## Assets

- [Bitkub Coin (KUB)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/bitkub): KUB is the native token of Bitkub Chain, an EVM-compatible layer-1 network. It is used to pay gas fees, stake for validator or delegator roles under the network's proof-of-stake consensus, and grant holders voting participation across the chain's ecosystem. A companion token standard called KAP, modeled on Ethereum's ERC standards, defines fungible and non-fungible assets issued on the chain. (Native)
- [Wrapped KUB (KKUB)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/bitkub): KKUB is a wrapped version of the KUB coin issued on Bitkub Chain, conforming to the chain's own KAP-20 token standard. It is created by depositing KUB into a smart contract that mints an equivalent amount of KKUB, and it is used to integrate KUB's value into decentralized finance applications and smart contracts that require a fungible token interface. Unwrapping burns KKUB and returns the underlying KUB, keeping the two forms interchangeable at a fixed one-to-one rate. (Wrapped Tokens)
