Validator Networks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SENTINEL (p2p)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

We became a Sentinel Validator in August 2022 and our contributions to the network and foundation have not gone unnoticed. In February of 2023 we did an Airdrop of Decentr coins to our delegators. Delegators to our MathNodes validators can expect airdrops of Cosmos coins in the future. We are a team dedicated to expanding the reach of privacy on the internet by developing dapps and assisting in the core design of the Sentinel network and infrastructure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

BITSONG (btsg)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Bitsong was our second expansion as a validator team becoming active in August 2022. We believe the future of collectible art in the form of music NFTs is on the bleeding edge of music industry technology. It is exciting to be part of the BitSong validator team and we look forward to many contributions to the network as we expand our resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DECENTR (dec)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

In early 2023 we expanded to our third validator on the Decentr blockchain. Decentr offers a unique web3 experience by having a custom browser where web surfers can earn the DEC coin simply by using their web browser. We work closely with the Decentr team and have a foundational delegation from them as well. More time will be spent engaging with the Decentr team on product integration into a Sentinel apps. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

JACKAL (jkl)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Slowly expanding our reach in the Cosmos ecosystem, in January 2024 we launched our Jackal validator. Much time has been spent researching Jackal and Jackal labs and their focus on DePIN and privacy which strikes a chord with our beliefs. We are happy to finally have launched a validator on the Jackal protocol. As the MathNodes team expands we look forward to developing dapps and providing infrastructure to the Jackal network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SERAI <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Serai DEX is a forthcoming AMM DEX similar to Thorchain. The primary difference is that Serai will be the leading DEX for privacy coins. The testnet validators have just launched in the 2nd week of Feburary 2024 and MathNodes is proud to be among the first few testnet validators. We hope to be selected as one of the main validators once the network goes live sometime in 2024. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Penumbra (um)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Penumbra launched in July 2024 to become the first full shielded (ZK) chain within the Cosmos ecosystem and only one of a few full shielded chains in the entire cryptosphere. The launch of a full shielded chain was very bold given the current regulatory framework and governments displeasure with private cryptocurrencies. Their fully private dex is first in the industry and guarantees strong privacy when trading or providing liquidity. It was our honor to become part of the validator set back in March 2025. We are working closely with the team and will research possibilities to integrate $UM within the Sentinel ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Namada (nam)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Namada launched its mainnet in December of 2024 an is the second shielded chain within the Cosmos. Slightly different approach than Penumbra, Namada offers something similar to Zcash with its t-address support. It differs greatly from Zcash in that it has enabled IBC within Cosmos and beyond. We are happy to be part of the Namada validator set – launching in June 2025 – as phase 5 of mainnet is rounding completion. We look forward to working with the Namda team to further the reach of Sentinel in the Cosmos and enable shielded payments of NAM to apps within Sentinel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Particl (part)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Particl is a privacy coin which operates on a PoW & PoS hybrid network. Particl is a small project that has been around for over 7 years. Their decentralized marketplace, which can be found in the desktop wallet, is the future of clearnet crypto marketplaces. With full escrow, private purchases and no commission it truly is a market of the future. Holders of PART can delegate their public coins to a cold staking node or to a cold staking pool (for a commission) while retaining full control of their coins. MathNodes now provides a cold staking node for users to participate in the consensus of Particl while earning ~7% APY on their coins. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nous Host launched in February of 2023 as a sponsored project by MathNodes. The Sentinel Foundation contracted the Nous team to research the plausibility of an onion protocol within the Sentinel infrastructure. Nous is still an ongoing project and MathNodes provides technical support. The validator is now hosted on a residential server out of Las Vegas further decentralizing the Sentinel network. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
