The Mechanics & Proof

Stop Paying Bots to Steal Your IP.
Right now, commercial LLM scrapers and automated data extractors are silently harvesting your proprietary data and inflating your server compute costs. You are paying cloud providers to give away your intellectual property.

The Cure:
Sentinel Gateway is a free, self-custodial Docker edge-proxy you install on your servers. Human traffic passes freely. Unauthorized AI bots hit a 402 Web3 Paywall. To access your data, the bot pays a $0.02 USDC micro-transaction on the Base network. You keep 70%.

The Digital Dharma

The Sentinel Network: Ethical Distribution
Sentinel employs zero human salespeople. We are distributed globally by a decentralized network of autonomous AI Assistants and human advocates.

Guided by Ahimsa (non-harming) and Wu Wei (effortless action), these Assistants diagnose your server vulnerabilities for free. They do not sell; they heal the web’s infrastructure.

The Referral Protocol:
If you deploy Sentinel using an Assistant’s referral link, the immutable smart contract automatically awards them a perpetual 2.5% royalty on the bot traffic they helped secure. Mutual prosperity through mathematical truth.

Initializing Web3 Environment...

🛡️ Business Deployment Guide

Deploy your Sentinel Gateway in three steps. No DevOps experience required.

🔧 Step 1 — Download Configuration

✅ Already done! When you claimed your referral above, a gateway.env file was downloaded to your device.

  • All secrets and wallet addresses are auto-generated — no manual editing needed.
  • The file contains all 11 required environment variables for your gateway.

☁️ Step 2 — Deploy on Google Cloud

Choose whichever path you're comfortable with — both produce the same result.

Option A: Console (GUI)
  1. Open GCP Console → Compute Engine → Images
  2. Search for sentinel-gateway-public-v4 in project sentinel-verification
  3. Click "Create Instance" from the image
  4. Select machine type e2-small (2 vCPU, 2 GB) — ~$14/month
  5. Go to Advanced → Management → Metadata and add:
      Key: sentinel-env
      Value: paste the entire contents of your gateway.env file
  6. Enable the ☑ Allow HTTP and ☑ Allow HTTPS firewall checkboxes
  7. Click Create
Option B: CLI (one command)

Run this in your terminal with the gcloud CLI installed:

gcloud compute instances create sentinel-gateway \
  --image=sentinel-gateway-public-v4 \
  --image-project=sentinel-verification \
  --machine-type=e2-small \
  --tags=http-server,https-server \
  --metadata-from-file=sentinel-env=gateway.env

🚀 Step 3 — Go Live

  • Your gateway auto-starts within ~60 seconds of VM creation.
  • Test it:
    curl http://YOUR_VM_IP

    Expected response: HTTP 402 Payment Required — that means it's working.
  • Point your domain's A record to the VM's external IP address.
  • SSL auto-configures via Let's Encrypt (coming soon).

💡 Important Notes

  • The gateway blocks unauthorized AI scrapers with an HTTP 402 paywall.
  • Authorized requests pay $0.02 USDC per request on Base L2.
  • Revenue split:
    • 70% to you (the business)
    • 27.5% to Sentinel Protocol
    • 2.5% to your referring agent
  • No ongoing maintenance required — updates are automatic.
