Announcement - Unlock Extension
We would like to thank Sentinel's spectacular community for supporting the network and its growth over the past four years.
The month of September 2021 is the most important month in the history of the Sentinel ecosystem to date as Sentinel's first user-facing Cosmos-based dVPN mobile applications will be released, and right after that the dVPN desktop applications are scheduled to launch in October.
The Sentinel ecosystem first began in 2017, the peer-to-peer bandwidth network launched in early 2018, and development on Cosmos began in mid 2018. Over the years, Sentinel launched four different Cosmos-based testnets and also participated in both of Cosmos's community hackathon events earning accolades in both with significant success in the 'Game of Zones' competition.
For the past three years, Sentinel has maintained a highly successful dVPN network on Ethereum which has powered two Android dVPN applications currently installed on over 400,000 devices and used by thousands of unique users per day. The Velocity and Sentinel dVPN Android applications showed the potential for dVPN applications to be some of the first dApps to actually access the mainstream consumer base which is largely untapped by almost all dApps.
Sentinel's dVPN network on Ethereum was always intended to be a temporary network as it was clear that Ethereum did not offer Sentinel's dVPN framework architecture what it required from a Layer 1 protocol. Sentinel's dVPN applications on Ethereum required a centralized masternode for node-query and discovery, however on Cosmos, Sentinel uses its own hub as a DHT where nodes communicate with the blockchain periodically for users to query available nodes directly from the chain. On Ethereum, Sentinel dVPN nodes depend on centralized components and the network couldn't be regarded as a 'real dVPN'.
Now, Sentinel has a truly decentralized dVPN.
Sentinel's biggest milestone till date has been to launch user-facing dVPN applications on its own Cosmos-based hub due to the tremendous benefits in terms of scalability and governance structures, along with the elimination of smart contracts with the application logic layer.
The whole ecosystem has been waiting for this month for several years, and now this month Sentinel launches its first Cosmos-based mobile and desktop dVPN applications along with a node incentivization program. Node hosts have been waiting to host a Sentinel Cosmos-based WireGuard node and earn revenue doing so.
Users have been waiting to use a Sentinel dVPN application without having to have ETH or any other test-token as gas. As of this month, users will be able to leverage Sentinel's native token at near instant transaction speeds on a Tendermint pBFT based consensus layer.
Several enterprising community members and external organizations and individuals have been waiting patiently for the release of Sentinel's new Cosmos-based dVPN applications to fork them, modify them with their own brand, and launch their own whitelabeled dVPN applications, like Velocity has successfully done of Sentinel's Ethereum-based dVPN.
This is the most important month in Sentinel's history till date and the releases that happen in this month are what Sentinel requires to exponentially scale its community in terms of token stakers, node hosts, and white-label providers.
In the best interest of the ecosystem, with the intention of allowing the impact of the releases to properly mature, Sentinel will be postponing all foundation/team related token unlocks and recent investor unlocks by three months and will be issuing a proposal regarding the same.
We appreciate the community's support over the past four years and we look forward to disrupting the centralized VPN industry by empowering individuals and organizations all over the world to launch their own decentralized and provably secure dVPN application.

The Private Beta testing of Sentinel's new Cosmos based Android dVPN Application has now commenced and will be followed by the public beta testing program.
This mobile applications allow for users to pay for for dVPN services on the Sentinel network with DVPN tokens.
Following the launch of dVPN mobile applications with crypto payment gateways, Sentinel will also release Android and iOS apps that are configured for traditional payment gateways and do not include the functionality of DVPN wallet transfers.
Mainstream adoption is key
It is expected that a majority of white-labelled dVPN applications built on the Sentinel framework will utilize mainstream fiat payment gateway integrations to be able to cater to the broader market outside of the crypto ecosystem.

