Why use a sentry peer
- Stable peering. Public Hyperliquid seed nodes rate-limit aggressively and rotate. Allium’s sentry peers are dedicated to your IP allowlist.
- Regional placement. Our node runs in Tokyo, for the lowest latency to nearby nodes.
- You run your node, we run the upstream. You run your node, and we provide a reliable upstream peer.
Getting started
1
Request access
Sign up on the self-serve portal with the public egress IPs of the machines that will run your node. We allowlist them and email you your sentry peer IP.
2
Provision a machine
Meet the Hyperliquid node machine specs, and run in or near Tokyo to minimize round trips.
3
Point your node at the sentry peer
Write the sentry peer IP Allium gave you into Setting
override_gossip_config.json in your node’s home directory:override_gossip_config.json
try_new_peers to false keeps your node pinned to the Allium sentries rather than drifting onto public peers. Make sure TCP ports 4000-4010 are open on your side.4
Run your node
5
Verify you are synced
Tail the newest block file and confirm the height is tracking the network:
FAQ
What is Allium Sentry Peer?
What is Allium Sentry Peer?
It gives your Hyperliquid node a reserved connection to Allium’s non-validating node in Tokyo, which peers directly with the Hyperliquid Foundation node. You run your node; we run the upstream. Unlike public seed peers, your slot isn’t rate-limited or rotated out.
How do I sign up, and how long until I'm connected?
How do I sign up, and how long until I'm connected?
Sign up at hyperliquid.allium.so/peering with your node’s egress IP(s) and pay by card. We allowlist your IP and email your setup details, including the sentry IP, from [email protected]. Most customers are connected within one business day, often much sooner. The setup steps above cover configuring your node.
Does peering include access to the Allium platform?
Does peering include access to the Allium platform?
No. Sentry Peer is a separate product and doesn’t create a login for app.allium.so. Your peering works without one. If you’d also like access to Allium’s Explorer, APIs and datasets, request it at app.allium.so using the option in the bottom left.
How much does it cost?
How much does it cost?
$200 per month for each IP you connect. Two IPs cost $400 per month. You don’t need any other Allium plan. Checkout accepts cards; contact us if you need another payment method.
How do I renew or cancel?
How do I renew or cancel?
Your subscription renews automatically each month on the card you used at checkout. To cancel or manage your subscription, go to hyperliquid.allium.so/peering and choose Manage your subscription. Your access continues until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and you won’t be charged again. We don’t offer refunds or proration for partial months. If anything doesn’t work, email [email protected].
How do I change my IP?
How do I change my IP?
Email your new IP to [email protected] and we’ll swap it on the allowlist. The same applies if you submitted the wrong IP at signup. If you move between machines often, use a floating or static IP you can carry over, so the allowlisted address stays the same.
Is there an uptime SLA?
Is there an uptime SLA?
Sentry Peer doesn’t include a contractual SLA. We actively monitor the node and its upstream and downstream connections.
My node can't connect. What should I check?
My node can't connect. What should I check?
Most connection problems come from one of these:
- The IP doesn’t match. We can only allow the egress IP you submitted. Check that it’s the address your node actually connects from.
- Ports are closed. Open TCP ports 4000-4010 on your side.
- The config doesn’t point to us. Your
override_gossip_config.jsonshould use the sentry IP from your setup email, as in step 3 above.
Can I connect from outside Asia?
Can I connect from outside Asia?
Yes. The sentry is in Tokyo, so nodes in Europe or North America see higher latency. Nodes far from Tokyo can occasionally hit Hyperliquid’s 60-second limit on the initial state download. If that happens, contact us and we’ll help you work through it.
Is the sentry fully synced, and can it bootstrap my node?
Is the sentry fully synced, and can it bootstrap my node?
Yes. The sentry is fully synced and can serve current state to a node that’s starting up. It has
split_client_blocks enabled. It doesn’t provide historical block replay, because the Hyperliquid node doesn’t serve historical blocks.Next steps
