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
