Mento Kenyan Shilling KESM

What KESM actually is on-chain

Mento Kenyan Shilling is a contract-issued token at address 0x456a3d042c0dbd3db53d5489e98dfb038553b0d0, recorded on explorer.celo.org. We do not have a verified chain label for that explorer in our dataset, so we will not name the network here — check explorer.celo.org directly and confirm the address matches before interacting with it.

For KESM the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @MentoLabs. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where KESM sits in the market

Mento Kenyan Shilling ranks #5355, in the middle of the long tail, where listing status changes more often than price does, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live KESM order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted.

KESM against its all-time high

Mento Kenyan Shilling's record high is $0.00874692, set on 2024-09-25. At sub-cent levels a single tick is a large percentage move, so any alert on KESM should be expressed in percent rather than in an absolute price step. It was set roughly 2 years ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live KESM price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

KESM across its historical range

The recorded range is comparatively narrow: 2.40x between $0.0036511 and $0.00874692. Either the price history is short, or the asset is designed not to move.

The record low of $0.0036511 was printed on 2025-10-10 — about a year ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

KESM supply and valuation data

At #5355 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for KESM at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $146 thousand as of 2026-05-12. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one explorer.celo.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset KESM is

Mento Kenyan Shilling is pegged to the US dollar, so the only price question that matters is whether the peg holds; trend and momentum readings on a dollar peg describe noise, not direction. Our dataset does not record which backing model this token uses, which is itself worth resolving before holding it: reserve-backed, collateral-backed and algorithmic pegs fail in very different ways and on very different timescales. It is small for a stablecoin, and at this size the peg depends heavily on one or two liquidity pools; thin-book depegs here say more about liquidity than about solvency.
