SENTINEL - SENT - ERC20 Based DVPN and Anon Mixer - Integrating with Tendermint

[argakiig]

The Internet is an amazing place, but each time you search for something or access anything online, you lose a piece of your privacy. Every site, application, and online service provider is collecting your personal data. A few years ago, the world thought it had found an answer to this problem. Futuristic companies developed virtual private networks, or VPNs, that supposedly provided top-notch cybersecurity. Unfortunately, security is not ironclad with the centralized VPN services we’ve come to rely on. However, the vulnerabilities of a centralized VPN are solved through the implementation of a decentralized approach

The monetization of the Sentinel Network is here!

Over the past 24 hours, Sentinel #dVPN nodes have been launched on the sentinelhub-2 with users paying for bandwidth and node hosts being rewarded in $dVPN.

First user paid session on Sentinel:

Sentinel's @cosmos based sovereign blockchain is now processing IBC transfers as well as 'status updates' from @WireGuardVPN based $dVPN nodes hosted on Sentinel.

Nodes hosted on Sentinel communicate with its blockchain periodically to indicate their status and other properties.




Simply put, $dVPN applications built on Sentinel will only go down if Sentinel's chain goes down.

The user's application will query the blockchain in order to populate the list of available nodes and various other data about the node.

With the transition of the Sentinel 'Decentralized VPN' network from ETH to @cosmos, a series of incentive programs will soon commence targeting:

- Node hosts
- dVPN application users
- White-label operators
- $DVPN token stakers
- Ecosystem Developers

Can someone clarify the transition from Ethereum to Cosmos for me?  I didn't find the info in the latest white paper to be entirely clear.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sentinel-official/docs/master/whitepaper/whitepaper.pdf

Cosmos is all about creating interoperability between different block-chains based on different technologies.  Is Sentinel actually being:

• recoded from ERC20 to Cosmos based-code?
• being adapted to interact with the Cosmos hub and will remain ERC20?
• something else?

Thanks.
