Sentralis · Professional analytics for crypto holders

Institutional-grade
scenario intelligence
for self-directed crypto holders.

Sentralis helps individual crypto holders understand portfolio
behavior across assets, wallets, exchanges, liquidity conditions,
market factors, and hypothetical allocation changes. Non-custodial,
read-only, and built for analysis rather than trading.

For long-term, self-directed holders. Desktop-first. Non-custodial,
read-only, and educational.

What Sentralis helps you understand

A professional analytics layer for individual crypto portfolios.

How much could I lose realistically in a bad month given historical precedence?

If another FTX-like event occurs today, where would my portfolios bottom out, and how long until recovery?

If BTC dropped 30% next week, which positions would actually hold up, and which would amplify the move?

If positions had to be unwound this week, what share could actually exit without meaningful slippage?

If Binance returned only 25% of assets while an ETH bridge simultaneously recovered just 50%, what's the combined hit?

If correlations spiked to crisis-period levels, how much of the portfolio's diversification benefit would actually survive?

Product walkthrough

See the portfolio from multiple analytical angles.

From morning snapshot to deep stress test to wide-ranging what-ifs:
perspectives on your portfolios that a tracker or aggregator doesn't show.
Nine scenarios in the library today, more on the way. Live screenshots.

01Dashboard

One glance snapshot to know whether the market is calm, stressed, or cracking, and where your portfolios stand in that picture.

02Holdings with tags

Slice your holdings by exchange, chain, or strategy and let Sentralis do the deep analysis of your exposures.

03Risk metrics

Understand your risk profile, from every angle - with industry-strength metrics.

04Monte Carlo

See where your portfolio is likely headed and the full range of outcomes worth being ready for.

05Historical replay

Replay the market shocks to major historical events to see your portfolios' "what-if" response.

06Counterparty exposure

Risk Workbench

Run durable
risk investigations.

The Risk Workbench turns one-off questions into saved, revisitable
investigations. Each module combines Sentralis's deterministic risk
engines with bounded agentic analysis. You see the estimated cost
before you launch, and every run is stored with its full history.

Featured module

Event Decomposition

Describe an event in plain language and get a branch map of causally
distinct risk paths, each runnable against your own portfolio in a
single click. If an event has no material effect on your holdings,
the analysis says so.

“Iran conflict is resolved, Strait of Hormuz opens”“A top-3 exchange faces insolvency rumors while funding rates flip deeply negative”

Portfolio Teardown

A sectioned, evidence-traceable stress report of your portfolio.

Risk Time Machine

Replay today’s portfolio through historical market snapshots and see where its risk profile changed.

Risk Delta Autopsy

Decompose a risk change into market, composition, and interaction effects.

Marginal Risk Explorer

Measure how resizing individual positions moves each risk metric.

Pre-Mortem

Generate, quantify, and rank plausible failure mechanisms for your portfolio.

Alerts & reports

Analysis that keeps watching after you log off.

Turn your risk analysis or any saved scenario into a standing watch.
Alerts re-run it on a schedule and email you when a condition you set
becomes true: a VaR ceiling, a drawdown limit, a concentration
threshold. Scheduled reports deliver the full picture as PDF or JSON,
daily to monthly, with optional commentary.

Alert on core risk metrics

VaR, expected shortfall, drawdown, exit liquidity, concentration, across risk analysis and every scenario type.

Fires on threshold crossings

An alert fires when a condition first becomes true, then stays quiet until it clears and triggers again. Email delivery plus in-app history.

Reports on your cadence

Scheduled PDF or JSON reports with optional commentary; every analysis page also exports a report on demand. Higher tiers add daily cadence and more concurrent alerts and schedules.

Sentralis AI

Tunable AI analysis grounded in your portfolio context.

Sentralis AI reads your live holdings, risk metrics,
and scenario results before it answers, and adapts its depth,
language, and risk framing to match how you actually invest.

Ask questions from any page with on-screen data already in context.

Add basic or in-depth commentary to reports, from metric summaries to cross-metric structural analysis.

Adapts to your sophistication level, from beginner-friendly to expert.

Respects your risk tolerance (conservative, balanced, or aggressive) in every response.

Deep Thinking mode for complex, multi-step portfolio questions.

Your personal risk analyst inside every report: Sentralis AI writes its commentary from your numbers

Build on Sentralis

The same risk engines, over REST and MCP.

The analyses behind the app, callable from your own tools. The
Sentralis API exposes eight risk engines over plain HTTP: discover
engines, submit an analysis against a stored or ad-hoc portfolio,
and poll the result. An OpenAPI 3.1 contract and a hosted
quick-start cover the integration details.

REST API

Async submit-and-poll for portfolio analyses, including point-in-time runs on historical dates.

MCP

Connect Claude or any MCP-capable assistant directly to Sentralis: list engines, search assets, run analyses, and read results from your AI workflow. Running analyses over MCP is available on Pro and Premium plans.

Scoped API keys

Created in the app, read-only by default, revocable instantly, with per-key usage visibility.

```
# Create a key in the app: User → API Keys

curl -X POST https://app.sentralis.io/api/v1/analyses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"engine": "monte-carlo",
       "portfolio": {"ref": "…"},
       "config": {…}}'
# → 202 {"id": "…", "status": "queued"}

curl https://app.sentralis.io/api/v1/analyses/{id} \

Async submit-and-poll. Full reference and OpenAPI 3.1 contract ship

AI output is not financial advice and should never be considered as trading signals.

Is there a roadmap?

Yes. Sentralis is actively developed: new scenarios, workbench
modules, and integrations ship regularly.

Is there an API?

Yes. Sentralis exposes a REST API and an MCP endpoint with scoped,
read-only-by-default API keys, so your own tools and AI assistants
can run the same analyses as the app. See the Build on Sentralis
section above.

Can Sentralis watch my portfolio for me?

Yes. Risk alerts re-run your chosen analysis on a schedule and
email you when a threshold condition becomes true. Scheduled
reports deliver PDF or JSON summaries on a daily to monthly cadence.

Is Sentralis financial advice?
