Shentu (CTK): What It Is, Uses and Risks

CTK is the ticker for Shentu, which the project describes as a cross-chain protocol with security scoring and decentralised reimbursements for building secure dApps. Descriptions in the research set do not fully agree. Some present Shentu as a delegated proof-of-stake blockchain focused on security for applications such as DeFi and NFTs. One search result calls CTK the base currency of a network called Cybertime. Because these accounts differ, readers should treat the project's own documentation as the primary source and check it before relying on any single summary. Market data lists CTK as issued on Osmosis, and category tags include Osmosis Ecosystem and Cybersecurity. Category labels alone do not confirm how the token is used on any given network.

Sources in the research set describe several roles for CTK. One says it pays gas for smart contract activity on the Shentu chain. Another lists staking, transaction fees, secure oracle services and protocol governance. A third says it is used to trade, store value and take part in the network. These uses are publicly described, but they come from third-party pages and were not checked against the project's live documentation for this page. At least one listing page promotes staking with a headline yield of 27.50% APY. Yield figures like this change over time and depend on conditions the page may not explain, so they are not a guaranteed return. Anyone considering staking should first read the protocol's own terms and accept that staked tokens can lose value.

At the time of writing, as of 2026-11-05, the data set puts CTK at about $0.088 per token, with a market capitalisation of roughly $14.6 million. The token ranked 1,011th by market capitalisation, and 24-hour trading volume was about $353,000. Circulating supply was about 165.9 million, close to the total supply of about 165.9 million. No maximum supply is listed. Over the past seven days the price moved by about minus 0.8 percent, and over one year it fell about 66.6 percent. The all-time high was about $3.94 on 2021-04-06. The all-time low was about $0.0845 on 2026-10-30, the most recent date in the data. These figures change constantly and are a snapshot only. They are not a forecast, and nothing here is a suggestion to buy or sell.

The data lists Osmosis as the chain where CTK is issued, while the native token-of-chain field is empty. No launch date is given in the data set. Category tags mention Binance Launchpool, Coinbase Ventures, OKX Ventures and YZi Labs, which was formerly Binance Labs. A tag shows only that a fund or programme is associated with the project in some form. It does not show the size of any investment or the quality of the project. The consensus mechanism is listed as delegated proof-of-stake. Readers who want to confirm which networks the token runs on should check the official project documentation and the block explorers for the networks named there.

CTK has fallen sharply from its 2021 high, and the data shows a record low set in late October 2026. Its market value is small compared with many large tokens, and thin trading can make prices move quickly. The conflicting descriptions across sources are a warning sign in themselves, so verify details before trusting them. The project describes itself as a cross-chain protocol, and smart contracts, bridges and cross-chain tools carry technical and security risks. Holders should keep tokens in a wallet they control, store the recovery phrase offline and never share it. Be wary of anyone promising guaranteed returns or pressing you to connect a wallet quickly. Tokens can lose most or all of their value.
