Sentinel migrated from an Ethereum smart contract to a Cosmos SDK app chain and was one of the earliest projects to recognize the benefits of the Interchain Stack, the Cosmos SDK in particular. Aleksandr Litreev says, “At the beginning [being a smart contract on Ethereum] was OK, and it worked. We built a Proof of Concept for our #application and showed the world that it’s possible to build a fully decentralized #VPN for mass market use.” As Sentinel evolved, however, “We started not to #develop, but rather work to combat against Ethereum restrictions… and with fees making the cost of operating our dVPN #infrastructure unpredictable… we’re very happy we switched to the #Interchain Stack.” Read more about why Sentinel is an early adopter of the Interchain Stack in the following blog post: https://lnkd.in/e_emNbrV
