Tune in to the Sentinel x Indigitus AMA on our telegram at 15:00 UTC on Monday, June 7th!

Join at https://t.me/sentinel_co

The CEO of Exidio, Dan Edlebeck will be joined by Michael Michelini, co-founder of Indigitus, for an open chat around the Sentinel and Indigitus integration.

Sentinel's Cosmos based dVPN client and node are being configured for the OpenWrt router firmware.

The integration with the Indigitus Router will greatly expand the Sentinel ecosystem to allow users globally to monetize their bandwidth and access websites built on Handshake.

The Indigitus website along with additional product specifications will be released in the following weeks followed by pre-order processes.

The Sentinel ecosystem is transitioning from a previously underground and obscure ERC-20 token, to a transparent and thriving eocsystem driven by professionals and dedicated community members.
The Sentinel Hub has now produced 1M+ blocks since mainnet launch on March 27.

Thank you for the support!

A preview of the interface to host a Cosmos based dVPN node on the Sentinel Network, from the pre-release version of the Handyhost DWeb Control Panel.

This revolutionary initiative is being driven by Alex Smith and Steven_McKie, and allows a user to:

1) Mine the dVPN token by using bandwidth resource

2) Mine the SIA token by using storage resource

3) Mine the AKT token by using computing resource

The Official Sentinel Cosmos based dVPN node is yet to be released, and will be released on the 25th of this month along with the Sentinel v3 dVPN CLI Client.

This CLI client will allow users to access to the Sentinel Cosmos Based dVPN Network through the command line interface and will be followed by the v3 dVPN application.

Handyhost website release next month!
The first IBC transfer transaction from the #Sentinel Hub (http://explorer.sentinel.co) is complete!

This transaction happened between the Sentinel Hub and the Osmosis Zone

https://mintscan.io/sentinel/txs/3FE6EA9190CB77B4340DE191F2BDE9E929A12D697B6225C0CD8D6BC1C8A7CCAA

The 'Cosmos IBC' is the most well-governed and secure interoperability protocol.

The Cosmos IBC protocol not only allows for dVPNs built on Sentinel to accept cross-chain payments for bandwidth usage, but will also immediately allow Sentinel's native dVPN token to be interoperably traded on the various DEX environments in the Cosmos ecosystem.
$DVPN/$ATOM + $DVPN/$OSMO pairs are live on Osmosis.

Users can now freely add liquidity.

Link: app.osmosis.zone

Happy trading!
The Cosmos Inter-Chain De-Fi revolution IS HERE!

Sentinel's liquidity on Osmosis Zone within days of its launch stands at a total of nearly $3Million.

This is nearly 10x Sentinel's 'all-time-high' liquidity on Uniswap which stood at around $300k.

https://app.osmosis.zone/pools

is the first AMM in the Cosmos ecosystem and will soon be accompanied by the Gravity Dex.

Place your first IBC powered inter-chain trade today at:

https://app.osmosis.zone/

Decentralized networks which are built on Cosmos and have their own sovereign governance, are able to have their native tokens transferred cross-chain using the Cosmos IBC.
Community members will soon have the ability to become 'bandwidth miners', by hosting a Sentinel Cosmos based $dVPN node on an Indigitus VPN router and monetizing off of their bandwidth.

Sentinel is currently the most widely used networking DApp infrastructure, with hundreds of thousands of active devices using the network on Android alone.

The network is consistently achieving over 5 TB of utility per day on the 'free' network

https://stats.sentinel.co.

The Sentinel hardware network will have a tremendous amount of utility as compared to other existing networking related hardware networks as it will be fueling the Sentinel dVPN ecosystem which has already proven to reach more general mainstream users than any other decentralized networking ecosystem till date.

The monetization of the Sentinel Network is here!

Over the past 24 hours, Sentinel #dVPN nodes have been launched on the sentinelhub-2 with users paying for bandwidth and node hosts being rewarded in $DVPN.

