Shadow Node
A decentralized VPN with a web dashboard for staking and node rewards, and a companion desktop VPN client.
What our team built
Built the marketing site and dashboard, the Node/Express APIs, and the Electron + React desktop client with its Windows build.

The brief
Shadow Node is a decentralized VPN built around user-operated nodes. People needed one place to connect a wallet, stake, follow node rewards and download a desktop client that actually connects them.
