## Assets

- [Sharky (SHARK)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Sharky): SHARK is the governance token of the Sharky NFT lending protocol on Solana. It is used to vote on protocol upgrades, earn staking rewards, and incentivize liquidity providers. Holders can convert SHARK to FISHY tokens, which serve as the protocol's utility layer for accessing premium features and participating in the lending marketplace. (Governance)
- [FISHY by sharky.fi (FISHY)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Sharky): FISHY is the utility token of Sharky, an NFT lending platform on Solana. It is used to upgrade sharx NFTs to higher levels and can be earned through lending, borrowing, or holding sharx NFTs on the platform. Higher-level sharx generate more Sharky points, creating a feedback loop where FISHY enables users to increase their point accumulation and access greater platform rewards. (Utility)
- [sharx by Sharky.fi (SHARX)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Sharky): SHARX is the official NFT collection of the Sharky NFT lending platform on Solana. It is used to upgrade NFTs to higher levels using $FISHY tokens, which increases the Sharky points accumulated that can be converted to $SHARK governance tokens. Holders can upgrade their sharx through four levels—from Baby Shark to Whale Shark unlocking unique traits and access to raffles for defaulted NFTs, creating a gamified incentive system tied directly to platform participation.
