It's Sentinel's 3rd Anniversary since launching on Cosmos🎂

In that time, we've seen:
⛏️15M+ blocks
🤝75M+ txs
🏆2024: Best year ever for all user metrics!
🆙Post-2023: 200k+ dVPN users, 100k+ in '24
🎯Next target: 1M+ users in 2024

After meticulous testing from the community, the Sentinel flagship dVPN application is ready to be uploaded for release on Android and iOS in this coming week.

The Cosmos fee grant module will be used for account abstraction to cover all user connect/disconnect gas fees. In-built account abstraction is one of the many added benefits of the Cosmos-SDK.

The number of #dVPN sessions on Sentinel's Layer 1 chain hit an ATH of over 48,000 on the 2nd of April

http://stats.sentinel.co

This means a dVPN node on Sentinel was connected to and disconnected from over 48k times, and each event can be tracked to a transaction on-chain.

Here is an example of a session start and end request TX,

Sentinel is the networking #DePin project with the highest amount of on-chain usage and activity, where everything from querying available nodes to connecting to a node happens on-chain.

A new dVPN application built on Sentinel has been approved for download on iOS.

More developers are launching applications on Sentinel creating an increase in demand for bandwidth over-time.

20% of all revenue paid to nodes goes to DVPN stakers.

Breadcrumbs dVPN pre-pays nodes hosted on Sentinel's Networking #DePin Layer 1, and upsells this bandwidth by using Sentinel's on-chain subscription contracts.

Users are able to pay monthly or annually by credit card and receive a 1 click access to dVPN nodes.

dVPN applications built on Sentinel have the ability to accept any form of payment.

With a simple on-chain command executed by Sentinel's custom modules on its own hub, a user can be authorized by a dVPN application creator to be able to connect upon any payment trigger.

For example, a user can be authorized upon a credit card payment, a payment in BTC, WeChat pay, or any other form of external payment mechanism which can provide a simple API that can notify the contracts that the user has completed their payment, whatever form the payment may be in.

Elon has tweeted about VPN applications, VPNs and dVPNs are about to start trending for the years to come as nations around the world crackdown on the internet privileges of the general public.

The community can generate a strong impact by RAIDing this tweet and showing support by posting download links to dVPN applications built on Sentinel and emphasizing on the advantages of dVPNs vs cVPNs.

A restriction has been imposed on the active subscription plan in the Sentinel #dVPN ecosystem to restrict # of dVPN nodes per subnet to a total of 5 nodes per subnet.

Subnets are easier to detect and block by nation-state firewalls.

There will soon be a new subscription plan for larger sets of nodes hosted on the same subnet at a much more subsidized pricing as compared to nodes that do not share the same subset.

Automated pricing will come into effect with the next hub upgrade which is soon.

Sentinel's mission is focused on providing unrestricted access for anyone on the planet no matter which country or region they are from.

Sentinel has a strong userbase from #Iran and the rest of the Middle East and the ecosystem wishes peace for all nations.

Independent dVPN is used by 10s of thousands of users from the Middle East on a regular basis. Every user has a Cosmos based account on Sentinel's hub and every connection/disconnection request is an on-chain transaction. The back-end complexity is abstracted away into the background with the use of account abstraction and simple and user-friendly UX.

dVPN apps built on Sentinel are some of the most purest dApps by true standards of decentralization out there in the #DePin ecosystem and beyond.

Node querying is on-chain, connection/disconnection is on-chain. As long as the Sentinel blockchain is alive, dVPN apps built on Sentinel and unhindered p2p communication is alive. The revolution is soon beginning.

The Independent #dVPN Windows App is the first Sentinel application to have the 'Kill Switch' feature integrated.

Advanced features including split-tunneling coming to all dVPNs built on Sentinel.

This (pre-UI) app is now available for testing at:

https://t.me/VPNproducttesting/2473

The 'Kill Switch' feature is essential for avoiding detection by sensitive services such as crypto exchanges which constantly monitor user IP.

In the event that the dVPN is disabled for any reason, internet access will be disabled completely.

The Sentinel ecosystem will outcompete centralized VPNs and all dVPN apps built on Sentinel will reach a very high standard of UX as well as advanced features.

The Sentinel ecosystem meets all of its technological commitments and now is growing stronger with the addition of more experienced contributors from the VPN industry.

This is a network which is making a global impact and this is just the beginning.

The cooperation of GnosisDao and Hopr to build the GnosisVPN only further supports Sentinel's core thesis of building a consolidated white-label dVPN network. Sentinel has the most decentralized structure being the only dVPN with on-chain node querying.

Over 5 White-label #dVPN applications have launched on Sentinel so far with multiple more launching soon.

- More dVPN applications including Atom dVPN, Dogwifhat dVPN and BTC dVPN are planned to launch within the next 60 days.

- Sentinel's Android dVPN Node POC is set to be released for community testing in this month. These nodes will be used for the retrieval of data required to train AI models.

- Hardware Update - Easy 1-click dVPN node installer for Raspberry Pi is in progress and will soon enable easy proliferation of residential hardware nodes for the Sentinel ecosystem.

- The Sentinel Hub upgrade is planned to be fully executed in this month and will primarily feature an upgrade to a more recent release of the Cosmos SDK, reducing block time and benefiting user UX with faster connection times and in-dApp event execution.

Introducing Sentinel Shield dVPN Android release (APK)

https://medium.com/sentinel/beta-launch-of-the-most-decentralized-depin-consumer-application-the-sentinel-shield-dvpn-f896dd3e5cbc

Monthly subscription is currently set at 1333.33 dVPN.

Accounts are on on-chain, node query is on-chain, payment is on-chain, connection/disconnection authorization is on-chain. Sentinel Shield dVPN is the definition of a FULLY decentralized DePin consumer app.

The launch of the Sentinel Shield dVPN goes to show the versatility of dVPN apps that can be built on Sentinel’s dVPN protocol, from applications which are monetized by ads and are extremely user-friendly with 0 mention of blockchain such as Independent dVPN. All the way to fully decentralized on-chain applications which expose users to the management of keys and on-chain payments such as the Sentinel Shield dVPN app.

More payment gateways and advanced subscription features coming soon.
