Architecture
Your session lives in your browser
The Sentinel scraper uses Telegram's official MTProto protocol. When you enter your API credentials, they authenticate a local session inside your Chrome extension. Your API keys never leave your machine. There is no Sentinel server in the scraper's authentication path. The optional Phase 2 bot will connect to execute trades. It is non-custodial and never holds your assets.

Chrome permissions
The Sentinel scraper has zero connection to your Solana wallet or private keys.
The scraper extension runs entirely in your browser. It never connects to a server and cannot sign or access your wallet. The optional Phase 2 trading bot will require a connection to execute trades, but Sentinel never takes custody of your assets.
