## Assets

- [Belong (LONG)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/belong): LONG is the utility token of the Belong protocol. It is used for paying platform fees, settling venue rewards, and enabling staking to reduce transaction costs and share in platform revenue. Programmatic fee-based token sinks reduce circulating supply, creating deflationary pressure as platform usage increases to align token value with network activity. (Utility)
