The Sentinel ecosystem would like to thank Binance Research
for showcasing dVPN in their latest DePin research report.

https://twitter.com/BinanceResearch/status/1752615847305400800

With 40k MAU and consistent 4-5k DAU, Sentinel is one of the most used DePin networks.

The original Sentinel dVPN app on ETH reached over 1 Million downloads on the Google Play Store, and was deprecated after Sentinel transitioned from ETH.

Now after 3 years the Sentinel dVPN app returns.

Testing for the flagship app is open at: https://t.me/VPNproducttesting

Sentinel Hub's transaction throughput is a testament to the scalability of the Cosmos-SDK.

With over 300k transactions per day in the recent days and over 12 million transactions in the last 30 days, there is no other stack that can handle what the Sentinel ecosystem needs.

Most of the transactions are application-logic related, including transactions related to Sentinel's on-chain DHT as well as connection and disconnection related transactions.

Sentinel may establish a zone with shared security for additional scalability in the future.

Sentinel has one of the most truly decentralized architectures in the DePin ecosystem. Every node communicates with the chain every few minutes to indicate its availability and applications scan the chain to show available nodes. Connection and disconnection fully on-chain.

Sentinel would like to thank all of the builders of the Cosmos ecosystem for creating such a great infrastructure to build a chain that is capable of providing the resources for the Sentinel ecosystem to be a leader in #DePin in terms of # of active users.

40k MAU 5-7k DAU

The directives for the community are clear - any contributions in these areas will be prioritized. Can use growth DAO chat for discussion and approved initiatives will receive incentives.

1) Residential Nodes - The first residential node subscription has been established and is live, it is not being used by any app but over 50 nodes are being incentivized right now.

Residential nodes are a very important part of our ecosystem, these are the highest quality of nodes which are required by users to bypass filters which can block all other cloud nodes.

The goal is to see multiple residential node related dVPN apps come out that can charge a premium for offering users access to these nodes. In addition to begin providing b2b service offering, preferably targeting data scraping organizations which are using this data to train AI models. Any insight, research and connections on the B2B aspect would be very helpful.

2) Hardware - Hardware in the form of a cheap effective and fully open solution like Raspberry Pi is a subset of the residential node topic however deserves its own section as it is the most practical way of hosting a residential node and is the only way that we can get the residential node pool to scale as people cannot leave their home PC on 24/7 effectively.

We need to get as many people as possible to host a residential node using a Raspberry Pi and they will receive a consistent income of $10 per month and achieve breakeven and profit within the first year 100%. Community led initiatives and ideas in this aspect would be very fruitful.

3) DePin Thought Leadership - DePin is one of the hottest sectors now as the blockchain ecosystem comes full circle and realizes the reason for why it was established in the first place. The core ethos of the blockchain ecosystem is distributed resource networks, and Sentinel has believed in and stuck to this ethos now for 7 years regardless of the hype or lack there of for the DePin ecosystem. Now as destiny has it, as Sentinel is maturing and ready to become a unicorn - the DePin ecosystem has become very strong now.

Sentinel has to get strong thought leadership in the DePin ecosystem, apart from AKT there are very few networks providing real utility with real users. Sentinel has the highest amount of DAU and MAU at this point of time. Helium leads in the amount of infra with 1M hotspots, Sentinel could scale there but the market cap would have to be much higher in order to afford the incentives as Helium has paid out well over $100M of incentives to achieve such a capacity of infra.

There is no DePin network today that is being used by people around the world to the extent that Sentinel is. This is the only distributed resource ecosystem where you can find russians, Chinese, Iranians and every other ethnicity being service providers as well as users.

Sentinel will 100% reach total 1M users this year and cross 100K DAU. Sentinel will be in the top 5 DePin metrics count very consistently. It is our duty to make sure this is highlighted amidst all of the tens of millions of dollars being spent on marketing by other DePin projects with impractical usecases. It is time for war for mind share.

Messari has to acknowledge Sentinel, and so do all of the other DePin research orgs. Sentinel will prepare to pay for research reports and intends to make DePin thought leadership an absolute priority.

All community assistance and engagement in this aspect is highly appreciated and can be incentivized as well.

APK Download: https://t.me/VPNproducttesting/1312/1849

Testers are encouraged to provide feedback and bug reports in that very same group.

The iOS version of the app was submitted to Apple's Testflight program on the 9th, and is still pending approval.

A game-changer is soon coming for the entire Sentinel #dVPN ecosystem. Until now, everyone building a dVPN app on Sentinel needed to know how to work with Cosmos accounts.

Now with a new API to create and manage your own dVPN app, dVPN builders will find it a lot easier.

Community contributor TKD-Alex has been working on a Javascript SDK as well allowing for devs to build on Sentinel in JS.

https://github.com/sentinel-official/sentinel-js-sdk

Meanwhile the official Sentinel SDK is also in development.

The number of tools coming out for dVPN builders are growing.

Huawei AppGallery Android App store has rejected Solar dVPN because Solar shows Taiwan as a country. Should Solar remove dVPN nodes hosted in Taiwan by the dVPN community from list of accessible nodes to be able to build a larger Chinese userbase?

Airdrop dVPN Is the first dVPN on Sentinel to feature residential nodes. Connect to over one of 200 residential dVPN nodes and access geo-restricted airdrops.

The Sentinel ecosystem will be the go-to solution for all Web 3 users to claim airdrops.

You can test Airdrop dVPN on Android at the official Sentinel Testing telegram channel:

https://t.me/VPNproducttesting

Only download APK files from the official testing channel.

The Sentinel ecosystem is looking to partner with airdrop aggregators and communities.
