## Assets

- [Mask Network (MASK)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Mask): MASK is the governance token of Mask Network. It is used for governance, payments, accessing premium features, and participating in the network's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Token holders can vote on ecosystem initiatives via a decentralized autonomous organization called MaskDAO, which governs protocol decisions by requiring holders to lock tokens for voting rights.
