In a rapidly expanding Web3 universe, where new projects emerge daily and cross-chain interactions become standard, security is no longer a luxury—it’s an absolute necessity. This is where Shentu (formerly CertiK Chain) emerges as a critical player in the Cosmos ecosystem.
📉 A Web3 Shaken by Exploits: Shentu as a Response
From high-profile collapses (FTX, Celsius) to major hacks (Ronin, Wormhole, Mango), loss of trust in Web3 security has become a barrier to mass adoption.
Shentu offers a systemic response to these vulnerabilities. By combining formal audits, decentralized insurance mechanisms, and cross-chain compatibility, it aims to restore confidence among developers and users alike.
🔍 A Unique Focus on Security
Shentu is a blockchain built specifically for Web3 security, focusing on smart contracts, infrastructure, and cross-chain protocols. Built with the Cosmos SDK and powered by Tendermint, it’s fully IBC-compatible, making it interoperable with dozens of chains in the Cosmos ecosystem.
Key features include:
- 🔐 Security Oracle: an on-chain oracle delivering automated security ratings for smart contracts.
- 🧰 ShentuShield: a decentralized insurance mechanism to protect against loss due to exploits.
- 🛠️ DeepSEA: a formal programming language that allows mathematically verifiable smart contract behavior.
🧪 Real-World Use Cases for Web3 Protection
Shentu is not just theoretical. Its Security Oracle is already used by DeFi, NFT, and GameFi projects to assess smart contract security pre-deployment or to display security scores to users.
Similarly, ShentuShield has already been deployed to offer decentralized protection for protocols, demonstrating how community-driven insurance can be both automated and trustworthy.
🧬 DeepSEA: Mathematical Rigor for Smart Contracts
Shentu’s native language, DeepSEA, goes beyond Solidity or Rust by enabling formal verification, a method used in aerospace and critical software systems.
With DeepSEA, Shentu introduces scientific-level rigor to smart contract development, making it a security leader in the Cosmos space.
🌐 Shentu and Cosmos: A Cross-Chain Security Hub
Thanks to IBC, Shentu can connect with and secure other Cosmos chains by providing oracle services, insurance layers, and trusted evaluations.
In this way, Shentu acts as a “decentralized firewall” for the Cosmos ecosystem, essential for the rise of economic zones, liquid staking, and interchain dApps.
✅ A Snow-Fall.io Validator Is Active on Shentu
We’re proud to actively contribute to securing this network through our own validator node.
By delegating to Snow-Fall.io on Shentu, you support an independent, non-custodial infrastructure that’s fully aligned with the values of a safer, modular, and more transparent Web3.
