Soon Sentinel will allow for individuals to provide their bandwidth to AI Data layer usecases as well in addition to the current privacy usecases.

Sentinel is a p2p bandwidth marketplace focused on privacy and data.

The distribution of the AI Data miner will be done through existing and future dVPN applications, dVPN nodes, the Scout AI data miner client as well as integration with other 3rd party applications.

Users can test out the Sentinel scout beta at http://Scout.sentinel.co. The Android data miner can be downloaded from this website and tasks can be sent to the data miner from the panel.

Incentivized mining along with referral system and more distribution mechanisms is planned to begin soon.

Sentinel Scout will be the first user-facing AI data layer in the Web 3 ecosystem.

Why is the Sentinel Scout AI data layer a big deal? Because it will be the first user-facing decentralized AI data layer product which will allow for developers working in the AI sector to retrieve the data they need to teach their model about a specific topic.

In the current landscape, other networks allow for users to host nodes but none of them allow for users to directly access the nodes and provide the nodes with instructions. These networks may focus on larger scale b2b usecases and may opt to not create a platform accessible by anyone whether they are a solo dev or a small enterprise.

The Sentinel ecosystem excels in delivering working/user friendly products and will capture the attention of participants in the AI with a straightforward, clean, working product.

Apart from just the act of data retrieval through Sentinel AI Data Miners, the Sentinel Scout platform also allows users to:

1) Get intelligent recommendations on the relevant links for the desired topic from Akash Chat LLM
2) Store data on JKL decentralized storage
3) Use AKT decentralized compute for data cleaning and embedding

It is an end to end platform that allows for a user to:
- Easily input relevant links
- Customize the data format and other settings
- Manage storage for the data
- Clean the data and make it LLM Ready

all in one platform!

Sentinel is a p2p bandwidth marketplace servicing privacy and AI data usecases.

You can download an AI data miner on your Android device, power it up - and then send your own data miner scraping tasks directly from the website.

The Cosmos ecosystem is poised for a spectacular recovery and is experiencing a strong resurgence of sentiment. It has been a long journey since the $UST collapse which was one of the biggest capital deletion events in the world, and now the Cosmos ecosystem is now ready to begin its journey to become a top contender for liquidity and mindshare as it was pre UST collapse.

The Cosmos Hub will be the first scalable shared security infrastructure in the Web 3 ecosystem and will be in the limelight again for its technical merits. History will repeat and the Cosmos ICS will be recognized with high esteem in the same manner that the Cosmos SDK was recognized years ago.

Everyone can notice that the amount of negative sentiment and adversarial actions in the ecosystem have reduced very significantly in the recent times as compared to the times before. The camaraderie, positivity, and cooperation will return to the full extent.

Builders must persevere and be strong regardless of any negativity from the broader crypto ecosystem. People are deterred from building on the Cosmos SDK or even embracing the Cosmos by the broader Web 3 ecosystem.

Projects like Akash and others show that no project should use the FUD on Cosmos as ecosystem as an excuse for poor performance. Cosmos ecosystem projects have the ability to capture market share in their respective verticals from the broader web 3 ecosystem and excel in product UX to a level where it doesn't matter to the end-user if the product is built on Cosmos or not.

It does not take much time for sentiment to flip when the stars align, and when the sentiment does flip it will flip so strongly that the naysayers of the past will completely forget their stance and not acknowledge what they believed before.

Most likely everyone will agree on the sentiment flipping within the next 100 days, the reversal is almost here.

Keep building Cosmos ecosystem, the time is coming very soon.

Big November for the blu frogs, time to burn that midnight oil.

- Launch of Cosmo dVPN application with $ATOM payments and in-app on-ramps through Apple and Google Pay
- Launch of the first-ever user facing AI Data Layer console
- Launch of the Sentinel AI Data miner program

The most popular AI Agent in the Fetch AI ecosystem is the 'Website Scraper Agent', showing the demand and need for easily retrieving desired content from identified webpages.

https://agentverse.ai/marketplace?item_type=agents&types=hosted%2Clocal%2Cmailbox&dev_categories=fetch-ai%2Ccommunity&sort=relevancy

The Sentinel AI Data Layer is about to introduce a seamless platform that will provide much more functionality and optimization for the end-user as compared to an AI agent.

