## Assets

- [Step (STEP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Step_Finance): STEP is the governance token of Step Finance, a portfolio management and analytics platform on Solana. It is used to vote on protocol decisions and can be staked to receive xSTEP, which distributes protocol revenue to holders. The platform operates a Solana validator node and uses the earnings to buy back STEP tokens from the open market, creating deflationary pressure that benefits token holders. (Governance)
- [Staked Step (xSTEP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Step_Finance): xSTEP is a liquid staking token representing staked STEP in the Step Finance protocol. It is used to earn yield from protocol revenue generated across Step's product suite, and can be traded, transferred, or used in other DeFi protocols on Solana. The token has an exchange rate that grows as fee revenue is deposited into the vault, allowing holders to redeem more STEP than originally staked when they unstake and burn their xSTEP. (Utility)
