Three new dVPN apps. Three independent teams. One shared decentralized bandwidth network. And @SentinelP2P is now approaching 2 million unique users. This is what infrastructure adoption starts to look like. Let’s unpack it. 🧵👇 - 1️⃣ 🛡️ Sentinel was never meant to be one VPN This distinction matters. Sentinel is not building a single consumer-facing dVPN and asking everyone to use it. It provides an open infrastructure layer on which independent teams can build their own applications. Same network. Different products. Different communities. - 2️⃣ 🚀 Three new applications recently launched on Sentinel 🔹 ChibaTunnel Open-source desktop dVPN for Windows, macOS and Linux, developed by @TkdAxel. 🔹 VeilDVPN Android dVPN from @Bitveilofficial. 🔹 Katacomb VPN Open-source Linux client from long-time Sentinel community member @proofoftrinity. Three teams taking three different routes into the same network. - 3️⃣ 💻 ChibaTunnel brings Sentinel to the desktop Windows. macOS. Linux. The important part is not simply another interface. It is another independent entry point into Sentinel’s decentralized bandwidth infrastructure. Builders do not need to recreate the whole network underneath their product. They can build on top of it. - 4️⃣ 📱 VeilDVPN takes another route Veil focuses on Android and introduces features including: 🔹 multi-hop connectivity 🔹 subscription support 🔹 direct $P2P payments The same underlying infrastructure can support a very different user experience. That flexibility is part of the architecture. - 5️⃣ ⚙️ Katacomb pushes the technical side further Katacomb supports six protocols: 🔹 WireGuard 🔹 AmneziaWG 🔹 OpenVPN 🔹 V2Ray 🔹 XRAY 🔹 Hysteria2 Alongside multi-hop connectivity and on-chain payments. Sentinel provides the shared foundation. Builders decide how their product behaves. - 6️⃣ 🌐 This is where the model becomes interesting A traditional VPN company usually controls: the application the servers the subscriptions the infrastructure the user relationship Sentinel separates these layers. Independent node operators provide bandwidth. Builders create applications. Users choose how they access the network. The infrastructure becomes shared instead of vertically owned. - 7️⃣ 🧩 Think of Sentinel as a public railway The tracks already exist. Different teams can build different trains for different passengers. One may optimize for mobile simplicity. Another for advanced privacy. Another for desktop users. They do not need to build the railway again. They can focus on where they want to take users. - 8️⃣ 📡 And that railway is already carrying traffic Sentinel reports more than 1.9 million unique users across its dVPN ecosystem. The network is now approaching the 2 million milestone. That matters. Infrastructure is easy to describe in architecture diagrams. It becomes much more interesting when independent applications begin bringing real users onto it. - 9️⃣ 🏗️ More applications can strengthen the network effect More builders can mean: 🔹 more interfaces for users 🔹 more markets and communities reached 🔹 more demand for decentralized bandwidth 🔹 more opportunities for node operators 🔹 more experimentation around pricing and UX Instead of betting adoption on one flagship app, Sentinel can distribute that challenge across an ecosystem. - 🔟 🔵 One network. Many doors. ChibaTunnel, VeilDVPN and Katacomb are different products. That is precisely the point. Sentinel does not need every user to enter through the same door. It needs builders willing to create more doors into the same decentralized infrastructure. And with Sentinel preparing for its move to @solana , this next phase is arriving with new apps already live. More apps. More access points. More users. More decentralized bandwidth in motion. 🛡️🌐 Explore applications built on Sentinel: docs.sentinel.co/get-started… 🔁💙 Open infrastructure should help more builders create useful products, not force every team to rebuild the network from zero. 💬 What kind of dVPN app would you like to see built on Sentinel?