The first user-facing AI Data Layer console in the Web 3 ecosystem that will allow for users to:
- Discover links relevant to their topic
- Extract data in the required format

Download an AI Data Miner on your Android and send tasks to your own device to see how it works!

The final feedback from the App stores regarding Cosmos #dVPN has arrived, detailing required changes before approval. Now we are really close.

The words 'Cosmos', 'IBC', 'ATOM Payments', 'Fiat On-Ramp', in addition to other keywords must be omitted from the applications. There must be no terminology related to payments happening via the blockchain.

It has been quite the journey to get this application approved and past the finish-line. We are almost there, one of the the first consumer utilities in the Cosmos ecosystem which accepts $ATOM is arriving shortly.

The Sentinel Scout AI Data Layer platform is almost done integrating the We3 Auth login system to allow for users to create Sentinel accounts with an email ID, Google account, or other popular forms of Web 2 login.

In the same way that Independent dVPN has gained 100s of thousands of Web 2 users, Sentinel Scout also aims to onboard a large number of Web 2 users.

In order to cater to the Web 2 audience it is important to abstract away the complexities of using a decentralized application, in this case the complexities of creating and maintaining a public/private key pair.

The first decentralized AI Data Layer that you can interact with is coming soon!

Here is a preview of the Web 3 Auth integration with the Sentinel Scout AI Data Layer Platform, allowing for users to easily create a Sentinel wallet using their Gmail account.

Crypto-native users have the option of logging in with their Keplr wallet while Web 2 users and non-cosmos users will have the ability for easy account creation and on-ramping for payments.

The first interactable Web 3 decentralized Data Layer going live soon.

The DVPN bot by @norselabs is new on the Telegram Apps Center!

A whole new paradigm of Sentinel's p2p vision is about to begin, privacy + data resources all on one chain.

Using your Android Phone as a data miner to power Sentinel Scout?

A new paradigm of Sentinel's p2p bandwidth market is about to begin, expanding Sentinel beyond privacy dVPN and into AI data retrieval and processing.

Sentinel is the one-stop p2p bandwidth marketplace on Cosmos

A preview of the first user facing AI Data Layer product in the Web 3 ecosystem, the Sentinel Scout.

For the first time, users can get access to a decentralized network of data miners who can carry out data retrieval tasks.

The decentralized AI Data Layer revolution is only beginning and there are very few players with Grass leading the forefront.
Grass is focused on B2B operations and does not allow the normal dev to access the data layer and process scraping requests.

The Sentinel Scout platform will be the first platform to enable AI developers to gain access to decentralized data resources, in the same way that Akash was the first platform to enable AI developers to get access to decentralized compute resources.

The Sentinel Scout platform is the first user facing platform allowing for:
- Intelligent URL identification ( Akash Chat integration)
- Data retrieval from decentralized data miners
- Creation of proofs attesting the integrity of the data
- Access to decentralized storage for data through Jackal
- Data cleaning and embedding using Akash compute

all in one platform!

One of the final steps in the release of the platform is the storage integration with Jackal Protocol, allowing for users to automatically store data using their Jackal account.

The Sentinel AI Data Miner SDK is in development, allowing for other applications such as #dVPNs built on Sentinel or even browsers to integrate the AI data miner into their app and allow their users to monetize on bandwidth.

Incorporate a data miner into your app soon!

Did you know there are 3 dVPN SDKs supporting GO, JS and Python - allowing for users to build their own dVPN application on Sentinel, or even include dVPN in their existing application.

https://docs.sentinel.co/sdk

https://breadcrumbsdata.com has integrated dVPN into their app!

The AI Data Miner incentive program is soon going live on Android, allowing for users to earn gold for providing bandwidth to the Sentinel Scout AI Data Layer platform.

Power the first user-facing decentralized AI Data Layer platform to mine gold which converts to $DVPN

One of the most popular agents in the Fetch AI ecosystem marketplace is the Website Scraper Agent which requires users to interact with code and is not user-friendly at all.

The Sentinel #DeAI Scout AI Data Layer is about to deliver more utility to users than existing multi-billion dollar Web 3 AI ecosystems.

