Question 1

What is CTK?

Accepted Answer

CTK is the native utility token of Shentu Chain, used for payments, staking, governance, and incentives for security-related services within the platform. It does not represent equity in, or any claim on the revenue or profits of, Shentu Chain, entities related to its issuance, or their assets.

Question 2

What can CTK be used for?

Accepted Answer

CTK serves as a means of payment and settlement for interactions and services within the Shentu platform, such as the computing and verification resources required for network transactions and the security analysis requests contemplated in the design. CTK paid by users constitutes an economic incentive for participants providing resources or services; therefore, fees are not returns for holding tokens, but costs paid for resource consumption and participant incentives when using the network or services.

Question 3

What are the role and risks of staking CTK?

Accepted Answer

The Shentu whitepaper describes the chain's consensus as Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS). Holders may delegate CTK to validator nodes, allowing the validators' staking weight to participate in network consensus; when validators continuously fulfill validation duties, the reward mechanism is intended to compensate their resource input, while a delegator's actual outcome is also affected by the selected node and network rules. If a validator breaches rules or fails to fulfill its duties, the relevant stake may be subject to slashing, so staking is not a fixed or risk-free return.

Question 4

How does CTK participate in governance?

Accepted Answer

CTK governance rights are connected to staking: staked tokens may vote on proposals related to platform functions, and the amount staked affects voting weight. This mechanism determines rule choices at the protocol or platform level; it does not make CTK holders shareholders of a foundation, company, or their assets.

Question 5

What is the relationship between the Security Oracle and CTK?

Accepted Answer

The whitepaper describes the Shentu Security Oracle as a design that provides smart-contract security analysis in a form callable on-chain: users may request itemized security analyses of contracts, and participants providing analysis are incentivized with CTK or charge corresponding fees. The whitepaper expressly states that it is a draft for public community review and may change; accordingly, this describes the intended use of the mechanism and should not be used to infer that any particular analysis service is currently available or has a particular compensation effect.

Question 6

How are new CTK rewards generated?

Accepted Answer

CTK's reward mechanism is intended to economically incentivize validators and other participants actively providing platform services; merely holding CTK without participating does not automatically earn incentives. The whitepaper's economic model treats the relationship between the reward rate and the target staking ratio as a design feature: when actual staking participation differs from the target, incentive parameters may adjust accordingly, so rewards cannot be regarded as a fixed interest rate or guaranteed return.

Question 7

Does holding CTK mean holding equity in Shentu?

Accepted Answer

No. The whitepaper explicitly defines CTK as a platform utility token: holding it grants no shares, ownership, dividends, fees, revenue, profits, or promised investment returns in Shentu Chain, distributors, affiliates, or other enterprises. Its claimable use is to use the token to interact with the platform in accordance with protocol rules.
