Sentry AI

Understand how our AI agent monitors and executes delta-neutral basis trades.

What is Sentry?

Sentry is CrimsonArb's proprietary AI agent that continuously monitors funding rates across Drift Protocol markets. It identifies arbitrage opportunities and executes delta-neutral basis trades to capture yield while maintaining market neutrality.

Decision Matrix

Sentry evaluates trades using a multi-factor decision matrix:

  • Funding Yield Intensity - Current funding rate APY potential
  • Liquidity Depth - Available market depth to execute without slippage
  • Predicted Decay - Expected duration of favorable funding conditions
  • Risk Assessment - Liquidation proximity and market volatility

Trade Types

OPEN_BASIS

Opens a new delta-neutral position when funding rates are favorable.

CLOSE_BASIS

Closes an existing position when funding rates normalize.

FUNDING_CAPTURE

Short-term position to capture a specific funding payment window.

REBALANCE

Adjusts position sizes to maintain delta neutrality.

LIQUIDATION_GUARD

Emergency action to prevent liquidation during extreme volatility.

Human-in-the-Loop

By default, Sentry operates in advisory mode where all trades require your approval. You can enable "Sentry Shield" to allow autonomous execution within your configured risk parameters.
