🎉🎊 After 3 years of consistent building, Sentinel has begun its mainnet journey and is transitioning its current ETH based $dVPN applications over to its own native Cosmos based chain. 🎊🎉
Sentinel's dVPN applications have proven traction, the next step is monetization. The architecture of the Sentinel network features both technical ingenuity as well as economic pragmatism.
The Sentinel Cosmos blockchain becomes the #dVPN server, dVPN applications will operate smoothly on Sentinel as long as Sentinel's own validators are not compromised.
A big thank you to Benjamin Powers for taking the time to really dig into Sentinel's technology and for interviewing @DanExidio and the Exidio team.
Coindesk did an amazing job with this piece showcasing the power of decentralized VPN.

Sentinel's $SENT token has been rebranded into the $DVPN token, and is listing on MXCExchange today at 11:00 AM UTC!
MXC provides Sentinel a great opportunity to gain exposure to larger Tier 1 exchanges. Sentinel is focused on securing a Tier 1 soon.
https://sentinel.medium.com/sentinels-dvpn-token-lists-on-mxc-exchange-19d24e689941
The community is beginning to see an increase in marketing efforts that spread the awareness of the Sentinel ecosystem and the purpose of its dVPN.
Sentinel has some of the most influential Chinese and English PR firms in the Blockchain ecosystem in cooperation and is also beginning to spread to the grassroots communities.
While marketing is important, decreasing the barriers of entry to acquire the token is also important. Lowering barriers to acquire DVPN tokens includes a strategy of access to the dVPN token on DEXs on Cosmos and ETH/BSC (with the Cosmos IBC Peg), as well as access to the token on reputed centralized exchanges.

With Sentinel's new 'Staking Incentive' Program, longer term holders have the ability to earn a significant amount of Sentinel token by staking their liquid $dVPN tokens for at least 1 year.
Participate in the program today by reading:
https://sentinel.medium.com/staking-incentive-for-long-term-token-holders-5793253e0a3c
Sentinel is one of the first networks built on Cosmos that will be implementing a 'tiered inflation' system, allowing for token stakers to achieve higher rates by locking up their tokens for longer periods of time, effectively reducing the overall circulating supply.
This 'Staking Incentive' program allows for users to simulate the experience of utilizing the upcoming 'Tiered Inflation' feature that will be integrated at Sentinel's core consensus layer later on in this year.
Longer term holder = more benefits accrued.

Sentinel's new Wireguard based dVPN node on Cosmos also includes a HNS #Handshake network resolver.
Once the new Sentinel dVPN protocol built on Cosmos is configured for Open-WRT compatibility, all hardware routers which run Sentinel nodes will also run HNS resolvers.
While a #dVPN network allows a user to bypass restrictions set by their ISP, entities which control our centralized internet such as ICANN have the ability to restrict user access from any domain. $HNS empowers a decentralized and unrestricted parallel 'internet' network.
The configuration documentation for Sentinel's @cosmos based $dVPN node can be found at:
https://github.com/sentinel-official/docs/blob/master/guides/nodes/dVPN/CONFIGURATION.md
Sentinel's goal is to bridge the utility of the #Handshake network with the utility of the Cosmos #IBC ecosystem.
Now with the expansion of Exidio.co's team, the Sentinel ecosystem will have an increase in developer bandwidth to build out a fully hollistic and interoperable dVPN solution.

A validator is not just an entity which hosts a server that confirms transactions on the network, a validator is an entity/group of people that contributes to a decentralized ecosystem in addition to maintaining high quality security standards while also participating in governance matters with an unbiased standpoint.
The criteria for delegation includes:
-Technical/Ecosystem contributions to the Cosmos Network or other decentralized networks in the Cosmos Ecosystem
-Technical/Ecosystem contributions till date to the Sentinel Ecosystem
-Plans for future technical/ecosystem contributions to the Sentinel Ecosystem
-Past participation/Plans for future participation in Sentinel’s bandwidth monetization economy (e.g hosting of a node, deployment of a white-labelled dVPN)
-Validator Experience and Technical Architecture/Security Standards
-Access to notable influencers and distribution channels that have the ability to bridge our message to other communities
Sentinel's validator set will soon be expanding from a maximum of 50 validators to 64 validators.

Sentinel is pleased to share the formation of an alliance with StrongBlock to increase #dVPN node scaling across the globe. This collaboration sets the stage for Sentinel’s dVPN to expand in scope and utility, in addition to creating new use cases for the underlying network.
Together, Sentinel and StrongBlock will provide a decentralized VPN that exceeds the currently limited performance and user experience of centralized competitors such as NordVPN, TunnelBear, Mullvad, and ExpressVPN, which all suffer from single points of failure as a result of their centralized design.
Additionally, both StrongBlock and bitcoin.com will be operating validator nodes on the Sentinel network in partnership with Pangea Blockchain Fund. The fund is backed by renowned blockchain entrepreneur Roger Ver and the new Pangea Research project.

Sentinel and StrongBlock Partner to Increase dVPN Availability and Utility
Blockchain entrepreneur Roger Ver shares support of growing decentralized VPN network
Sentinel is excited to share that bandwidth sharing will become available for testing on the Sentinel Turing-4 Cosmos IBC-enabled testnet starting in May. This transition marks a significant leap forward for the development of decentralized applications (dApps) that can be built on top of the Sentinel protocol as part of its up-and-coming provably private Web3 stack.
Once the testnet build has passed inspection from contributors and the broader development community, Sentinel users will be able to monetize their bandwidth across blockchains. It is expected that this process will take between 3 - 4 days. Successful implementation will be determined by Sentinel validators.
In order to issue the governance update, validators must certify the update proposal. This will trigger the transition to the Cosmos IBC mainnet at which point users will be able to build new applications like provably private decentralized exchanges (DEXs) across blockchains. This rapid advancement of the Sentinel protocol will expand developer use cases exponentially.
Through this momentous development, Sentinel invites validators to begin testing the Sentinel dVPN protocol on Cosmos IBC testnet beginning Monday, May 3rd.. If testing goes according to plan, the Sentinel network should migrate to IBC mainnet by May 24th. Validators who want to participate in the testnet will have to submit GenTx in the testnet repository, more details about it will be shared soon.
