What Shentu is
Shentu (CTK) is a Layer-1 blockchain network, currently ranked 458th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Shentu is its own settlement layer. Smart contracts run on top of it, fees are paid in CTK, and the security model rests on validators bonding the token rather than burning energy to mine it.
Shentu (CTK) is a blockchain platform designed to provide a secure and scalable environment for decentralized applications (dApps), utilizing a unique consensus mechanism and offering enhanced privacy features. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Staking ties the token's value to network security: more CTK bonded means a costlier attack, and stakers are paid for taking that role. Unstaking queues and slashing parameters shape how liquid that capital really is.
Background & fundamentals
Shentu first went live in 2020, giving it roughly 6 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Shentu operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Working product".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Binance Launchpool and Cybersecurity.
Where Shentu sits in the market
Trading around $0.1151, Shentu carries a market capitalization of $17.32M. Around $371.69K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 2.15% of the float — a healthy level of activity for an asset this size.
Shentu carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. CTK remains -97% beneath its all-time high of $4.04, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour -1.24%, 7-day -6.15%, 30-day -4.86%, 1-year -55.73%. Across roughly the last 365 days of daily candles, CTK endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 65% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Shentu in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual. Over the last 30 days the move totals -4.86%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate Shentu
For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of CTK staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Shentu over competing Layer-1s.
