Proof-of-Stake validators,
for institutions and individuals
Delegate to a pool and take a share of what the validator earns. For institutions, we provide Validator-as-a-Service (VaaS): dedicated nodes we provision and operate under terms agreed per engagement.

How Sentinel works
People delegate to us, we run the validator, and the rewards it earns are paid out daily. That is the whole of it.
- 01
You add funds
Deposit USDT from any wallet or exchange. Your balance sits in your account until you choose what to do with it.
- 02
You pick a network
Each pool is one Proof-of-Stake network, with its own commission, unbonding period and reward rate.
- 03
We run the validator
Your delegation joins the pool. We operate the node that helps secure that network, keep it online and keep it in the active set.
- 04
You are paid every day
Rewards come from the blocks the validator produces and the fees it collects. We pay them out daily at a rate we set and review, with a reserve behind it so a lean day still pays. Take rewards out whenever you like; your delegation is released after the network's unbonding period.
Compare the networks we validate
Commission and unbonding period, side by side. Members see each pool’s daily rate and minimum once signed in.

Each pool's daily rate, its range and its minimum are shown to members once they sign in.
| Chain | Status | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cosmoshub-4 | 5% | 21d | Open | |
| osmosis-1 | 8% | 14d | Paused | |
| polkadot | 8% | 2d | Open | |

Network rate is what the chain itself paid when it was last measured, shown with its source when you open a row. It is not a rate Sentinel offers, and it varies with network conditions and total stake.
Funding your account
You fund in a dollar stablecoin and delegate from that balance, so what you deposit and what your balance says are the same number. Send on one of these networks.

- The network has to match on both ends. Funds sent on a network not listed here cannot be recovered by us or by anyone.
- Dollar stablecoins only. No BTC, ETH or other volatile assets. Crediting one would mean pricing it at the moment it arrives, and a wrong price there creates balance that was never funded.
Delegate your own assets
Put USDT into a pool and take a share of what its validator earns.
- 145 networks are listed, each with its own commission and unbonding period.
- Rewards come from the blocks the validator produces. Pools pay them out at a daily rate we set and review, below what the validator is expected to earn, so good days bank a surplus that lean days draw back down.
- Withdraw rewards at any time. What you delegated is released once that network’s unbonding period ends.
Have us run your validators
Validator-as-a-Service for teams that need infrastructure, not a retail pool.
- We are not running a validator yet. The first will be published on our transparency page, with its address, the day it starts signing.
- Infrastructure, monitoring, upgrades and key management are handled by our team, not yours.
- Commission and reporting are agreed per engagement, not the standard rates shown on the retail pools.
How the rewards split works
When a validator earns rewards from a protocol, that amount is split three ways. The rates are fixed per pool and shown before you delegate anything.
- Paid to delegators
- 80%–83%
- Infrastructure fund
- 12%
- Commission
- 5%
Divided between everyone in the pool, in proportion to what each person delegated.
Funds the servers, monitoring and validators we launch on the next networks.
Our operating revenue for running the validator and the platform.
These are the rates on Cosmos Hub. Rates vary slightly by pool; see the exact split for each network in the table above. A pool pays out at a daily rate we set and review, deliberately below what its network yields, so the surplus from good days funds the lean ones. That rate is not a guarantee: it can change, and the reserve behind it is finite.
What you should know before you start
- Rewards vary. They depend on network inflation, how much is staked overall, and validator performance. They are not fixed and they are not guaranteed.
- What you delegate is at risk. Proof-of-Stake networks can penalise validators for downtime or misbehaviour (this is called ), and the penalty is shared by every delegator behind them.
- Funds are locked during . Each network sets its own period, from 0 to 30 days. During it you earn nothing and cannot withdraw.
- We hold your assets. This is a service, so you are trusting us to operate honestly and competently. Our transparency page shows what we hold and how it moves.
