Sentinel / DA Nodes are additional components of your Rollup infrastructure that protocols don’t provide natively. Through our specially designed node client softwares, Zeeve enables adding these extra pieces to your Rollup layer. 

The next step is selling those Node licenses to your existing Community. This can be done through Launchpad partners, like the ways IDOs are done, to raise your desired amount. Projects can tap into Zeeve’s partner network for this. 

To initiate a Layer-2 or Layer-3 deployment using Zeeve, start by logging into the Zeeve Rollup-as-a-Service Dashboard. Here, you can select from diverse configurations such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, or Polygon CDK Stack to suit your project’s requirements. After deploying your blockchain, our team will help you define the participation mechanisms for your community members. Here are the options:

1. Projects with an existing token require Node Operators to stake a specific amount of your native tokens to operate Sentinel/ DA Nodes and earn rewards.

2. For projects without a deployed token, allow participants to earn your token by purchasing licenses and operating Sentinel/ DANodes through a Node Sale. Contact Zeeve to facilitate and strategize your Node Sale.

Sentinel Node Operators play a crucial role in monitoring the updates to the blockchain state and detecting any invalid submissions by the network’s validators. When discrepancies are found, Sentinels initiate a protocol to challenge and correct these invalid updates, ensuring the blockchain remains accurate and secure for all users.

Operating a Sentinel Node provides significant benefits, including earning a mix of token rewards specified during the Node Sale and transaction fees from the blockchain operations. Sentinel Nodes that are consistently online receive these rewards, contributing to the network’s security and efficiency.
