Unlock Schedule
Shentu (CTK) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
What CTK does
CTK has several connected jobs. It pays transaction fees on Shentu Chain, can be staked with validators, and gives stakers a role in governance votes. The project’s Security Oracle design uses CTK to pay for requested analysis and reward operators. ShentuShield, a system of community-funded reimbursement pools, also uses CTK in its collateral and claims design. These uses tie the token to both ordinary chain activity and the project’s security-focused services. (shentu.org)
The original allocation described by Binance Research was 29% for the first private sale, 9% for the second, 10% for the team, 25% for the foundation, 17.5% for the community pool, 8% for the ShentuShield pool, and 1.5% for Launchpool. These figures describe the initial distribution plan. CTK is also issued as staking rewards, so the original allocation alone does not describe the chain’s later token supply. (binance.com)
Staking rewards are shared between validators and the people who delegate to them, with the validator’s commission affecting the delegator’s share. When a holder undelegates CTK, the chain’s documented waiting period is 21 days; the tokens do not earn staking rewards during that period. This timing is part of how the network organizes participation in block production. (shentu-chain.gitbook.io)
Assumptions
Shentu reported an initial 100 million CTK divided among private sales, the team, the foundation, community and Shield pools, and Binance Launchpool; its PoS network continues to create rewards. Most original-allocation unlocks and the payments for several named programs lack verified individual dates or amounts. The issuance chart places the reported initial supply in October 2020 and estimates subsequent net growth between dated total-supply observations through October 1, 2026. Future PoS rewards remain open-ended, and without an independently verified current total or cumulative burn figure the chart cannot establish gross issuance.
