🔍 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.

Marketing for the flagship Sentinel #dVPN and the Dogwifhat $DVPN will begin after both of these applications are added onto the Google and Apple app stores.

Currently the APK files are available and all code is open-sourced however the community prefers app stores for security

Download the flagship Sentinel dVPN (paid by $DVPN token) at http://shield.sentinel.co

Download Dogwifhat dVPN APK at http://dogwifhatdvpn.com

Demand open-source transparency from VPN applications. Do NOT trust a VPN that does not show its code.

The revolution is coming.

A new token utility for $DVPN is soon arriving with the release of the Sentinel AI data layer. You can soon pay $DVPN in exchange for scraping data from the internet.

This is a preview of the website (mobile) where data requests can be sent to Sentinel nodes.

Testing soon.

Sentinel has the highest verified user count amongst networking #DePin applications and this number scales up with every new dVPN dApp deployed on Sentinel.

Want to build a $dVPN application on Sentinel without knowing Go or anything about Cosmos?

Checkout the new Norse Labs dVPN SDK! iOS/Mac/Ipad SDK now live!

https://github.com/norselabs/dvpn-sdk-ios

What is this SDK?

This SDK is a versatile, cross-platform pre-compiled library that integrates seamlessly into mobile or desktop applications. It empowers developers to:

- utilize available methods to Obtain information about available VPN locations (countries & cities)

- Retrieve a list of available DVPN nodes for each VPN location

- Create and manage DVPN credentials for WireGuard and V2Ray connections

https://support.norselabs.io/hc/en-us/articles/14652264023196-What-is-DVPN-SDK

There are multiple other SDKs in development including a Javascript SDK being developed by TKDAlex.

The new Sentinel website will have an in-depth section on the various ways that people can easily build a dVPN application on Sentinel.

Real staking is the staking of tokens to distribute voting power amongst validators that secure the network.

L2 Staking for points is not real staking and should be termed differently.

The hype behind ETH L2 networks will fade into obscurity as we move further into the cycle. There is no real 'ETH security' taking place. There is just a posting of proofs onto the ETH mainnet which is a post mortem. The posting of these proofs has nothing to do with the transaction confirmation and these proofs are only useful to analyze transaction history in the event of a fraud.

Eigen Layer provides a better solution and enforces real 'ETH security'.

It is possible that we will see L2s transition to their own Cosmos chains in the coming quarters as the L2 hype fades.

Everyone is going to come back to Cosmos, the same way Cosmos ecosystem was ruling before UST collapse.

Most of the hyped projects in recent times are Cosmos based, Celestia, Monad, Initia just to name a few.

This is the calm before the storm. HODL strong frens

PHASE 1.1 OF AI Data Layer 1 Testing:

What is the Sentinel AI Data Layer?

The Sentinel AI data layer is a protocol built on Sentinel's DePin L1 Chain that allows for individuals/organizations to retrieve data from the internet. In essence it is a distributed data scraping proxy service that is not too far in conceptualization from the Sentinel dVPN service.

Anyone will be able to become a data miner by installing the data miner node software on their Android device (iOS soon), and receive data scraping tasks and get paid for fulfilling these tasks.

Why is the AI Data layer important?

LLMs/AI Chatbots such as Chat GPT are supposed to accurately answer whatever we ask them to do. However, these chatbots can only achieve this if they are constantly updating themselves with data from the internet on a daily basis as the internet is ever evolving in real-time.

The scraping of data is essentially downloading data from a webpage, this scraping cannot be done effectively by cloud nodes as they get blocked easily and Sentinel's solution of using mobile phones is the most optimal solution due to the integrity with which mobile IPs are seen with by bot detection systems.

This tweet from the founder of NEAR protocol does a good job of showing where Sentinel's AI data layer fits in the 'user-owned AI stack'

https://x.com/ilblackdragon/status/1802996246841327932

How is dVPN different from the data layer?

Both of these protocols are very similar.

In the Sentinel dVPN service the user establishes a real-time connection to the service provider or the exit node and requests data through an encrypted tunnel from websites/servers of the user's desire. Payment for dVPN/VPN services is most popularly in the form of $/unit of time.

In the Sentinel AI Data layer, there is the same function of a user fetching requested data from a website, however this data may or may not be downloaded by the user in real-time and instead may be saved in a data cache (e.g decentralized storage protocol like Jackal or IPFS). This means that the end-user does not have to establish an end to end tunnel in this case and potentially also be offline while data is stored in a cache (or regular storage solution based on client requiremnts) Payment for the AI Data layer will be likely in terms of bandwidth consumed as well as a factor of unique IPs utilized.

What is in Phase 1.1 of the Data Layer Testing?

The Phase 1.1 is an EXTREMELY rudimentary phase where the functional data mining application can be installed by users. There is NO reporting of the amount of bandwidth processed or the # of jobs completed so the user who is running the data miner has no idea on what the app is doing (unless 3rd party monitoring is used). The next update to come out soon will include a record of the bandwidth processed.

The PURPOSE of this Phase 1.1 is for the builders to test the completion of tasks and start sending data scraping jobs to the data mining nodes.

How can I join the Phase 1.1 program?

Community members can join this group and install the Android data miner on their device and keep it connected.

This phase is only recommended for experienced testers and not for newer community members.

With more concrete applications and UX, more testers will be onboarded

Shane Stargaze -

Crypto is an anti-authoritarian technology. The best type of founders that are suited for it aren't your Ivy League / Big Tech alumni. You want the hackers that brought down websites when they were teenagers. The ones that have a track record contributing to open source, etc.

The founder of the best NFT marketplace out there said it right.

Crypto is an anti-authoritarian technology and Sentinel has some serious revolutionaries.

Meet one of them who is public,
