-**api-turnstile** is the official Node.js adapter for [Sentinel](https://sentinel.risksignal.name.ng). It provides transparent, high-performance protection for Express, Fastify, Next.js, and Hono APIs.

+> **Block bots, scripts, credential stuffing, and automation attacks — without rate limits or CAPTCHAs.**  
+> **API Turnstile is a Cloudflare Turnstile alternative built specifically for APIs.**
 
-Unlike traditional WAFs or Rate Limiters, Sentinel uses **infrastructure forensics** and **Behavioral Work Tokens (BWT)** to differentiate between legitimate users and automated scripts in real-time—without ever showing a CAPTCHA.
+## What Is API Turnstile?
 
-## 🚀 Key Features
+API Turnstile is an API bot protection and abuse prevention middleware for Node.js, Express, Next.js, Bun, and serverless environments.  
+It blocks automated attacks such as credential stuffing, fake account creation, payment fraud, and API scraping — without CAPTCHAs or browser JavaScript.
 
-- **⚡ Sub-50ms Latency**: Built on a globally distributed decision engine.
-- **🛡️ Adaptive Defenses**: Automatically escalates cryptographic challenges (BWT) for suspicious IPs.
-- **🔌 Multi-Framework**: First-class support for Node.js (Express/Fastify) and Edge Runtimes (Next.js/Bun).
-- **🕹️ CLI Intelligence**: Stream live traffic decisions directly to your terminal with `sentinel tail`.
-- **🎯 Outcome-Based**: Focuses on business results (e.g., bot reduction, capital saved) rather than just "block counts".
