Announcement: Node Hosts required for White-Label POC - Whitelist Opening Tomorrow
What is going on? - The Node Incentive program will be re-opening for community members. Community members will be incentivized to host nodes to provide bandwidth to the users of a White-Label POC (proof of concept) application that will be soon launched.
Why a node incentive program now? - As discussed in February, a successful centralized VPN application is considering to launch dVPN applications built on Sentinel and will be undertaking a POC in order to test the network before making further decisions on network transition. This organization currently has a VPN with over 1 million daily active users and over 13 Million total downloads. This POC aims to reach a minimum of over 20k users within the first months in order to stress-test the Sentinel network.
What work has been done in the past month on integration? - This experience was the first experience where Sentinel's core networking side contributors have interacted with a real centralized VPN team intending to migrate their architecture onto Sentinel's stack. This experience allowed for the creation of stronger onboarding processes including more specific integration documentation as well as a brand new Sentinel Rest Client that was released recently making API integrations easier.
(recently introduced integration documentation)
Why is this node incentive program for a private group of nodes? - Currently the POC dVPN application will be intending to provide free VPN access to its userbase and will be using Sentinel's on-chain subscription system to allocate free bandwidth to users. Currently the on-chain subscription system does not allow a creator to add paid nodes from the public dVPN node list and only allows for node hosts to manually join an active subscription without the ability to set any pricing. This inconvenience is temporary as there will be the ability for subscription owners to add paid nodes into a subscription with the upcoming protocol upgrade proposal. For the time-being, node hosts will have to manually add their node to an active subscription in order to be eligible for this airdrop.
What is the geo-location focus of the nodes? The geo-location focus of the nodes is in the Middle East as well as South East Asia as the intention is for the nodes to have a closer proximity to Iran which is the main focus group of this POC.
The desired countries for these nodes include: Singapore, UAE, Thailand, Vietnam, India
More information will be released on incentives and other specifics pertaining to this incentive program for powering one of the first applications being launched on Sentinel by a real centralized VPN provider.
