# About the Sentinel Program

Vigil's ambassador program — who Sentinels are and what they get.

**Every market move has someone who saw it first.**

The Sentinel Program is Vigil's ambassador program. We're looking for traders, researchers and creators who spot things early, and who are genuinely into what AI agents can do for traders.

Sentinels get early access, a direct line to the team, and a hand in shaping 24/7 trading. In return, they help more traders find Vigil through content and events.

**Applications are open.** See [How to Become a Sentinel](/vigil-docs/sentinel-program/how-to-become-a-sentinel.md).
{% endhint %}

## What Sentinels get

* **Early Beta access** ahead of the wider waitlist
* **An official Sentinel badge**, announced from Vigil's X account
* **Rewards for good calls** — your market insight counts, not just your reach
* **Referral earnings** — details in the [Sentinel Handbook](/vigil-docs/sentinel-program/sentinel-handbook.md)
* **Bonuses** for standout contributions
* **A priority channel** to the product team

## Why "Sentinel"

A sentinel is the one on watch while everyone else rests. It's the same job Vigil does for your trades. Sentinels are the people who keep watch for their community, and pass on what they see.

## Two tracks

You can apply to one or both.

### Track A — Content

Create and share content on X, Telegram, YouTube, TikTok and similar platforms. We look at reach and real sign-ups, with referral earnings on top.

**Good fit:** crypto or AI creators, trading influencers, educators.

### Track B — Events

Host meetups, workshops and live trading sessions that bring in active users. We support you with brand assets, event funding and speakers.

**Good fit:** community organizers, meetup hosts, campus groups, event producers.

## Where we're recruiting

The first group — the **First Watch** cohort — is recruited by language community, starting with English and Chinese.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://vigil-1.gitbook.io/vigil-docs/sentinel-program/about-the-sentinel-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
