The next versions of the #iOS and #Android applications will be running on SENT's #Cosmos based testnet.
The $SENT ecosystem would like to thank the validators who have supported the SENT cosmos based testnets.

This image shows the performance of the some top validators on the Turing-2 testnet in terms of the number of blocks they have committed.

The Turing-2 testnet can be viewed at http://explorer.sentinel.co, and will shortly be replaced by Turing-3 which will feature newly built Tendermint based #dVPN clients.

Validators who have participated till date will receive incentives for their support and incentives for participation on Turing-3 will be announced with the launch of the new test network.

Information on how the Turing-3 was customized from the Cosmos Hub will be shared
The # of sessions in the $SENT #dVPN ecosystem has reached a new all-time-high showing ever-increasing utility and growth.

These stats (http://stats.sentinel.co) not only include stats from the Sentinel application, but also the stats from @TheVelocityVPN which is built on SENT.

$SENT's model will ensure viral growth by offering a platform for applications such as
@TheVelocityVPN to build on the Sentinel open-source codebase while utilizing the community hosted node network.

So far 2 apps #dVPN apps have been built on Sentinel and more are coming.

Fun fact: @PolarityEx is the first dex with 2FA!
A new version of the $SENT #iOS application was recently released.

If you are an IOS user join the #TestFlight group today to test out the Sentinel dVPN on your iphone and provide feedback.

Once the iOS UI/UX is perfected, it will serve as a template for other dVPN applications that are built on the Sentinel ecosystem.

SENT is proud to be apart of the @BPSAA_Official and to support its members.
In the weeks leading up to $SENT's mainnet launch on it's own native Cosmos based chain, the team is finalizing:

- An incentivized testnet
- A new whitepaper and token economics document
- A new updated website
- Sentinel #dVPN v3 Client (including APIs)
- Hardware integration
The new $SENT v3 #dVPN desktop client is coming closer to its launch.

Designs are being finalized and the back-end development is nearing the finish line, with front-end integrations pending.

A fully revamped user-friendly #Cosmos #Tendermint based application is arriving soon.
The new Turing-3 $SENT @cosmos based testnet is launching on the 21st of September.

A new upgraded #dVPN application will be launching on Turing-3 and dVPN nodes will be migrating away from the Ethereum Rinkeby testnet to Turing-3.

The Turing-3 also introduces several custom built Cosmos based modules (e.g transaction escrow), which will be fully open-sourced for other developers in the Cosmos ecosystem to integrate into their own dAPPs. More in-depth documentation will be released pertaining to the back-end functionality of the v3 client as well its micro-services architecture. This documentation will also focus on how the Sentinel decentralized VPN will interact with and utilize its future Cosmos/Tendermint based blockchain.

To find out more about the Turing-3 testnet and what it has to offer the ecosystem, read:

https://medium.com/sentinel/launch-of-turing-3-sentinels-new-cosmos-based-testnet-and-introduction-to-the-v3-client-adc7d6023cb
The Turing-3 Testnet is now LIVE with over 20 participants validating to support the network.

This testnet can be viewed at: explorer.sentinel.co

The incentivized testnet will begin on the 28th of September and end on the 15th of October.

The Testnet will not only incentivize stable and resilient performance, but will also encourage participants to compromise Sentinel's custom built Cosmos based modules (e.g transaction escrow)

The incentivization schedule for the Turing-3 testnet has been released.

https://medium.com/sentinel/sentinel-turing-3-incentivization-schedule-8b156154b28b

The key focus of Turing-3 is for participants to discover potential vulnerabilities in Sentinel's custom built Cosmos based modules that are being deployed for the #dVPN workflow.

"The key objective in this category is for participants to find potential bugs in the developed modules and exploit these bugs in order to conduct double spending attack.
Those who successfully exploit the attacks and find issues in the modules (specifically in keepers, handlers, and end blocker logics) should submit the concerned documentation on Sentinel’s official GitHub repository.

In the event of any critical bug which may halt the testnet, an immediate patch will be released and a new version of the testnet will be launched. In such a scenario, the duration of the testnet may be extended further."
The $SENT incentivized @cosmos based testnet is live with 50 validators participating in the competition.

This testnet can be viewed at: explorer.sentinel.co

The key focus of the program is for participants to find vulnerabilities in the custom built modules that are being used for transaction logic and application governance.

The modules can be viewed at: https://github.com/sentinel-official/hub

"Those who successfully exploit the attacks and find issues in the modules (specifically in keepers, handlers, and end blocker logics) should submit the concerned documentation on Sentinel’s official GitHub repository."
Category 3 Telegram group for participants in the Turing-3 Incentivized testnet is now open.

This group is meant for participants to discuss submissions and other questions pertaining to category 3. Category 3 is the most important part of the testnet and the prize pool for category 3 is 20M.
