Amidst all of the FUD on Cosmos, it is very important for everyone to recognize the negative reflexivity that the Luna/UST collapse has caused on the ecosystem which remains till date. This negative effect has not only deleted a lot of money from existence, but it has also several decreased the rate of projects which have associated themselves with the Cosmos ideology and the IBC - in addition to adding fuel to the fire in internal ecosystem disputes.
On the bright side - also recognize that this negative reflexivity will soon end and an effect of positive reflexivity is about to begin as the ecosystem is poised to win its uphill battle.
The Cosmos ecosystem was at the epicenter of the largest financial disaster in the history of the crypto ecosystem in the year of 2022. The Luna/UST collapse which wiped out much more than just the DEX liquidity of every single coin in the Cosmos ecosystem.
There is no doubt that the Cosmos SDK tech stack is second to none. The Cosmos SDK is the only reliable stack that can be used to construct a sovereign chain. Of course there is always room and enhancement for modifications, but its clear that Cosmos can support high throughput requirements - Polygon has been doing just fine proving that premier L2 chains in the ETH ecosystem can operate on the Cosmos SDK.
Now the argument remains that; 'teams will build on Cosmos or fork it and not even care about the ecosystem'. Meanwhile new chains built on the Cosmos SDK like Initia act like they will take over and provide a replacement to what exists thinking that the Cosmos ecosystem is dead.
The entire UST/Luna debacle naturally dissuaded high performance teams from joining the Cosmos ecosystem ideologically from 2022 May onwards, while many promising teams continue to build on Cosmos SDK tech or derivatives of Tendermint BFT. If teams like Bera or Hyperliquid were launching in 2021, most likely they would associate themselves with the Cosmos ecosystem and enable IBC however after everything that has happened many teams enjoy echoing the pessimistic view of 'Cosmos is dead' and disassociate themselves from anything Cosmos ecosystem related.
However, when you have thousands of highly intelligent and passionate people and a tech stack that supports many, many highly successful sovereign chains (whether they accept it or not) in the crypto ecosystem - you can bet that the phoenix will rise from the ashes.
Now onto the positives; the Cosmos ecosystem will expand 10 fold from here because - REAL recognizes REAL. REGARDLESS of all the FUD, several highly successful projects that build on Cosmos WILL come and embrace it and put the ecosystem back on the map. More and more projects will join hands in a beautiful effect of positive reflexivity which has been unlocked by all of us due to perseverance and determination despite all odds. Within a years time, few will remember the current sentiment and we will be outnumbered by hundreds of thousands of new community members who only know of the success of the Cosmos ecosystem which will begin from here.
This statement can be justified by Babylon's acknowledgement of the Cosmos ecosystem and its proposed integrations with the ecosystem. Babylon is one of the most promising Bitcoin L2 networks out there and is considered a Tier 1 project, however instead of choosing an arrogant approach like other Tier 1 projects which have built on/forked Cosmos, Babylon choose to integrate and embrace the ecosystem.
Babylon's embrace of Cosmos shows that regardless of all of the negative events and the hardships that the Cosmos ecosystem has gone through, there is still respect, there is still promise, and there is still belief.
The ecosystem has still has not recovered from the UST collapse and this is quite evident in aggregate ecosystem DEX volumes from before and after the UST collapse. To be continued...

Osmosis is the best DEX in the Web 3 ecosystem and is highly regarded as having some of the most innovative tech, spoken about by reputed builders such as the founder of Eigen Layer. However, Osmosis has still been setback by the collapse of UST which the Osmo ecosystem is still recovering from. Until Osmo recovers, there is a suppression in the financial growth of the entire Cosmos ecosystem as a whole.
The internal disputes in the Cosmos ecosystem were amplified by the liquidity destruction created by the Luna/UST collapse with investors, validators and community members all experiencing tremendous losses - many of whom have not fully recovered till date.
Now to replace the hole that UST has created, USDC arrives in the Cosmos ecosystem and is backed by Noble which has led the wave of IBC integrated stablecoin innovation which will slowly but surely replace the hole that UST created.
It is an uphill battle no doubt, new founders who build and try to associate with this ecosystem will be dissuaded by many people to forget about Cosmos - or to just use the tech and not acknowledge that the ecosystem exists.
All respect to the builders who continue with strength. The crypto ecosystem may call us delusional to think that the Cosmos ecosystem can be revived. Embrace the power that the universe gives to underdogs with the right intention, and disprove the masses.

Sentinel's new AI data layer website which allows for data required to train an LLM to be easily retrieved from Sentinel 'AI Data Miner' nodes through a simple webpage, will be integrated with Chat GPT to allow for users to easily find recommendations on relevant links to scrape for their specific topic.
For example, if a user wants to train their LLM on 'the world's tallest buildings', the Chat GPT integration will be used to fetch 50 of the most relevant links (example) and data from each of these links will be downloaded in the data format of the user's choice.
Sentinel's goal is to use AskVenice in the future instead of Chat GPT once more advanced developer functions are available on http://venice.ai.

The dVPN narrative is getting stronger, the most hyped ETH l2 at this point of time has shown intention for onboarding a dVPN network.
It is important to note that a truly decentralized VPN network requires its own app-chain that is capable of handling the high throughput required for on-chain peer discovery (similar to an on-chain DHT). The Sentinel blockchain has processed around 9.7M transactions in the last 30 days - most of the transactions are attributed to dVPN logic related transactions.
Sentinel is a TRULY decentralized dVPN network, connection initiation and disconnection is on-chain, node registration is on-chain, node periodic up-time identification is on-chain.
On Sentinel, nodes message the blockchain consistently to indicate their presence and up-time, and dVPN applications built on Sentinel scan the blockchain in order to populate the list of available nodes.

