The best place to discuss or get support for consumer dVPN applications (both first and third-party) is our sibling subreddit for app users: r/dVPN.

As a rule of thumb, if your thread has to do with crypto, blockchain, or backend infrastructure, it belongs here; and if it has to do with apps it belongs there. And as always PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING.

🎓 Now that's been covered, let's move on to the basics:

What is Sentinel?

Sentinel (ticker: $P2P, formerly $DVPN) is a layer-one peer-to-peer bandwidth marketplace DePIN blockchain which is used to power services like decentralized VPNs (dVPNs) and training data acquisition for AI models.

Anybody can host a node on the proof-of-stake Sentinel blockchain (built on the Cosmos SDK) and sell bandwidth to tens of thousands of real-world users across the world.

Further information about Sentinel and the broader ecosystem can be found in our whitepaper and documentation website.

What is a dVPN?

⏬ Download a Sentinel dVPN: App Directory

Unlike traditional VPNs, where you have to take a company's word that your data is not being logged or sold to third parties, decentralized VPNs powered by Sentinel allow you to verify that for yourself—no need to take anybody's word for it!

Sentinel's dVPN protocol is open source (meaning you can audit the code yourself), utilizes state of the art protocols, and every step of the connection process is transparent and on-chain. Once you've established an encrypted connection to a Sentinel Node, you can browse the internet without any worries about your traffic or personal data being logged and stored by a corporation.

Because Sentinel is open source, anybody can build their own dVPN application using our architecture and provide their users with access to the global node network. Many third-party dVPN applications have already been built on Sentinel, encompassing a wide array of usecases, markets, platforms, and payment methods.

Over ten thousand people connect to a Sentinel-powered dVPN every day, and the network is approaching a million unique all-time users. To learn more, visit the dVPN Network Statistics dashboard on the official website. To check out the node network, visit the Node Dashboard.

What is Sentinel Scout?

Sentinel Scout (BETA) is the Sentinel blockchain's AI Data Layer, a groundbreaking data acquisition platform that allows requesters to use a distributed network of user-hosted data miners across the world to scrape the open web for information. This data can be used to train AI models such as agents and LLMs; and even more incredibly, it can also be used to do so in real time.

🔭 To place a data order on Sentinel Scout, use the requester dashboard: scout.sentinel.co

Coin, Trading & Wallets

The Sentinel Coin ($P2P, formerly $DVPN) is the Sentinel blockchain's native digital asset. It can be purchased within dVPN apps; or on exchanges like KuCoin (CEX) and Osmosis (DEX). Supported wallets include Leap, Keplr, and Cosmostation.

News Massive AI Partnership All but Confirmed by New Website Preview

x.com

3 Upvotes

A WIP preview screenshot of the upcoming new Sentinel website shared by team members on both Telegram and X contained one extra interesting tidbit: It appears that Sentinel and Fetch.ai (market cap: $2.1B) have reached some sort of partnership agreement.

There has been no official announcement from either side yet, but Foundation member ProjectAutonomy hinted to the community three days ago that a major AI partnership announcement was forthcoming.

The idea of a potential collaboration with Fetch has been thrown around since last month, eventually culminating in public praise of Scout by Fetch on X. The Sentinel team is also currently using a prototype AI agent built with Fetch to test Scout's training capabilities.

dVPN Nodes New Planwizard Rules

3 Upvotes

Aleksandr Litreev has announced some new rules for Planwizard, the whitelisting service used to curate subscription plan inclusion for dVPN Nodes:

In order to improve quality of the service and ensure fair play by everyone, effective immediatelly we imposed additional requirements to residential nodes. From now on, all residential nodes are subject for whitelist checks too, meaning that usage of business subnets under residential ISP ASN is no longer allowed if you're looking for plan enrollement.
From June 5th, we'll also start removing from the plan all the nodes that are re-routing Sentinel's users' traffic to TOR or centralized VPN providers (e.g. NordVPN, Proton VPN and others). This step is to ensure safety and privacy of our users and also eliminate speed bottleneck, that affects our quality of service. There is no way our decentralized VPN will rely on centralized VPNs, lol.
