Dear Indigitus community,
It has been years of development and working closely with the Sentinel developer community, and in February 2024 the direction of the protocol has moved to, as we quote from the latest Sentinel Announcement (for full Sentinel announcement from Telegram check bottom of this post)
Hardware - Hardware in the form of a cheap effective and fully open solution like Raspberry Pi is a subset of the residential node topic however deserves its own section as it is the most practical way of hosting a residential node and is the only way that we can get the residential node pool to scale as people cannot leave their home PC on 24/7 effectively.
We need to get as many people as possible to host a residential node using a Raspberry Pi and they will receive a consistent income of $10 per month and achieve breakeven and profit within the first year 100%. Community led initiatives and ideas in this aspect would be very fruitful.
So what does this mean for the ambassadors of our Indigitus community?
- We encourage you to take up this opportunity to get a Raspberry Pi and participate in this community event Sentinel is hosting
- A refund in DVPN will be given to current backers and our customer service team will be sending instructions in various ambassador channels and emails.
- Indigitus team has provided other benefits over the years, and will continue to give other benefits to ambassadors in future projects and opportunities.

The directives for the community are clear - any contributions in these areas will be prioritized. Can use growth DAO chat for discussion and approved initiatives will receive incentives.
1) Residential Nodes - The first residential node subscription has been established and is live, it is not being used by any app but over 50 nodes are being incentivized right now.
Residential nodes are a very important part of our ecosystem, these are the highest quality of nodes which are required by users to bypass filters which can block all other cloud nodes.
The goal is to see multiple residential node related dVPN apps come out that can charge a premium for offering users access to these nodes. In addition to begin providing b2b service offering, preferably targeting data scraping organizations which are using this data to train AI models. Any insight, research and connections on the B2B aspect would be very helpful.

3) DePin Thought Leadership - DePin is one of the hottest sectors now as the blockchain ecosystem comes full circle and realizes the reason for why it was established in the first place. The core ethos of the blockchain ecosystem is distributed resource networks, and Sentinel has believed in and stuck to this ethos now for 7 years regardless of the hype or lack there of for the DePin ecosystem. Now as destiny has it, as Sentinel is maturing and ready to become a unicorn - the DePin ecosystem has become very strong now.
Sentinel has to get strong thought leadership in the DePin ecosystem, apart from AKT there are very few networks providing real utility with real users. Sentinel has the highest amount of DAU and MAU at this point of time. Helium leads in the amount of infra with 1M hotspots, Sentinel could scale there but the market cap would have to be much higher in order to afford the incentives as Helium has paid out well over $100M of incentives to achieve such a capacity of infra.
There is no DePin network today that is being used by people around the world to the extent that Sentinel is. This is the only distributed resource ecosystem where you can find russians, Chinese, Iranians and every other ethnicity being service providers as well as users.
Sentinel will 100% reach total 1M users this year and cross 100K DAU. Sentinel will be in the top 5 DePin metrics count very consistently. It is our duty to make sure this is highlighted amidst all of the tens of millions of dollars being spent on marketing by other DePin projects with impractical usecases. It is time for war for mind share.
Messari has to acknowledge Sentinel, and so do all of the other DePin research orgs. Sentinel will prepare to pay for research reports and intends to make DePin thought leadership an absolute priority.
All community assistance and engagement in this aspect is highly appreciated and can be incentivized as well.
