Native Token

c8ntinuum’s native token is CTM. It uses 18-decimal precision to match Ethereum’s denomination: 
1 CTM = 10^18 ctm (base denom)
FieldValue
Official namec8ntinuum
SymbolCTM
Base denomctm
Decimals18
This mirrors Ethereum’s: 
1 ETH = 10^18 wei

​
Token Types

c8ntinuum supports two categories of assets:

​
Cosmos Coins

Tokens managed by the Cosmos SDK x/bank module. Used for staking, IBC transfers, governance deposits, and gas fees.

​
EVM Tokens

Standard Ethereum token contracts:
  • ERC-20: Fungible tokens
  • ERC-721: Non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
  • ERC-1155: Multi-token standard
All Ethereum token standards work identically on c8ntinuum.

​
Wrapped Native Token (WETH9)

c8ntinuum ships with a canonical wrapped native token (WETH9-equivalent) pre-deployed at: 
0xc8Fb80fCc03f699C70ff0CC08C09106288888888
This provides an ERC-20 interface for CTM, enabling use in DeFi protocols that require ERC-20 tokens.

​
Native-to-ERC20 Surfaces

c8ntinuum has two related but distinct surfaces:
SurfaceAddress modelUse
WETH9Fixed pre-deployed contractStandard wrapped CTM for most DeFi integrations.
ERC20/WERC20 extensionsDynamic registered token-pair addressesCosmos-native token pairs exposed through ERC-20-compatible methods.
The ERC20 extension and WERC20 extension depend on registered token-pair addresses. Do not treat the fixed WETH9 address as the address for every WERC20 token-pair surface.

​
Token Decimals in Precompiles

Cosmos module precompiles use the chain’s native decimal precision. c8ntinuum’s base denom is ctm with exponent 18; check each precompile’s expected amount format before interacting with it.
