## Products

- [Genomes.io Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/genomes): Genomes.io Platform provides secure genomic data storage through encrypted DNA vaults, enabling whole genome sequencing, private data management, and controlled sharing with researchers. The system utilizes AMD SEV-ES encryption technology with blockchain-based access auditing for complete user control over genetic information. (Decentralized File Storage, Live, Main Product)

## Assets

- [GENOME (GENOME)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/genomes): GENOME is the utility and governance token of the Genomes.io platform. It is used by pharmaceutical companies and research organizations to query genomic data, with Genomes.io acting as a broker for these queries and allowing individuals to approve or deny access to their data. Stakers earn KIT tokens that can be redeemed for genome sequencing kits valued at $300, giving them access to genomics technology while supporting a decentralized ecosystem. (Utility)
