Sentinel Grid is a Substrate-based protocol providing decentralized, verifiable monitoring for mission-critical infrastructure. We ingest encrypted telemetry from energy grids and telecom networks, run deterministic AI-based anomaly scoring off-chain, and record provable events onchain. This creates tamperresistant audit trails, cross-chain alerting, and tokenizable real-world assets for infrastructure operators and downstream DeFi/insurance primitives.

### 2.1 Ecosystem Fit
56
-
Sentinel Grid expands the Polkadot/Substrate ecosystem into industrial and public-sector infrastructure. It provides primitives not currently available: verifiable off-chain telemetry, deterministic anomaly scoring, and XCM cross-chain alert propagation. This broadens Substrate usage beyond finance and collectibles and attracts enterprise and public-sector users.
