These past few weeks have been exciting both for the team and the community. Last Friday, we have successfully raised US$14.4 million. We couldn’t have done it without the confidence and support of our community. Thank you.

We’d like to take this opportunity to reflect on the highlights of the Sentinel Chain Token Sale.

The Beginning

In the very beginning, there was our whitepaper. What began as an idea, 31 versions later had transformed into a 50-page whitepaper complete with a Technical Appendix. Our whitepaper discussed the solution to allow for the asset tokenization of livestock. We received many encouraging words from the community on our solution — the Sentinel Chain model. Through the confidence of the community, we powered through.

Our Telegram community

The Sentinel Chain Telegram community has grown from 5,000 (the early days) to around 13,000 members. This organic and collective support underlines the heart of the community, that not only believe in this project, but the purpose it serves to the greater community — the unbanked and under-served in the world. The value of the FinTech promise is indeed well championed by the community who truly believe in it.

Our Proof-of-Support campaign

Eliciting care through your call-to-action

The community was eager to participate in our Proof-of-Support campaign (POS) and we were overwhelmed by the community’s strong participation when the moment finally arrived to submit their POS.

The community shared their insights about Sentinel Chain and generated interest and exposure for our project. The community, through various ways, discussed Sentinel Chain’s mission to empower the unbanked and even explained the blockchain technology driving the project.

The Sentinel Chain message was heard across continents far and wide — from Russia, Africa, Turkey and even Costa Rica. Here are some we’d like to share with you.