These half-baked solutions are going to be replaced by legitimate platforms like Sentinel Scout that offer users a one-stop-shop for their data retrieval and processing needs.

https://agentverse.ai/agents/details/agent1qwnjmzwwdq9rjs30y3qw988htrvte6lk2xaak9xg4kz0fsdz0t9ws4mwsgs/profile

The Sentinel #dVPN #DePin ecosystem is focused on real utility, builds real products that work - and is used by hundreds of thousands of people globally already. Its time for Sentinel to bring its pragmatism into the #DeAI sector.

Sentinel Scout AI Data layer provides a great user experience with no code interaction required.

Sentinel is undergoing a revision of content including a new website and whitepaper given the expansion of its bandwidth marketplace to include AI Data Layer services alongside the existing #dVPN ecosystem.

The basic wireframe structure of the first page of Sentinel's new website will clearly define Sentinel as a decentralized P2P bandwidth marketplace and infrastructure for data and privacy usecases.

The first section after the header allows for a website visitor to quickly grasp how a consumer would use services from the Sentinel ecosystem.

1) Sentinel Scout AI Data Layer - Visitors will be able to input a data retrieval request to Sentinel's AI Data Miners and they will be directed to the Sentinel Scout website where they will get free credits and have the ability to extensively test out the platform.

2) Sentinel dVPN Ecosystem - Visitors will be able to find a dVPN application that is compatible for their device and download the application.

This section is defined as the 'user focused' section of the website, the next key sections will include the 'bandwidth provider' section and 'builder section' (focusing on building on-top of the Sentinel AI Data Layer and Sentinel dVPN SDKs).

The Sentinel ecosystem focuses on building real product that work and are user-friendly and accessible even by the mainstream audience.

The new website and documentation will be a big step into Sentinel's positioning as a P2P Bandwidth Marketplace and infrastructure for data and privacy usecases.

The integration of Akash Chat with Sentinel Scout is focused on assisting Scout users in identifying relevant links to scrape.

The integration of Akash compute with Sentinel Scout will be focused on a 'Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to make the collected data and embeddings easily accessible to clients, including large companies. The goal of this system is to allow clients to query the structured data efficiently, retrieve relevant embeddings, and use it for various AI applications.

RAG architectures are particularly useful for question-answering, information retrieval, and real-time inference tasks by combining retrieval of relevant data with generation capabilities provided by large language models (LLMs).

1. Vector Search for Data and Embeddings

2. Retriever-Generator Architecture

3. Integration of Metadata and Provenance

The number of AI contributors to the Sentinel ecosystem are rapidly expanding and documentation along with a detailed roadmap will soon be shared.

Over 600k unique users have connected to a dVPN application built on Sentinel's chain at least once as of today!

Thanks to dVPN application developers, dVPN node hosts, and community members for making the revolution possible.

Note on Cosmic Network forking Sentinel's #dVPN protocol and not giving public credit or acknowledgement to the Sentinel ecosystem.

The goal of this post is to not demean Cosmic Network, but instead to highlight the potential of adoption of Sentinel's open-source technology as well as to emphasize the importance of giving credit and public recognition for forking an open-source protocol that is under a free license.

Cosmic Network's dVPN architecture is forked from Sentinel's official GitHub repository and this network has been marketing it as their own development.

The Sentinel dVPN protocol has been worked on for years and is an advanced architecture that works at the consensus level. The design and implementation of this protocol has been done by contributors who have won some of the most prestigious Cosmos 'hackathon' style competitions against some of the smartest teams and validator orgs in the space.

Some insight into the protocol: https://medium.com/sentinel/introduction-of-on-chain-subscriptions-and-time-based-payments-sentinels-biggest-dvpn-protocol-a2b240199f18

Sentinel's main cross-platform dVPN application front-end and back-end architecture is very secure and efficient, with thousands of man hours going into development and refinement from multiple contributors.

Significant parts of the front-end and back-end could be made closed source without anyone even complaining as most dApps in the Web 3 ecosystem do, however everything in Sentinel dVPN protocol and flagship applications are open-source and easily fork-able. Blu frens are not playing games, privacy has to spread like wildfire. This is not some coin, this is a revolution.

