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.

We’ve had so many DMs from community members asking for the video that introduced CEO of Exidio Dan Edlebeck's talk at #Cosmoverse to be released to the public that we thought we’d better post it. Enjoy!
Dan from Exidio writes for Nasdaq on how blockchain and decentralization is helping to protect against censorship.
"#dVPN networks democratize internet access, allowing anyone in the world to connect to the network and evade surveillance."

How Blockchain Tech, Digital Currency and the DeFi/Decentralization Movement are Democratizing Global Access and Increasing Personal…
As the world begins to understand and accept the ideas and forces that underpin the eruption of the digital currency movement, the many benefits of decentralized finance are becoming apparent.
From the autonomous Solar Labs team, one of the key organizations building dVPN applications on-top of the Sentinel dVPN framework.
🔥 Announcing SOLAR DVPN — our new blockchain-based VPN app for iOS, Android, Mac & PC.
Today we're opening a whole new era of all-new decentralized VPN services. We're glad to announce SOLAR DVPN. It is much more than just a traditional VPN app. Built on top of state-of-the-art Sentinel Framework and operating on top of the incredibly fast Cosmos Blockchain, SOLAR DVPN is going to be an industry-leading tool for censorship circumvention & privacy protection.
At SOLAR Labs, trade-off is not an option. That's why we've made our app a great combination of breakthrough technologies with a simple yet powerful user interface with flawless user experience.
Coming this winter. Stay tuned.

Several new white-label applications are being launched from the ecosystem before the end of the year, desktop app is almost out.
These statistics will soon include the usage from the Sentinel iOS client (once it is accepted by the App store), upcoming Mac OS client, upcoming Linux client, upcoming Windows client, as well as the Exidio and Solar labs white label applications in addition to other White label applications built on Sentinel’s dVPN protocol.
The 4 key categories of statistics that are available on this page include:

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.

After months of hard work in testing and finding the optimal hardware, @IndigitusVPN will soon be revealing their $DVPN 'bandwidth mining' router which will allow users to earn off of their excess bandwidth
These routers along with cloud-based nodes will power #dVPNs on Sentinel.
An official promotion video from Indigitus will soon follow in addition to more information on pre-orders and technical specifications of the hardware device.

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.

Yesterday on the 17th of March, the $dVPN network reached an all-time-high record of over 1300 concurrent users. That means over 1300 people were paying for and using dVPN applications built on Sentinel's protocol at the same time!
stats.sentinel.co
The record on Sentinel's ETH based dVPN protocol was over 2000 users, however those were free users. Reaching a mark of over 1000 paying users online at the same time is truly commendable and the biggest gratitude goes out to the community that has made this possible.
The Sentinel dVPN network has been online for over 3 years now and once these mobile and desktop applications built on Cosmos are truly robust and feature-rich, white-labelling will begin at a rapid pace exponentially increasing Sentinel's market reach and aggregate user-count.
There are very few dApps in existence that provide true utility to the mainstream consumer.
Join the Sentinel network in its journey of providing provable privacy to millions of users all around the world!
