🔍 LAUNCH OF SENTINEL'S NATIVE EXPLORER

The Sentinel Growth DAO has formally launched its new native Sentinel dVPN blockchain explorer.

https://explorer.sentinel.co

Development of the new explorer, a collaboration between Sentinel and Interbloc, was originally announced in January.

Sentinel and its community had used Cosmostation's blockchain explorer, Mintscan, almost exclusively since the project transitioned to the Cosmos Ecosystem in 2021.

From the DAO's official announcement:

"Now anyone can dive deep into the Sentinel Network and explore every facet of it with ease.

What can you do with the new explorer?

🔬 Inspect blocks to learn more about dVPN's transparent, trustless architecture.
💸 Dive into transactions to track the movement and flow of DVPN Coins.
🗳 Review governance proposals to stay updated on crucial network decisionmaking.
🛡 Check out the validators set to see who's securing the network.

We've also integrated data from the Sentinel Stats dashboard into the dVPN Stats Menu Item for your convenience. Now, you can seamlessly access network statistics right from the explorer dashboard.

And that's not all! With the its integration of the Node Dashboard, accessing statistics for your Sentinel Node is easier than ever. Just paste your sentnode address into the search bar, and voila; you'll have all the information you need at your fingertips.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the Sentinel Network today and unlock a world of possibilities. Happy exploring!"

In addition, a senior DAO member has informed us that the explorer's wallet function is now working.
