SENTRY

Questions and straight answers

How Sentry reaches a verdict, where its data comes from, and what it can't see.

Verdicts

Is Sentry free?

Yes. Each visitor gets 12 fresh scans every 10 minutes, and verdicts from the last 10 minutes cost nothing. Night Watch raises the limit to 60.

How is the score built?

Every finding adds points, weighted by how much money it has taken from people before. A confirmed honeypot adds 90. An owner who can still mint adds a lot; the same power behind a cap adds less. The total runs from 0 to 100: under 20 is SAFE, 20 to 44 CAUTION, 45 to 74 DANGER, and 75 or more RUG. The report lists every finding that moved the score.

What does SAFE mean?

Sentry found no mechanical red flags at scan time: you can sell, the taxes are low, nobody holds a switch that takes your tokens. It says nothing about the price. A SAFE token can still fall to zero, so size your position for that.

Why did a token's verdict change?

Owners change settings, liquidity gets pulled, whales move. Sentry re-reads the chain on every fresh scan, so a token can go from SAFE to DANGER in an afternoon. Night Watch re-scans your watchlist every 20 minutes and tells you when that happens.

Can Sentry be wrong?

Yes. A contract can hide logic in unverified code or inside a V4 hook, and an owner can flip a setting a minute after the scan. When a check could not run, the report says why and prints that check hollow, so you can see what Sentry did not see.

The checks

What is the sandbox trade?

On Robinhood Chain, Sentry buys the token with ETH in its deepest pool, sends a tenth to a fresh wallet and sells the rest back into the same pool. All of it runs inside a read-only call on the node with a throwaway contract, so nothing is signed, paid or deployed. It works on Uniswap V2, V3 and V4 pools, hooks included, and reports the real buy, transfer and sell taxes.

A sell failed right after a buy. Is it a honeypot?

Not always. Some tokens and V4 hooks punish a sell in the same block as a buy, to stop sandwich bots. When that happens Sentry re-tests the sell as an ordinary holder who bought earlier. If that sell goes through, the report says so and the score reflects the holder's result.

Who are ARGUS and VERA?

They are the two halves of the scan. ARGUS reads the chain: the owner, proxy slots, holders, liquidity custody and the sandbox trade. VERA reads the verified source code line by line and flags mint functions, uncapped fees, blacklists, trading switches, upgrade paths and hidden owners, with the line number of each.

Is there an AI model behind the verdict?

No language model. ARGUS and VERA are fixed rule sets, so the same token in the same state always gets the same verdict, and every point on the score traces back to a finding you can read.

What does "impostor" mean on a report?

Another token on the same chain uses the same symbol with at least twenty times the liquidity. Copycat tokens sell on the name of the real one. The report names the original and its address.

What is the launch minute?

It is a trace of every transfer in the first 60 seconds after the pool opened: how many wallets bought, how many did it in the opening block, which transactions fanned tokens out to many wallets, and how much of the supply they still hold. A heavy opening block often means one team bought through many wallets.

Data and chains

Where does the data come from?

A Robinhood Chain node, GoPlus, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, Sourcify and Blockscout. Each report lists which sources answered for that scan.

Which chains does Sentry cover?

Robinhood Chain gets every check, including the sandbox trade and the launch-minute trace. Solana and 26 other EVM chains get GoPlus security fields, market data and VERA's code read where the source is verified.

Does Sentry keep my data?

Sentry stores the verdicts it prints, which are public, and a watchlist tied to your wallet address if you use Night Watch. It has no email, no name and no password to store.

Wallet and the Desk

Do I need a wallet?

Not to scan. Paste an address and read the verdict. You connect a wallet for Night Watch and to trade on the Desk.

Why can I only sign in with a wallet?

Your wallet address is the account. Signing a message proves you own it, moves no funds and costs no gas, and Sentry never has an email or password to leak.

Does the Desk take a fee?

No. Your wallet sends the swap straight to Uniswap's official routers on Robinhood Chain. Sentry never holds your funds and adds nothing to the trade.

Why can't the Desk trade a token?

The Desk trades pools that pair a token with ETH and answer a live quote in both directions. If a pool's hook lets you buy but refuses the sell through Uniswap's router, the Desk won't route a buy into it and tells you why. Tokens that only trade against other assets get a link to where they do trade.

What happens before my wallet opens?

The Desk quotes the trade, sets your minimum from the slippage you chose, and dry-runs the exact swap from your address. A swap that would revert stops there, so a failed trade doesn't cost you gas. If Sentry rates the token DANGER or RUG, you tick a box that says you read the warning before the buy button unlocks. Selling is never blocked.

$SNTR

When does $SNTR launch?

Soon, on Robinhood Chain. The contract address publishes on the $SNTR page, on the home page and on Sentry's X account at launch. Treat any address you see before that as a fake.

How do I get Night Watch?

Until $SNTR launches, connect any wallet and you have it. After launch, hold 1,000,000 $SNTR in the wallet you sign in with.

Do I have to stake or lock $SNTR?

No. Sentry reads your balance when you sign in. The tokens stay in your wallet, and you sign no approval.
