into $P2P at http://swap.sentinel.co, powered by Polaris.

This gives Solana users early access to P2P ahead of the IBC Eureka upgrade, which will bring full IBC compatibility to Solana and enable native liquidity pools for $P2P/SOL trading.

Core Fetch team member giving a shoutout to Sentinel Scout DeAI

Very soon Sentinel will be both a DePin+DeAI categorized project, and the only network to create a real impact with tangible products in both areas.

Sentinel's journey is just beginning. The L1 for Bandwidth is here

Get ready for Sentinel to become an official DeAI project very soon

Sentinel's DeAI infrastructure is being launched in collaboration with the top #70 market cap token Fetch/Rank 2 in DeAI

People are slowly realizing that they can't trust VPN applications. The trend is coming.

Right now people are recommending 'more trusted' centralized VPNs. Soon they will be recommending decentralized VPNs.

Do you use open-source wallets? If so, why is your VPN closed source?

No longer do people on X/Twitter ask: Why do you need a decentralized VPN?

The trend of people on X calling out the dangers of centralized VPNs is increasing rapidly.

The age of decentralized VPNs is dawning upon us.

KuCoin has temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals of DVPN while they update the ticker to P2P, reflecting Sentinel's official rebrand.

Trading and wallet functions will resume once the update is complete.

For now, no action is required from holders. Stay tuned for the official confirmation from KuCoin when deposits and withdrawals reopen.

Why is there a heavy increase in daily active users on Sentinel?

Is it because Sentinel has the first dVPN protocol to onboard a centralized VPN application and testing has already begun with real users?

Maybe? If it is true, then Sentinel stats are soon about to explode

DVPN Trading on Kucoin is currently closed as the ticker name for Sentinel will change to P2P, more accurately reflecting Sentinel's positioning as the Layer-1 for P2P Bandwidth.

Thanks to Kucoin for being a great and extremely responsive exchange partner that supports Sentinel

Covid 2020 was an extremely tumultuous time as well, however projects with a focus on utility and creating a tangible impact in the world prevailed and reached new heights.

Unique users who connected to a dVPN app built on Sentinel within a 1 week period hit nearly 40k last week and is on track for a new ATH soon.

Sentinel has a clear focus on increasing the number of users utilizing decentralized peer to peer bandwidth services on its layer 1 composing of decentralized VPN and decentralized AI data layer services. The growth is measurable and progress is consistent.

The macro environment will only grow stronger with interest rate decreases and an increase in monetary supply, almost all DePin/AI tokens are near their lows - however the projects that focused on tangible utility will survive and grow.

Hodl strong blu frens. Moon soon.
