## Assets

- [Sushi (SUSHI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sushi): SUSHI is the governance token of SushiSwap. It is used to vote on protocol proposals and can be staked in the SushiBar contract to receive xSUSHI, which entitles holders to a portion of protocol trading fees. Protocol fees from trades are used to buy back SUSHI on the open market, with purchased tokens distributed to the xSUSHI pool as a buyback mechanism that benefits stakers. (Governance)
- [SushiBar (xSUSHI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sushi): xSUSHI is a liquid staking token representing staked SUSHI in the SushiBar contract. It is used to earn a share of protocol trading fees, which are used to buy back SUSHI and distribute it proportionally to xSUSHI holders. The token is yield-bearing, meaning its value increases over time as it accumulates trading fees, making each xSUSHI token more valuable compared to SUSHI. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
