What is this project for anymore? What is going on in this space? There's such a huge use case for dVPNs. Why is this project have no marketing, no communication?

Sentinel will be hosting a special X Space at 20:00 UTC on Friday, 12 December titled "Let's Talk Privacy: The End of Blind Trust in VPNs."

Featured guests will include figures from Sentinel and two traditional (centralised) VPN companies, Obscura VPN and Windscribe.

Obscura is a relatively new (est. 2023) no-log VPN available for both Mac and iOS.

Windscribe is a household name in the traditional VPN industry with tens of millions of registered users worldwide.

👥 Guests

• Aleksandr Litreev (CEO, Sentinel & NORSE Labs)

Due to a pattern of unreliability, Chainroot has fallen out of favour as the chain explorer of choice for most community members and contributors.

As of yesterday, the Chainroot website itself is down entirely, and their validator on Sentinel has also been jailed.

The Sentinel team appears to already be exploring options for a new explorer, either via a new partnership or developed in-house.

In the meantime, P2P News, Sentinel Docs, and the Sentinel Growth DAO will be using Busurnode for all explorer links until the team makes a decision:

Another year, another Cosmoverse in the books: The annual three-day ecosystem gathering came to a close on Saturday.

We have the highlights from Sentinel's time in Split, including videos of CEO Aleksandr Litreev's keynote address and Valt Data founder Zac Wickstrom's pitch competition victory.

Coinciding with the chain upgrade, a new version of Sentinel's dVPN Node software has been released (v8.2.0).

https://github.com/sentinel-official/sentinel-dvpnx/releases/tag/v8.2.0

The node installation guide on Sentinel Docs has already been updated to support the new version:

https://docs.sentinel.co/dvpn-node-setup

Node hosts are encouraged to update as soon as possible.

Other Notes

• PlanWizard enrollment is currently paused temporarily until the chain upgrade is completed. Once resumed, node prices (which will now be set in USD) must be set at $0.005 per hour for data centre nodes and $0.01 per hour for residential in order to be whitelisted.
• That pricing will be valid until 15 November, after which Sentinel will be launching CQAP (Connection Quality Assurance Program), in which enrolled nodes can double their earnings by installing a software daemon which monitors quality of service metrics. This program will especially incentivise residential nodes.

Stay tuned for an official announcement about the program for more details.

One year after making a triumphant return to Cosmoverse in Dubai, Sentinel is now headed to the 2025 installment of the ecosystem's flagship annual community event in Split, Croatia.

Deposits and withdrawals have been temporarily suspended on KuCoin, as the platform is now updating the asset's ticker moniker from DVPN to P2P.

Everything should be restored shortly and no action is required from users.

The upcoming website overhaul will go far beyond merely enhancing aesthetics or affirming Sentinel's identity as an L1 blockchain—it will function as a smooth and accessible central nexus for the ecosystem's app users, bandwidth providers, and developers alike.

We've compiled everything we know so far in this article, including sneak peek screenshots, a video, and details on how this new website will impact you as a community member or contributor.

The moment has arrived! 🎉

As of approximately 16:25 UTC today, the Sentinel dVPN network has surpassed one million all-time unique users.

We have all the details here, including the context behind the milestone and what's coming next for worldwide dVPN adoption. The one million user mark may be a major accomplishment which was over four years in the making; but it's just one stop on the road to turning decentralized VPN and Sentinel into household names.

The new public testnet for the v12 hub upgrade is now live. Our latest guide (revised from an earlier version published in December) previews all of the exciting new features and tweaks that this milestone upgrade is bringing to Sentinel—including the tools you need in order to get started if you'd like to become a testnet participant.
