What is Shentu?
Shentu, formerly known as CertiK Chain, is a security-first Layer 1 blockchain designed to protect decentralized applications and smart contracts through on-chain, real-time risk management tools. By combining static and dynamic code analysis, decentralized audits, and security oracles, Shentu provides developers, users, and enterprises with provable trust in the Web3 ecosystem.
Its mission is to create a safer blockchain world by making smart contract vulnerabilities transparent, predictable, and preventable.
Security-Focused Infrastructure
Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Shentu is engineered from the ground up to support secure dApp development. Its native modules and features include:
Security Oracle: Offers real-time security scores for smart contracts based on static and runtime behavior.
ShentuShield: A decentralized insurance module where users can protect their assets against exploits.
DeepWallet: A multi-functional, non-custodial wallet with integrated risk alerts.
These tools turn Shentu into a robust operating environment for developers and protocols looking to launch secure and trustworthy decentralized products.
The CTK Token
CTK is the native utility and governance token of the Shentu blockchain. It powers various aspects of the ecosystem:
Staking: CTK secures the network via delegated proof-of-stake, with validators and delegators earning staking rewards.
Governance: CTK holders can vote on chain upgrades, protocol parameters, and security module configurations.
Security Services: CTK is used to pay for oracle services, purchase insurance coverage, and participate in risk audits.
This multi-dimensional utility ensures that CTK remains integral to both the network’s security and its economic structure.
Cosmos SDK and Interoperability
Shentu is built on the Cosmos SDK and uses a pBFT-based consensus algorithm, enabling high throughput and fast finality. It’s IBC-compatible, meaning it can communicate with other Cosmos chains, and it supports interoperability with Ethereum via bridges.
This makes Shentu a flexible, cross-chain security layer for developers building on various ecosystems.
Use Cases and Integrations
Shentu is especially valuable for:
DeFi protocols that require transparent risk scores and security coverage
NFT and gaming apps needing real-time protection from exploits
Institutional Web3 adoption, where provable security is a core requirement
The platform also runs the OpenBounty program, a decentralized marketplace for smart contract audits where white-hat hackers are incentivized to find bugs and get rewarded.
Why Stake CTK?
Staking CTK supports the infrastructure that underpins Web3 security. It helps secure the chain, provides a share in network rewards, and gives governance rights to influence future upgrades. For participants who value trust, transparency, and resilience in blockchain systems, staking CTK is a way to back the world’s first fully security-centric L1.
