Exidio users can monetize their excess bandwidth as well as encrypt data sent to and from their smartphones using its new app.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Exidio has launched mobile apps for its decentralized VPN ( dVPN ) that not only encrypt data sent to and from iOS and Android smartphones but also
allows users to earn passive income in the process.

Unlike with other VPN services, the company's users can offer node hosting
and excess bandwidth to earn a bit of income by providing resources to
others.

In an interview with Coinbase , Exidio CEO Dan Edlebeck provided further insight on how its decentralized VPN differs from existing centralized VPNs, saying:

Were bringing a lot of the same benefits of centralized VPN, but in an open-source, peer-to-peer network where people are offering bandwidth and earning income for offering that resource to the network. And anyone thats connected to the VPN network is actually getting a provably encrypted connection because theres no middleman. Sentinel network

Exidio's new mobile apps are built on the Sentinel network which is a peer-to-peer bandwidth marketplace on the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem that went live earlier this year.

While developers can use the Sentinel network to build dVPN apps that that
tap into the Sentinel marketplace, end users can make payments using the network's native cryptocurrency DVPN or with a debit or credit card.

Exidio offers pay-as-you-go pricing that ranges between $1.99 or $19.99 depending on a user's bandwidth needs.

Going forward, Exidio plans to launch desktop applications for its decentralized VPN as well as a supply side-focused app that will allow users to offer bandwidth and start earning income from the service. However, Edlebeck also says that the company wants to launch its own VPN router so
that users can easily offer their excess bandwidth to others.