Thanks to the $dVPN community, the overall Cosmos ecosystem, and the HNS community for the support.
Node incentive program announcement today!
3rd party organizations, existing VPN companies, and enterprising individuals will build on top of this app to create their own unique white-labeled dVPN.
White-label dVPN apps will be differentiated in terms of branding and design, as well as the use of fiat gateways.
One of the key aspects of the decentralized architecture of the Sentinel's #dVPN protocol is Sentinel's on-chain node query system.
When users connect to the dVPN, they actually scan recent transactions on Sentinel's Cosmos-based chain to identify available nodes.
Sentinel's decentralized node-query architecture is the first of its kind in the entire VPN industry.

Sentinel's first dVPN 'bandwidth mining' incentive program on its own Hub is now live! Participants can earn DVPN by hosting a WireGuardVPN based node and providing bandwidth to users on Sentinel's new Android/iOS clients, as well as the desktop CLI.
This Incentivized Bandwidth Mining program is extremely significant as:
1) It incentivizes the hosting of Sentinel’s first wireguard based dVPN node on its own Hub, ushering in the transition of node hosts on Sentinel’s ETH based network to completely transition to its Cosmos based network
2) It increases the resiliency and total bandwidth offering of the Sentinel dVPN node network in coordination with the release of Sentinel’s first Cosmos based dVPN mobile applications
3) It incentivizes the adoption of the first-ever interoperable dVPN payments, facilitated by the Cosmos IBC which allows for users to pay dVPN nodes in UST and ATOM in addition to storing these tokens in a Sentinel mobile/desktop wallet
4) It incentivizes the hosting of more Handshake resolvers increasing the robustness of the HNS network, allowing for the proliferation of the leading decentralized DNS network
5) It encourages the use and adoption of the HandyHost mining software which integrates the dVPN ecosystem with the Sia and Akash ecosystem by allowing users to provide their storage and compute resources to these respective networks
The Sentinel ecosystem is fortunate to have the support of the HandyHost team with the release of the HandyHost miner which allows users to setup a Sentinel dVPN node with just a few clicks in an easy to use interface.

The first white-labeled dVPN application built on the Sentinel dVPN framework is releasing in 1 week.
https://apps.apple.com/app/exidio-dvpn/id1597126716
The Exidio dVPN application is one of the first dApps to facilitate seamless in-app purchases through ApplePay, allowing users to pay with their debit/credit card.
dVPN nodes receive income in the form of dVPN tokens (and soon other IBC supported assets including UST), while the end-users are able to pay in the form of fiat.
Integrating traditional payment channels broadens the target market of dVPN applications built on Sentinel exponentially, and allows for dVPNs built on Sentinel to reach the global mainstream audience.
While a single dVPN built on Sentinel cannot compete with multi-billion dollar centralized VPN conglomerates which have yearly marketing budgets in the 10s of Millions, a global network of decentralized and autonomous dVPN applications have the ability to capture a serious % of the global VPN market share.

There are 80 people using #dVPN applications built on Sentinel at this exact moment.
View Real-Time Network statistics at: Visit: http://Stats.sentinel.co
Before Sentinel transitioned to the Cosmos ecosystem, it would be common to find over a 1000 concurrent users on Sentinel's ETH based $DVPN applications.
However, it is important to note that the current statistics represent the network activity of paying users, while the older statistics of Sentinel's #ETH based #dVPN network represented the activity of free users.
Obviously it is much easier to see a strong trajectory in growth of a free dVPN application, generating a strong trajectory for monetized dVPN applications is the real challenge and this is the focus of the ecosystem at this point of time.
The more users are paying, more node revenue is generated, resulting in an overall increase in protocol revenue which will be shared with $DVPN token stakers.
The Sentinel ecosystem is striving towards 4 digit active sessions, before higher goals.

Did you know that dVPN nodes are able to accept $OSMO and other IBC supported tokens?
Existing dVPN applications and white-labelled applications will be able to support user payments in the form of OSMO in future updates, while users of the CLI client can pay in OSMO today!
As the aggregate consumption of bandwidth of dVPNs built on the Sentinel framework increases, fee sharing to dVPN token stakers will begin with stakers receiving fee-shares in the form of different IBC supported tokens that are accepted by Sentinel dVPN node hosts.
