| 2024-11-20 | HackerNoon/ZEX | Meile | Press Release | [Read] |
The aforementioned CoinDesk article, written by Bradley Keoun, was the most significant piece of independent Sentinel coverage by a mainstream journalism outlet since Alexandr Litreev's appearance on BloombergTV in 2022.
Sponsorships
Sentinel was a headline sponsor of the Cosmos Istanbul event, which took place on August 12th. The project would later become a diamond sponsor of the larger Cosmoverse 2024 conference in Dubai during October.
Notes
- Decentr has been excluded because most media appearances by the Decentr team pertain to browser features besides the native dVPN extension.
- NORSE Labs was "SOLAR Labs" until this summer. While the majority of the NORSE Labs appearances listed in this piece were actually SOLAR Labs (and the two are actually distinct companies, not the product of a rebrand), we have labelled them as NORSE for ease of access.