First user paid session on Sentinel:

You can read up on how to host a node here: https://github.com/sentinel-official/dvpn-node/blob/development/README.md
Sentinel's Cosmos based sovereign blockchain is now processing IBC transfers as well as 'status updates' from WireGuardVPN-based dVPN nodes hosted on Sentinel.

Example of a dVPN node 'status update' message:
https://www.mintscan.io/sentinel/txs/2A35EEE8FAC2798BE09110D8183C87A7A37263BE456EBCDBD9B9A7EC4B64A3DD

Nodes hosted on Sentinel communicate with its blockchain periodically to indicate their status and other properties.


Simply put, dVPN applications built on Sentinel will only go down if Sentinel's chain goes down.

The user's application will query the blockchain in order to populate the list of available nodes and various other data about the node.

A big thanks for all of the support. Sentinel aims to have the largest peer-to-peer bandwidth marketplace on the planet. This audacious goal simply wouldn't be possible without you.
The Sentinel dVPN network is used by over 400k devices (mobile + desktop) and will soon transition to Cosmos from Ethereum.

Sentinel will allow for users to 'mine bandwidth' from their own router, and will encourage tens of thousands of hardware devices to provide bandwidth.

Sentinel's dVPN nodes on Cosmos are being designed to be compatible with any Open-WRT enabled router, and users will not be restricted to purchasing affiliated routers and can use their own.

Indigitus VPN has the first router supporting Sentinel's Wireguard dVPN exit-nodes on Cosmos are now open-sourced and are being hosted by community members for users of the CLI dVPN client.

After the release of the desktop dVPN application, the node incentivization program will commence.

Guide to host a Sentinel dVPN node on Cosmos:

https://github.com/sentinel-official/docs/blob/master/guides/nodes/dVPN/SETUP.md
Sentinel's dVPN network on Cosmos is now live with over 20 community members hosting WireGuardVPN based exit-nodes.

The new dVPN network on Cosmos can be used through CLI, with fully fledged desktop applications releasing soon.

New stats page and incentive program soon!

Sentinel is excited to announce its much-awaited dVPN incentive programs on its own native Hub that the community can participate in. These incentive programs are funded in DVPN tokens and these programs will be made available immediately following the new Desktop client release. This post provides an introduction to the various incentive programs and there will be follow-on articles with more thorough details.

We hope that the community is prepared for the massive network expansion and growth that the Sentinel ecosystem will soon experience, similar to the exemplary results that Sentinel’s first incentive program yielded in 2018.

With the transition of the Sentinel 'Decentralized VPN' network from Ethereum to cosmos, a series of incentive programs will soon commence targeting:

- Node hosts
- dVPN application users
- White-label operators
- DVPN token stakers
- Ecosystem Developers

*Incentives related to ‘Bandwidth Mining’ done by physical Hardware devices operating as Sentinel dVPN nodes will be detailed in another article.

*All incentives will start after the new Desktop application is launched

SENTINEL $SENT ERC20 TOKEN SWAP ENDING 1st of September

Swap your ERC20 tokens to $dVPN tokens on Sentinel's Hub

LINK: swap.sentinel.co

Sentinel is now a fully Cosmos native project, and in the coming months all bandwidth providers operating on Sentinel's ETH based dVPN will transition over fully to Sentinel's Cosmos based dVPNs.

The Sentinel mainnet launched on March 27, 2021, and people who have still not swapped their tokens yet have sufficient time to swap their tokens to Sentinel's Cosmos based main net, and stake their $DVPN tokens to generate staking rewards.

27 March 2021- 1st September 2021 - Nearly a 5 months swap window

There will be constant updates and also communication with exchanges that are supporting the ERC-20 token on the swap.
The SOLAR dVPN built by SOLAR Labs is the first white-label application being developed on Sentinel's dVPN framework built on Cosmos.

SOLAR Labs is using Sentinel's framework to build open-source Sentinel (Cosmos dVPN + Wallet) mobile applications that can be used by community members and can be built ontop of by other developers.

More details will be announced on an upcoming AMA with Dan Edlebeck from Exidio and the CEO of SOLAR Labs.
