Bets Without Borders: Sentinel and Tokabu Partner for New Gambling dVPN

Last week, a Sentinel team member has announced that they will be partnering with Tokabu to develop a dVPN application aimed at gamblers. More details have emerged since then, including an overview of how the application will look and function.

In addition to catering to a highly geo-restricted niche market which boasts a high demand for VPNs, this will become Sentinel's second foothold within the popular Solana Ecosystem (encryptSIM being the first a few months ago).

What is Tokabu?

Tokabu, also known as the Spirit of Gambling, is a memecoin ($TOKABU) created to celebrate gambling culture, audacity, and the excitement of chance and chaos.

It's used by its community to fuel playful events, rituals, and narratives, contributing to an overarching tongue-in-cheek mythos deifying the coin's namesake as a god of speculation. Volatility is embraced, not feared—with every pump and dump becoming another thrilling chapter of a story of winnings and losses.

Tokabu groups on Telegram, Discord, and other platforms often hold minigames, lotteries, and raffles using the asset. The community culture includes a keyboard-smash shorthand (ex. "GLWGWUGWLGUWGW") intended to convey the excitement of playing the slots or a rolling of the dice.

Tokabu, which is part of the Solana Ecosystem, has been heavily promoted by the massively popular Pump.fun platform, including its creator, Alon.

Substantial details are already available about the application in development, despite the short amount of time which has passed since it was announced.

• The Sentinel Foundation seems to be developing it in-house, much like Cosmo dVPN and the Sentinel Shield ecosystem flagship app.
• As usual with Sentinel dVPN applications, its initial debut will be on mobile platforms (Android and iOS).
• It will have a simplistic, straightforward interface designed for ease-of-use.
• During its first phase, the dVPN will be free to use, with revenue being collected from in-app advertisements for casino affiliates and other gambling venues.
  • TOKABU coin payments for subscriptions will be rolled out later on.

Today, the team has released a mockup of how the user interface will look:

No timeframe has been provided for the launch yet, but the team appears to have flagged the release as high priority.

This is the second attempt that Sentinel has made at creating a bespoke dVPN for a memecoin community—Dogwifhat dVPN successfully catered to WIF holders for most of 2024 before being put on indefinite hiatus due to issues with app stores.

These efforts are more than just an attempt to spread Sentinel's reach and capitalize on trends, it's a broader statement about the project's openness to third-party integrations and accommodation of an infinite spectrum of payment methods: dVPN can embed itself as an ally to any Web3 community and level up their asset's fundamentals in the process.
