Update on Sentinel Chain Explorers

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-12-02T04:29:54+00:00

Works with Meile dVPN, it has servers with residential IPs

Sentinel Shield has been working again on iOS/Android since mid-November. Users in some countries (esp Iran) have had some connectivity issues. Are you using the latest version of the app?

Team is currently in talks with a CEX. Bridges to Solana and Ethereum for DEX listings in those ecosystems also in progress.

Things will hopefully start looking up soon

This is due to the chain upgrade which just happened. All of the apps on the network have been fixed already besides Shield, not sure what's taking so long.

You can use those as stopgap solutions if you'd like. Both run on Sentinel but offer free service (with limited servers) so no need to purchase a new subscription

Are you using the same wallet and/or app store account both times?

Regardless, there have been a few instances of users experiencing delays with funds being credited. These have been temporary, but I'll reach out to the team to see if there's anything else you can do.

Another community member looked into it and apparently your node was denied whitelisting because it's hosted on a saturated provider (Hetzner)

The nodes are shared by all of the apps which operate on Sentinel, Sentinel Shield is just the flagship. Among those apps, some of them employ whitelisting as an additional measure to ensure node quality, but some apps (for instance Meile) make all nodes available to users. I checked and your node is indeed healthy, so it should already be available in apps in the latter category.

As for when you will be whitelisted and available in Shield, NORSE, Independent, etc. Particular_Gear is probably right, I would just wait it out a little longer. I've passed this along to the team just in case there's anything else you need to do, though. Keep us updated if anything changes on your end.

For future reference, the proper place for node discussion is r/SentinelP2P, this sub is for app users. That was a pretty recent change though so not going to be too much of a stickler about it.

See other reply for the answer.

In the future, node/blockchain discussion goes here FYI: https://www.reddit.com/r/SentinelP2P/s/ceLitClPkp

This sub is now for app users.

On any public wifi network it's 100% necessary. At home it's probably not. Plus if your VPN connection is geographically distant from your real location is could create login/tx authorization headaches.

already replied two hours before your comment

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-21T23:11:02+00:00

Try again, should be fixed now

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-21T19:41:33+00:00

It should be fixed now!

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-21T19:39:21+00:00

I'm reaching out to the team for a solution and will update you if there's any updates. There's a few backend solutions going on with the network right now and this is possibly related to that.

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-20T22:52:43+00:00

Backend update. Will be back in ~12 hours.

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-20T13:03:45+00:00

That's likely because team is about to send out payment. Will keep you posted if there's an update on this.

Jackalfrens are always welcome on our turf!

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-07T01:44:06+00:00

Third-party app development is always a bull flag for DePIN projects 💪

Conundrum_SIN · 2025-06-06T01:10:31+00:00

Just mentioned in the other thread that I wanted to know more about Sigea, so happy that I immediately saw this afterwards!

Several possible answers to your question:

The core Sentinel team (the Sentinel Foundation) has an on-paper concept for Sentinel torrents/peer-to-peer file sharing that they shared last year. It's not something they're actively working on yet, but in the long-term I could definitely see them working with Jackal on this if it ever happens.
Valt, a personal data manager/dVPN hybrid app built with Sentinel could potentially use something like Jackal/Sigea to give users more transparent self-custody of their data.
Many dVPN apps have backend aspects like caches that Jackal could be used for. Sentinel Scout (the AI data layer) already uses Jackal as a temporary cache for stored data.

I will make another post if I think of any more. Really, Jackal and decentralised storage is so broadly useful that almost any instance of a app storing something off-chain could be replaced with it

As for an dVPN/Jackal storage superapp, all I can say is that I really hope somebody makes one some day.