The Sentinel dVPN protocol is meant to be built on, that is why there are 3 SDKs written in different languages to build on the dVPN protocol. Everyone is invited to build their own dVPN application. Sentinel is fully open-source and shares insight into all of the back-end functionality even though it is extremely proprietary with no comparisons.

https://docs.sentinel.co/sdk

dVPN applications built on Sentinel have been used by over 600k users with over 50k active users per month. Independent dVPN built on Sentinel has alone gained over 200k users and has a 4.6 star on Google Play.

The Sentinel ecosystem aims to support dVPN entrepreneurs and provides resources and technical support to several dVPN apps run by different teams all over the world.

The Cosmic core team could have approached the Sentinel ecosystem and tried to create a mutually beneficial structure with the community and potentially align incentives for $DVPN holders through governance.

Note from dVPN core contributor Alex Litreev

Take a look at their API: https://api.cosmicnetwork.io/api/getNodeWithCountryRegion. As you can see, even the nodes in their dVPN system still have the 'Sentinel' prefix.

The only thing the team bothered to change was the $ticker.

Now, no one expects a project to reinvent the wheel, especially in the open-source community. However, here's the core issue: Cosmic's dVPN code is NOT open-source. There is no attribution or credit to the original creators—
@SentinelDVPN
.”

Note from dVPN technical contributor:

Cosmic Network has allegedly taken Sentinel’s entire codebase—originally developed three years ago—performed a simple find-and-replace of token names, and launched a nearly identical chain, apps, and supporting infrastructure without proper attribution or adherence to open-source licensing terms.

Sentinel’s technical analysis indicates that Cosmic Network’s infrastructure, hosted almost entirely on two centralized cloud providers, fails to deliver authentic decentralized functionality. Critical blockchain interactions appear to be faked, with the entire system reportedly running on a low-cost virtual private server (VPS). Despite these serious technical shortcomings, Cosmic Network has managed to secure a listing on MEXC and approvals from Apple and Google for its mobile applications, raising concerns about due diligence processes among industry stakeholders.

Additionally, Cosmic Network’s developers have purportedly neglected to remove Sentinel’s original address prefix, “sent…,” from their cloned code, resulting in nodes on the Cosmic chain also using the same prefix. The absence of a legitimate GitHub repository or meaningful source code management challenges Cosmic Network’s claims of being “open source.” Sentinel views these actions as a clear violation of open-source principles and damaging to the collaborative efforts that drive decentralized innovation.

Oliver Scholl founder of
@s1lentsolutions
who first alerted Sentinel to the code theft, states:

“Open source isn’t a free pass to take without giving credit. It’s about collaboration, respect, and honoring the hard work of creators. When projects copy entire codebases without attribution or meaningful changes, while pretending to innovate, they betray the principles of open-source.

This isn’t innovation—it’s theft. The crypto space depends on trust and accountability, and we must call out actions that undermine the values of open-source and decentralized progress.”

Alex, Founder of Norselabs (formerly SOLAR Lab), whose code was misappropriated, adds:

“We have discovered that Cosmic Network is using our source code in their project without adhering to the mandatory attribution requirements of the MIT license. At Sentinel, we hold no respect for those who disregard the ethics of open-source collaboration. This kind of behavior undermines the trust that drives the open-source community and discourages others from contributing, pushing them toward proprietary alternatives.

We believe in sharing our work to strengthen the community, but open-source is not a gateway for free outsourcing without credit—it’s built on mutual respect. Our commitment to privacy, transparency, and open-source principles remains unwavering. We will take action against any dishonest actors to ensure they either respect the core values of open-source or face the consequences. Mutual respect is not optional—it’s essential."

- Moving Forward -

The Sentinel ecosystem blu frens do not wish harm or purposeful loss to anyone. The outcome of this communication would be to:

- Highlight the potential of Sentinel's dVPN protocol if projects are able to fork it and launch their own competitor and get to 30m market cap
- Make the Cosmic Network community aware of this circumstance so they understand the dVPN landscape and what Sentinel is
- Urge the Cosmic Network to do right by the blu frens in acknowledgement, thought leadership, and incentive alignment with the community (*if applicable)

Sentinel's new website aims to make it very easy for users to understand what the Sentinel Scout AI data layer and Sentinel #dVPN ecosystem is.

Users will be able to find a dVPN application that best fits their needs within a few clicks, as well as interact with Scout easily.
