Sentinel Hub Upgrade Scheduled for Later in October - The Hub upgrade scheduled for later in October is an extremely important upgrade and includes:

- Upgrading the Sentinel Hub to the newest version of the Cosmos SDK
- Enforcing minimum dVPN node pricing
- Adding CosmWasm smart contract capabilities on the Hub
- Long term staking contracts incentivizing users to receive a higher inflation rewards in exchange for longer term minimum staking periods

Minimum dVPN Node Pricing - The 'Minimum dVPN Node Pricing' update will ensure the economic feasibility for dVPN node hosts to provide services. This minimum pricing standard will be determined through governance proposals and will be voted on by the community.

Reinstatement of Node Reward Structure - The patience of the node host community is extremely appreciated in these times as a proper solution for incentivization that cannot be gamed is worked towards. Since the temporary suspension of the program a considerable number of nodes that were abusing the system have been taken offline. Along with the reinstatement of the program as well as the addition of the minimum node pricing, the economics for node hosts will become much more robust as compared to the earnings in the recent times.

❓Do you have questions? We have answers!❗

AMA session with Alexandr Litreev finally will take place!

When: 18th of October
Time: 2 PM UTC (17:00 Tallinn time)
Platform: Youtube (on-line)

A short announcement from Aleksandr Litreev CEO of SOLAR Labs:

"This autumn we are going to revolutionize Sentinel with an all-new tool that is going to bring mass-additions to the network.

As we began our path of creation of SOLAR dVPN — our goal was not to become monopolist, but to make sure we plant seeds for growth of dVPN even beyond SOLAR Labs.

That’s why we are going to be releasing the SOLAR dVPN Toolkit — enabling you to create your very own dVPN app within MINUTES without even having to code!

With the SOLAR dVPN Toolkit even your grandma will be able to make a dVPN application. With just a few clicks, apps for all mobile platforms are ready and fully functional, with integrated payment solutions all of which are of course, completely open source.

There are no competitors in Web 3, There are only common-goal comrades.

Stay tuned."

SOLAR Labs ❤️‍🔥 Open Source

At SOLAR Labs we believe that contributing to the open source and helping others is a keystone to mass adoption of Web 3.0 technologies.

We're glad to announce that SOLAR Labs making an another leap forward to bring dVPN to masses. Today we made source code of our SOLAR dVPN: Community Edition for iOS open source.

Building your own dVPN app is simpler than ever. From now on VPN service providers won't need any iOS, Android or any other platform-specific developers — SOLAR dVPN: Community Edition will take care of core functionality using the same user interface on each platform.

Check our GitHub for the source code of the iOS app and UI API documentation.

Live now.

We starting soon:

What are Gems in the Solar DVPN app and are they the same as DVPN tokens ?

The answer is very simple

When you top-up your account via in-app purchases, you receive gems. 100 gems = 1 DVPN and vice versa.

When you top-up your DVPN wallet in crypto, your tokens convert to gems automatically. If you decide to interact with your DVPN wallet somehow else (e.g. via Kelpr), you'll see the amount in DVPN tokens again.

🛟 Better safe than sorry!

No secret — dVPN is promising. Even the villains know that. Malicious actors are constantly trying to steal your dVPN gems. Of course, we won't let you down.

The proposal for the new dVPN Hub v0.10.0 upgrade will soon be issued on-chain. This Hub upgrade is a very critical upgrade for the Sentinel ecosystem as it primarily allows for the functioning of smart contracts and also enables the token revenue sharing system (work token).

The command line interface client (CLI) for Sentinel #dVPN on #Windows is now available for release.

This CLI application allows for users to connect to dVPN nodes from their Windows devices and allows for developers to build Windows based $dVPN apps.

Git: https://github.com/sentinel-official/cli-client/releases/tag/v0.1.10

Proposal 19 is now live on chain to vote on.

Within it, there are various upgrades detailed that have been put forward.

Full proposal: https://www.mintscan.io/sentinel/proposals/19

Discuss it here: https://commonwealth.im/sentinel/discussion/6782-sentinel-next-upgrade

Join Aleksandr Litreev, the CEO of SOLAR Labs when he speaks at The Greater Reset Conference at 1045 CST on 21st January. - 5 days from now.

His segment is titled: TAKING BACK DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY WITH SENTINEL DVPN

Online: Streaming free at: https://thegreaterreset.org/

The Sentinel upgrade comes live on the Hub within just 3 days!

As mentioned before the new node incentive program will begin with the new upgrade so we should see a sharp increase in the number of community participants and very strong network trajectory again from the month of February

Right now two key websites are being developed in parallel:
1) Sentinel new homepage
2) Sentinel stats page

Both websites will be released in February

V2Ray Focus:
A very important and big update to make to the Sentinel community is the development focus on V2ray with the completion of the new dedicated network stats server+APIs.

The Sentinel ecosystem has always recognized the importance of the Chinese ecosystem as it is the world's largest userbase of users who require a VPN application on a daily basis. However in the past years the ecosystem was unable to cater to the Chinese ecosystem as the networking protocols that Sentinel had integrated in the past have been restricted from China, these protocols include Wireguard, OpenVPN, Socks5.

The team identified that the protocol V2Ray has been extremely strong in terms of its functionality with Chinese users and the independent community development organization MathNodes has been conducting v2ray server testing with users from our Iranian and Chinese communities and has validated our assumptions. Now the core Sentinel development team is shifting its focus onto integrating the v2ray server with the Sentinel blockchain, the way the Wireguard node is currently integrated.

We hope to see testing of v2ray nodes integrated with the Sentinel chain to begin in the month of February. Now in 2023 Sentinel will be able to execute its strategy of building a strong Chinese ecosystem and providing value to community members based in China
