There is only 1 project that has been increasing its on-chain active wallet count for the past several years in the Cosmos ecosystem.
Its time to pay attention to real utility.

Sentinel has the only DePin infrastructure where entrepreneurs can aim to build their own multi-million dollar business with 0 offchain server dependencies. All they require is a chain RPC.
Sentinel provides you with the compute for your application logic, access to bandwidth, and the most resilient P2P networking protocol with its on-chain DHT structure.
SentNodes, an operational dashboard for Sentinel node operators built by the team at @busurnode, has received a significant update.
Operators can now benefit from improved node analytics, real-time revenue tracking, wallet metrics, enhanced health monitoring, daily reporting, and a refreshed user experience.
Another example of independent teams continuing to strengthen the infrastructure available across the Sentinel ecosystem.

In this edition of Sentinel's Sunday Morality, we ask:
Who do you think owns your data?
Your phone knows where you go, what you buy, what you search for, and who you spend time with.
Every day that information is collected, stored, shared, and monetized, but who owns it?
For years, the Sentinel Network has ranked among the most active networks in the Cosmos ecosystem by real users and real transactions.
Now the ecosystem is expanding beyond decentralized VPN applications into end-to-end infrastructure for creating, deploying, managing, and scaling decentralized VPN services.
Compared against Solana ecosystem applications:
• 4,132,538 transactions in the past 30 days
• Ranked 93rd out of 1018 projects by monthly transactions
• 44,099 Daily Active Users
• Ranked 16th on Solana for DAU among projects with 1000+ active users
Infrastructure across the Sentinel ecosystem now includes released and upcoming utilities for:
• Node deployment and hosting
• Subscription plan infrastructure
• Transparent node testing
• AI agent connectivity via x402
• Open-source SDK integrations
• Programmable bandwidth infrastructure
• Whitelabel dVPN tooling
Governments and platforms are tightening online control and increasingly restricting what you can access online
The Sentinel Network powers decentralized VPN apps through independent peer-to-peer nodes, making internet access more resilient against censorship and restrictions
ProTip: You don't need to wait 21 days to unstake your $ATOM!
Is your ATOM staked, but you need access to your funds immediately?
Did you know you can use the Liquid Staking Module (LSM) to get your ATOM without waiting for the 21 day unbond period?
Just head to https://t.co/ou1RaPSWDU
Connect your wallet, click Used Staked Balance, and choose your validator.
Here your can instantly convert your staked ATOM to $stATOM, which you can then sell straight away on Skip:

Good luck!
The Sentinel Network has recorded over 40,000 recurring users so far in May.
The network also reached a new all-time high with over 2.4 million encrypted dVPN sessions during the month, averaging around 2 encrypted sessions per user, per day.
Since the beginning of 2026, the network has now processed more than 10.9 million encrypted sessions across the Sentinel ecosystem.
Decentralized VPN infrastructure continues to scale across independent, multiple applications, and users accessing a more open internet.

Sentinel's node deployer is ready for community testing on Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Batch deploy SSH nodes
- Manage docker in-app
- On-chain system specs reporting
and many other features.
Hosting a node on Sentinel used to be hard, now it is easy.

In the past few days, European authorities seized a centralized VPN provider over alleged organized crime links.
Advertising on criminal forums is never going to be a long-term strategy and will inevitably attract the attention of law enforcement, who will quite rightly use their powers to investigate and target those operations.
Privacy infrastructure is increasingly becoming a political target. Once privacy tools are associated with criminal misuse, it becomes easier for governments to justify broader restrictions that impact ordinary users, businesses, journalists, researchers, and remote workers.
The UK Home Secretary recently spoke positively about AI-powered “panopticon” style surveillance systems, referencing environments where people regulate their own behavior because they assume they are constantly being monitored.
Privacy is not evidence of wrongdoing. Curtains are not suspicious because they stop people seeing into your house.
If governments can decide what information you may access, what platforms you may use, or what conversations are acceptable “for your safety,” it follows naturally that restrictions on speech, thought, and access will continue expanding.
That is why decentralized infrastructure like the Sentinel Network matters, operating across thousands of independently operated dVPN nodes spanning 130+ countries, supporting multiple decentralized VPN applications and over 1M users and agents accessing decentralized bandwidth infrastructure.
⚠️ ALERTE LIBERTÉ : L’Assemblée a voté en cachette !
Seulement 81 députés sur 577 étaient présents pour adopter « l'État d’alerte de sécurité nationale ». Une honte démocratique.
Ce que vous risquez concrètement si cette loi passe :
❌ Plus de droit de manifester : Un simple décret pourra tout interdire.
❌ Vos comptes bancaires gelés : L'État pourra bloquer votre argent sans l'accord d'un juge.
❌ Contrôle total : Perquisitions, couvre-feux et surveillance de masse généralisée.
Pendant qu’on vous distrait, ils votent la fin de vos libertés fondamentales à moins de 15% de l'hémicycle.
Réveillez-vous avant qu'il ne soit trop tard. Partagez massivement ! 📢

VPN users being flagged as bots and forced through constant CAPTCHA challenges is becoming increasingly common.
The issue is largely architectural.
Centralized VPN providers route large numbers of users through shared datacenter IP ranges. Those IPs are cataloged by platforms, CDNs, and bot detection systems, causing entire ranges to inherit poor reputation scores regardless of individual user behavior.
Adding more servers to the same datacenter model does not fundamentally solve the issue.
Sentinel’s decentralized VPN network takes a different approach through independently operated peer-to-peer nodes distributed across 130+ countries.
Greater IP diversity reduces reliance on concentrated infrastructure ranges that can be easily identified, tracked, and restricted at scale.

Sentinel’s main website is being redesigned around the growing decentralized VPN builder ecosystem.
The next phase of development focuses on simplifying the launch, management, and monetization of decentralized VPN applications built on the Sentinel infrastructure.
Upcoming additions include:
• Plan Manager
• Node testing utilities
• Node hosting application
• x402 agentic payment integration
• AI-ready development prompts
• Comprehensive build guides for each platform
The tooling is designed to reduce the technical complexity involved in operating decentralized VPN services.
Application builders will be able to:
• Configure subscription plans
• Manage node access
• Test node quality and performance
• Configure fiat payment options
• Deploy and manage infrastructure more efficiently
The video shows the new node management and deployment tooling currently in development.
The long-term focus is on making decentralized VPN application development accessible to teams focused on product quality, customer acquisition, and user experience rather than low-level infrastructure management.

• Bandwidth
• Network information
• Node reputation
More progress from teams building whitelabel dVPN applications on Sentinel
Some of the most important releases in Sentinel's journey are happening starting this week.
Get ready for the new Plan Manager dashboard which gives decentralized VPN application builders the ability to purchase access to nodes and configure fiat payment options.
April stats for the Sentinel Network
Most users in a single month in 2026
All-time high for encrypted dVPN sessions
40k+ users
2M+ sessions
Access to the internet should not be restricted, and decentralized VPNs built on Sentinel help keep it that way.
