New Sentinel Website in Development
As Sentinel's mission broadens, the project's website is slated to receive a substantial overhaul for the first time in almost two years.
The Sentinel Foundation announced on Friday that the project's website will be receiving a complete overhaul over the coming months.
In addition to a desire for aesthetic improvements, the objective of this redesign is to bring the website's messaging in line with Sentinel's identity as a peer-to-peer bandwidth marketplace and DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network).
"Now it's a heavy grind on the new documentation [for Sentinel Scout] and the new homepage," the Foundation member commented again a few days later. While no exact timeframe was provided, he hinted that the team considers the update time-sensitive and urgent—no doubt an acknowledgement of the emerging bull market.
Background
Screenshots of the Sentinel website in November 2024. Clockwise: Landing page, applications, dVPN node map, and network statistics dashboard.
The current website was considered a triumph by the community when it went live in February of 2023. The overhaul succeeded in refreshing the project's public face and expunging information that had become outdated. At the time, the new website also represented a spiritual rebirth of Sentinel to the community; a much-needed breath of fresh air following the harrowing 2022 bear market.
However, in the world of Web3, things move quickly. Over the past two years, Sentinel has seen a massive expansion in both adoption and scope. The current website portrays Sentinel solely as an open source dVPN architecture and does not convey the range of possibilities offered by the project's blockchain and node networks. That issue was exacerbated by the Scout beta and launch process, which began in late summer.

This conceptual framework for blockchain torrents is another compelling potential usecase for the Sentinel blockchain.
Potential Changes
Some specific changes that the team has expressed interest in making include:
- Integration of Sentinel Scout (the chain's AI data acquisition protocol) and its frontend customer dashboard into the main website.
- Consolidation of the website's various stats dashboards, maps, and other utilities into a unified interface.
Today on Telegram a team member described the rudiments of how this unified interface will work:
"On the homepage, as the user enters the first section, [there] will be two call-to-actions side by side. In one section the user can select the device and dVPN services they want, and they'll be recommended a dVPN application," he explained. "In the other section, a user can enter a request for scraping data that will then point them towards Sentinel Scout."

What is Sentinel?
Sentinel is a peer-to-peer global bandwidth marketplace which powers both privacy-focused consumer products and development utilities. The most prominent of these usecases at present are decentralised VPN (dVPN) applications and data acquisition for the training of AI models.
