The $SENT free #dVPN is rapidly expanding to new demographics and has reached an all-time 24HR high bandwidth consumption of 3.2 TB.
While consumption has been growing rapidly, the network is processing as much bandwidth as the average TOR exit node.
Along with the upcoming 'mainstream facing' white-labeled #dVPN organizations in Sentinel's ecosystem, the aggregate node count and bandwidth consumption across all networks will only increase exponentially.
Monetization and sustenance of a practical economic model is key.

The Sentinel ecosystem is looking forward to it's ongoing process of expansion to the stage of it's Tendermint based mainnet.
There has been a significant amount of development on the Tendermint based V2 Client and private nets which will be updated to the main Github.
https://medium.com/sentinel/sentinel-network-the-transition-to-tendermint-within-the-cosmos-network-9e0022bfb03c
The Sentinel team looks forwards to being able to have significant contribution to the Cosmos SDK in the future and will only be increasing the resources and bandwidth dedicated to development ontop of Cosmos.
Sentinel's Contribution to the Cosmos SDK
1. Fixed an issue the In IBC prototype where there were problems with incorrect sequences in the process of relaying transactions between chains. https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2896
2. Fixed an issue relating to queries where the data doesn't have proofs https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/3236
3. Fixed an issue which led to a block delay in querying the account, implemented a new query method to resolve the delay. . https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/3767
4. Reported the wrong implementation of Private key and Public key interfaces and proposed the best method to implement. For the full description check https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/373
5. Requested and suggested a way to develop a solution to get the information (including time remaining) related to blocks that had yet to be synced. For the full description https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/3365
Tendermint based modules developed for Sentinel's Tendermint dVPN app
6. For Sentinel, creation and implementation of a deposit module, custom built to maintain status pertaining to locking of tokens. https://github.com/sentinel-official/hub/tree/development/x/deposit
7. For Sentinel implemented a mechanism for locking and releasing tokens based on the application requirements, wherein this case the user had to lock tokens in order to initiate a DVPN subscription https://github.com/sentinel-official/hub/blob/development/x/vpn/handler.go#L158
The white-labelled enterprises on the Sentinel dVPN network will be and the integrating with real-world fiat payment channels and the payment gateway structure for the Sentinel Tendermint applications will be focusing on time-based subscriptions payment models.
The payment for the dVPN service through Sentinel's white-label channels will happens off-chain (e.g credit card) and a user Tendermint based account is given authorization to consume unlimited bandwidth from the network for a specific amount of time.

The $SENT zone is one of the 2 zones that is connected to the #GOZ hub from the beginning of the competition with no disruption and this is not due to luck.
When the hub was lagging, we managed to update the client with the old block header which met the RPC endpoint's time.

Sentinel is planning to transition from its Ethereum based mainnet to its Cosmos based mainnet.
Its performance in the competition shows the competence of the development team with the understanding of the Cosmos ecosystem.
The Sentinel Turing-2 Cosmos testnet can be viewed at explorer.sentinel.co. A new client for the Tendermint testnet will be released in the coming days allowing for users to simulate in-wallet delegation and transfers in preperation for the mainnet.
The swap to the mainnet will only happen after Sentinel transitions from an anonymous underground team into its official corporate structure with its foundation being located in Switzerland. The process of formalization is underway.

$SENT introduces Velocity, one of the first white-labelled #dVPN applications on the network that was built by a community member. This application features a customized UI and is running on the public #Sentinel node list. http://nodes.sentinel.co
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vpn.proxy.velocity
Applications built on #Sentinel in the future will be able to create their own permissioned 'private node' network that may be monetized as per the creator's intent.
Imagine an online gaming company white-labeling the $SENT #dVPN and integrating their own user accounts system
The team is constantly working to identify dVPN related UX issues and future versions will reflect more robust and stable integrations.

The $SENT #dVPN #iOS application is coming closer to launch with the completion of the #IKEv2 integration.
As #iOS does not support the use of the #OpenVPN protocol in 3rd party #VPN applications, the current node list, nodes.sentinel.co, will not be accessible on iOS
Community based volunteers will be called upon to host the IKEv2 nodes for the iOS application.
With over 50,000 downloads on the Google Play store and network metrics exceeding previous records, the launch of the iOS application will only increase Sentinel's reach and expand it's target market.

The community would like to thank @CryptoRichYT for providing a fantastic overview of the centralized VPN industry, the need for #dVPNs, and the various unique service propositions of $SENT.
#Sentinel marketing efforts will properly begin after the formalization process (corporate entity and foundation establishment) and new clients. Before proper proliferation of the Sentinel dVPN applications there will be a massive overhaul of the existing UI as well as the back-end functionality.
CryptoRich along with other members of the community and the core team will be focusing both on generating awareness and increasing the project's media reach through both organic as well as paid campaigns in the future.

The Sentinel ‘Node Incentivization Program’ has now ended after a duration of a little more than 1 year, and the ‘Node Mainnet Eligibility’ program will soon begin. In the past 1 year, over 15 Million Sentinel tokens have been paid out to community based node hosts who have provided bandwidth to tens of thousands of users on the Sentinel dVPN network.
We would like to thank everyone who has participated till date for their contribution to the growth of the network which has now reached a level of prominence and awareness with over 50k downloads on the Google Playstore and thousands of active daily users.
As the Sentinel network transitions into mainnet, nodes will be eligible to earn income from user subscriptions not only from the Sentinel B2C application, but also on the various white-labeled applications that will be hosted on the Sentinel dVPN protocol.
Stay tuned for more information on how you can be eligible to provide bandwidth on Sentinel’s B2C mainnet app and other apps on the protocol

The $SENT iOS application is nearing the final stages of development with the focus primarily being on UI.
The application will be available on Testflight most likely within the next week, and will be open for suggestions and comments on how the UI/UX can be improved.
Currently the application will provide access to community hosted servers that are supporting the IKEV2 protocol so the node list on the iOS application will not be the same as the current OpenVPN node list. Future integration will include WireGuard which will also be supported on other platforms, allowing for further consolidation of nodes.
The iOS application will be fully open-sourced allowing for individuals and organziations alike to customize and build on it the way that the Android client is currently being built on. The iOS application will further expand the reach of the Sentinel dVPN application.

Read $SENT's latest publication covering both the team's custom strategy to score the highest number of points in the #GameOfZones Phase 2, as well as the importance that Phase 2 had on thoroughly stress-testing #IBC
The multi-channel relayer used by the Sentinel team to achieve the highest throughput in the competition (transactions per second) has been fully open-sourced and is referenced in the blog post.
The Phase 2 of the GOZ competition tested the current version of the IBC protocol to it’s limits and allowed for unique strategies to be deployed that allowed participants to showcase their ingenuity in the aspect of increasing packet throughput. The Sentinel team believes that there is a lot of potential for optimization and refinement of the official Cosmos relayer and is eager to contribute and provide insight in terms of improvements to the relayer and the Cosmos IBC.

The $SENT ecosystem continuously strives to improve the UI/UX of the #Sentinel #dVPN in order to be on-par with mainstream #VPN apps.
With the release of the #iOS app, new features are being added to the #Android app such as 'Quick Connect'.
In order for #Sentinel to compete with the mainstream industry, features such as the fiat-payment gateway integration and multi-device support are a must in addition to an easy to use application.
The back-end of the Sentinel dVPN is being completely rebuilt and we will see heavy increase in performance and a drastic change in networking issues that are being experienced by a smaller segment of the userbase.
Thanks to very hardworking community member @Elysium_co for assistance
