Sentinel Grid provides decentralized, verifiable monitoring for critical infrastructure using Substrate. We monitor energy grids and telecom networks to prevent catastrophic failures.
15+
Sentinel Grid provides decentralized and verifiable monitoring for critical infrastructure using Substrate. We ingest and analyze real-time telemetry from energy grids and telecom networks to detect anomalies and prevent catastrophic failures. The goal is to bring mission-critical infrastructure systems into the Polkadot ecosystem with reliable, cross-chain visibility.

### 2.1 Ecosystem Fit
32-
We bring real-world critical infrastructure to Polkadot - demonstrating utility beyond DeFi/NFTs for mission-critical applications.
45+
Sentinel Grid brings real-world critical infrastructure telemetry to Polkadot. It expands the ecosystem beyond financial use cases by providing high-assurance monitoring tools for industrial and public-sector systems. No other Substrate project focuses on energy grids or telecom networks. By introducing verifiable telemetry, deterministic anomaly scores, and cross-chain alerts, Sentinel Grid offers new primitives for the Substrate and Polkadot ecosystem.

### 4.1 What makes this project unique
103+
Sentinel Grid is the first Substrate-based project focused on industrial and public-sector critical infrastructure. It introduces new primitives to Polkadot, including verifiable off-chain telemetry feeds, deterministic anomaly scoring, and cross-chain alerts. The MVP already proves feasibility and the need for decentralized monitoring in a market of more than 200 billion USD.
