FAQ

SENTINEL is an AI-powered automated trading bot for Solana. It monitors Pump.fun 24/7, detects promising token launches using machine learning (94.74% accuracy), and executes trades automatically. It's 100% free and open source.

Yes! SENTINEL is 100% free and open source. There are no subscription fees, no hidden costs, and no token requirements. You can download, install, and use all features without any payment.

1. Visit the Download page and follow the installation instructions for your OS
2. Create an account on the bot dashboard
3. Start in Simulation Mode (10 virtual SOL) to learn the system
4. Configure your strategy in the Settings tab
5. Click "Start Bot" and watch it trade!

Simulation Mode lets you test SENTINEL with 10 virtual SOL without risking real money. All features work exactly like in Real Mode - you see real prices, real token launches, and real AI predictions - but trades are simulated. It's perfect for learning and testing strategies.

SENTINEL's AI model analyzes 61 features for each new token:

• Holder distribution and whale presence
• Transaction patterns and buy/sell ratios
• Developer behavior and history
• Liquidity and market metrics

The model was trained on 4,000+ historical tokens and achieves 94.74% accuracy in classifying tokens as GEM (10x+ potential), SAFE (good), or RUG (avoid).

Current live trading win rate is approximately 52.8% across 98+ trades. This means more than half of trades are profitable. Combined with proper stop-loss settings and take-profit strategies, this can lead to consistent gains over time.

Yes, absolutely. Crypto trading is inherently risky. While SENTINEL has a positive win rate and sophisticated AI, not every trade wins. You can and will have losing trades. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and always start with Simulation Mode to understand the risks.

• Stop Loss: Automatically sells when price drops by a set percentage (e.g., -30%) to limit losses
• Take Profit: Automatically sells when price increases by a set multiplier (e.g., 2x, 3x) to lock in gains
• Trailing Stop: A dynamic stop loss that rises with the price - protects profits while letting winners run

Migration happens when a Pump.fun token reaches ~$53,000 market cap and moves to Raydium/Pumpswap. This is often a key moment:

• Some tokens pump significantly after migration
• Others crash immediately

SENTINEL tracks migration progress and offers strategies like "Exit Before Migration" or "Progressive After Migration" to optimize your exits.

• Simulation Mode: 0 SOL (uses 10 virtual SOL)
• Real Mode: Minimum 0.5-1 SOL recommended to start
• Optimal: 2-5 SOL allows for more trades and better diversification

Remember to keep some SOL for transaction fees (each trade costs ~0.005 SOL).

SENTINEL is non-custodial. This means:

• Your private key is generated locally and shown to you ONCE
• We store an encrypted version, but YOU control the original key
• You can import your wallet to Phantom/Solflare anytime
• You can withdraw all funds at any time

Always save your private key securely!

No. For security reasons, we cannot recover your private key. The key is shown only once during wallet creation. If you've lost it and still have funds in your wallet, you may need to transfer them to a new wallet before regenerating.

1. Copy your wallet address from the Wallet tab in the dashboard
2. Send SOL from any exchange (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) or another wallet
3. Wait for confirmation (usually 1-2 minutes)
4. Your balance will update automatically

Since you have your private key, you can:

1. Import your key into Phantom or Solflare wallet
2. Access your full balance
3. Send SOL/tokens anywhere you want

SENTINEL never restricts access to your funds.
