Sentinel is Burst’s trust layer. It makes it significantly harder for a single user to operate multiple wallets to bundle the supply of a token, manipulate early markets, or flood the platform with spam launches. Burst keeps creation permissionless. Sentinel raises the cost and complexity of abuse by correlating identity, funding, and behavior across wallets.

​
Why Sentinel exists

Open launch systems fail when one actor can create dozens of wallets, buy up early supply across all of them, and control a token’s market before anyone else gets a fair shot. Sentinel makes this ~90% harder by layering multiple enforcement signals that a single user cannot easily bypass.

​
Core model

Sentinel combines:
  • a fixed deployment cost of 0.1 SOL,
  • per-account rate limiting,
  • wallet identity correlation,
  • funding source analysis,
  • device and session signals,
  • and post-launch market integrity monitoring.
Sentinel is not one anti-spam switch. It is a layered trust system that correlates signals across wallets, funding sources, and on-platform behavior.

​
What Sentinel prevents

  • Supply bundling across multiple wallets by the same user.
  • Coordinated spam launches that bury real tokens.
  • Sybil attacks that game deployment limits.
  • Fake chart activity that traps legitimate traders.

How Sentinel works

Deployment limits

Economic cost and rate limits prevent cheap spam.Learn more
2

Wallet detection

Identity correlation links wallets controlled by the same actor.Learn more
3

Market integrity

Post-launch monitoring catches fake activity and refunds real traders.Learn more

Open access remains

Anyone can still launch a token.Burst does not gate creation behind manual approval.

Abuse gets expensive

Bundling supply, spamming launches, and faking charts all require significantly more resources and carry real risk of detection.

​
Practical effect

Sentinel keeps creation permissionless. But it prevents the most common abuse patterns: one user controlling supply through multiple wallets, bots flooding discovery with spam tokens, and fake charts trapping real traders. Legitimate creators get a cleaner venue. Traders get better signal density. And the platform avoids becoming a coordination game for insiders.
