As Sentinel's userbase and reputation continue to balloon more and more every day, it doesn't take a keen observer to notice that the community is becoming much more busy.
Sentinel's decentralised community is a reflection of the the decentralised nature of the project itself: An umbrella under which countless separate teams and individuals develop countless different products, all allied together in a campaign for privacy. It's easy to see how the tendency of Sentinel enthusiasts to carve out little kingdoms and clubhouses for themselves and their peers within the social structure of the project could be overwhelming to newcomersโbut these groups, subgroups, channels, cliques, and servers that we inhabit all serve a purpose, we promise!
If you're new to this project, we hope that this directory will help you to tailor your Sentinel community experience, and find a balance of both engagement and information consumption that works for you as an individual.
At S.I.N. we've created two of these directories before; but dVPN.news has finally provided us with a static home for it that can be re-accessed and continually updated with ease.
Telegram

Follow this channel for the latest Sentinel news, announcements, updates, and events from the project team.

๐ Sentinel dVPN
The community's de facto central hub for discussion, feedback, and collaboration. All Sentinel-related topics can be discussed here, with the exception of token price.
This is also the best place to go if you want to provide feedback or ask questions to the core project team.

๐ฌ Sentinel Discord Server
The official Sentinel Discord server, largely maintained by a validator called CommunityStaking, is a fast-growing alternative to the official Telegram group. It features channels for every Sentinel topic you can imagineโfrom governance to whitelabels to trading to nodes. New posts from the Sentinel Official Announcements, Sentinel Independent News, and Sentinel meme channels on Telegram are also automatically relayed to the server.
๐๏ธ Sentinel Commonwealth
DVPN Proposal 12, which was passed in August 2022, established governance procedures for the Sentinel chain. It mandated the creation of this Commonwealth forum, and stipulated that every governance proposal must be submitted for community review and discussion here for a duration of time before it can be posted to the chain for voting.
โ๏ธ Sentinel GitHub
GitHub is used by the Sentinel team and its collaborators as a repository for the project's code. As Sentinel is an open source project, this platform is vital for ensuring development transparency and accessibility.
๐ Sentinel Medium
Unlike the articles on this website (which are primarily contributed by community members and unofficial project collaborators), posts on the Sentinel Medium are 0fficial long-form announcements and news straight from the core team.
โถ๏ธ Sentinel on YouTube
Sentinel's official YouTube channel, established in March 2024 and operated by the Sentinel Growth DAO. The content includes news, announcements, and tutorials.
๐ป r/DVPN
Sentinel's official Subreddit. Not terribly busy, but a decent, actively moderated place for long-form discussions, questions, and feedback about Sentinel.
๐ณ Sentinel Linktree
Linktree is a simple platform used by businesses and projects to create lists of links to official accounts and channels in an easy-to-digest format. If you're promoting Sentinel to new users, sharing this page can be a great introduction.
This guide was co-authored by Sentinel Independent News and Trinity Validator.
More Sentinel guides and resources are available at the Sentinel Documentation website.