A fundamentally decentralized dVPN network built on MegaETH cannot afford the transaction cost required for on-chain peer discovery and would have to depend on centralized masternodes that would help users identify active nodes without creating scalability/economic issues.
Instead of MegaETH sacrificing the ethos of decentralization for the sake of a native implementation, Sentinel can instead build a white-labelled dVPN application for the MegaETH ecosystem.

Messages on Telegram aren't end to end encrypted unless 'secret chats' are used, with this functionality also having many skeptics.
At least Telegram has a fully open source library that allows for users to compile the application on their own:
https://github.com/tdlib/td
99.9% of the VPN industry does not even attempt to provide any assurances.
The current focus on the provability of true end to end encryption is for now restricted primarily to messaging applications, however in the future at some point it will transition to VPN applications as well.
VPNs are some of the most used consumer applications on the global scale and there is a overwhelming lack of care or awareness on the risks of a compromised VPN application. VPN applications are capable of a greater privacy invasion than can imagined, one of the best examples is that of the founder of Celestia, reference - https://theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/09/lulzsec-hacker-exposed-service-he-thought-would-hide-him/337545/.
The Sentinel ecosystem including all of the different teams working towards building dVPN applications have the duty of ensuring that people all over the world have the ability to access the internet and share information in a manner which is not monitored or restricted.
Use dVPN applications built on Sentinel! Only trust open-source provability.

There are multiple SDKs written in different languages available for developers to build dVPN applications on-top of Sentinel, allowing for the Sentinel ecosystem to scale exponentially even (hypothetically) without the involvement of the core contributors.
These SDKs are best suited for experienced developers who are ready to actively manage the back-end to ensure best UX and can be found at : https://docs.sentinel.co/sdk.
The 'DVPN SDK' from Norse is suited for developers who do not want to be as intensively involved in back-end operations.
This SDK can be found at:
https://github.com/norselabs
"What is the DVPN SDK?
DVPN 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
Why is it superior to a REST API or gRPC?
The primary issue with a conventional REST API approach is that the API endpoint can become a vulnerability in the application infrastructure, potentially being blocked by Internet Service Providers. In contrast, our DVPN SDK employs the following techniques to bypass any possible restrictions and ensure reliable access to the DVPN infrastructure:
Mirroring: Upon initialization, the DVPN SDK evaluates the user's network conditions and searches for any available endpoints. It systematically switches between mirrors to find a working endpoint for the specific device.
TON Blockchain: If no endpoints are found in the previous step, the DVPN SDK automatically connects to the TON Blockchain, using it as a bridge to access our DVPN infrastructure and the underlying Sentinel Blockchain. TON's decentralized nature and unique networking protocols (such as ADNL) make this approach highly reliable, allowing our SDK to securely retrieve data necessary for establishing a VPN connection.
Proxy-over-Push: In the unlikely event that the previous methods fail, our DVPN SDK can establish secure communication with the DVPN infrastructure using platform-specific Push Notification Services (e.g., APNS for Apple's operating systems or FCM for Android). Since these services are widely used by various applications, it is highly improbable that ISPs or any third-party actors will block them, as doing so would affect the entire operating system.
1983 Route: If all other methods are unsuccessful and the DVPN infrastructure remains inaccessible, our SDK employs a unique connection mechanism based on foundational Internet technology. This method ensures that the DVPN infrastructure is accessible as long as there is any Internet connection available. Although this communication method is extremely reliable, functioning in 99.999% of cases, it relies on obsolete technology not originally intended for such use. Consequently, it may be slower than other methods and is used as a last resort. And yes, patent pending!

Thanks to Messari and their research team for covering Sentinel's Q2 progress in 2024.
The Sentinel ecosystem looks forward to ongoing quarterly reports of the ecosystem's progress, especially with the launch of new dVPN applications as well as the introduction of the AI data layer network going live in early September. The key focus going forward on the network analytics side will be make application revenue clear.
Sentinel is a leader in the #dVPN segment due to its scalable and secure architecture which allows for anyone to build and deploy a dVPN application on-top of its Layer-1 #DePin blockchain while utilizing nodes hosted by community members on the same chain.
SDKs for building a dVPN on Sentinel: https://docs.sentinel.co/sdk
Nearly 500k people have used a dVPN built on Sentinel, explore dVPN apps built on Sentinel at: https://sentinel.co/dapps
Sentinel features the first decentralized on-chain DHT implementation where dVPN applications are able to query and present active nodes from on-chain subscription contracts directly by querying the chain where nodes indicate their availability, eliminating the requirement for a centralized DHT structure.
The Messari research team has used Sentinel's transparent stats APIs to query network statistics. Sentinel's next focus in the analytics aspect is the clear consolidation of application revenue statistics.
The 'Application Revenue' statistic will include:
1) On-chain Revenue - IBC payments/bridges etc
2) Fiat/off-chain Revenue - Apple Pay, CC, Wechat Pay
3) In-App Ad Revenue - Google AdMob, Yandex etc..
Currently the 'Network Revenue' chart listed on http://stats.sentinel.co points to the dVPN earned by node hosts, this metric will be changed to '$DVPN Earned by Node Hosts'.
A new 'Total Network Revenue' statistic will be introduced that includes both the revenue generated by dVPN applications as well as the revenue generated by dVPN nodes.

Sentinel blu frens would have never imagined that the #1 obstacle for the ecosystem would be the approval process of various app stores. Developing a working product isn't enough, it has to get approved through by the centralized mafia in order for the app to get real distribution.

- Dogwifhat dVPN approval delayed (iOS)
- dVPNBot approval delayed (windows)
Thanks to the community for all of the patience while everything that can be done to fast track these approval processes is done.
