Grass is an artificial intelligence project on the blockchain Solana has introduced an AirDrop (reward in the company's tokens) that will take place in the coming months, tentatively in Q1-2 of 2024. In simple terms, early users earn points that can later be exchanged for the Grass token and sold. The project was supported by Binance and ByBit.
Here's what GetGrass itself says:
As an early adopter, you not only get rewarded for selling unused bandwidth, but you also get a stake in the future network that will be able to index the entire network. We aim to reward our early adopters by giving them a stake in the network that is set to become the source of truth for decentralized AI. Secure your place in this revolution today and be part of something that will change the online world.
The goal of Grass is to create a decentralized network for selling unused Internet to individuals around the world. Only companies included in the project's list of trustworthy companies will be able to buy traffic. Grass is developed by Wynd Network, which has been invested by major Solana investors, primarily Kyle Samani from the Multicoin fund.
Grass reminds Solana of the Helium (HNT) project, which, with a similar composition of investors, was promoted to an ICO of $5 billion. The Grass token will also be released on Solana. Its facilities are already using the decentralized AI protocol Bittensor and the TAO token (this is a project that made more than 20 Xs in 2023 and became one of the largest AI narrative projects by capitalization).
Wynd Network, the Grass team, announced the successful completion of a $3.5 million seed round led by Polychain Capital & Tribe Capital. The next round brings Wynd's total funding to $4.5 million.
Launched in June, Grass is a decentralized web scraping network with a focus on transforming publicly available web data into AI datasets. The network intends to mobilize millions of home Internet connections for use in cleaning and validating data from the Internet. This type of web data, collected in bulk, is integral to the development of AI models and the operations of many other industries.
According to its founders, web scraping can benefit greatly from a decentralized model.
As a decentralized oracle for AI, Grass will create datasets that can be traced back to their origin, allowing people to be fairly compensated for their contributions to the Internet. We have explored many ways to make public web data more accessible to open source AI projects and believe that decentralization is the only way to achieve this from both an ethical and economic perspective.

Additional funding for the round was provided by Bitscale, Big Brain, Advisors Anonymous, Typhon V, Mozaik, and others. The funding will be strategically used to improve Grass's technology infrastructure, expand its network of nodes, and improve its data verification process.

Questions and answers about the GetGrass project
What is Grass?
Everyone has an internet connection with a certain amount of bandwidth per month, but almost no one uses it all. Grass is a network to sell this bandwidth to corporations and institutions with a set of programs that do this in the background of your phone or computer. The end result is passive income from selling a resource you didn't even know you had.
What will I earn with Grass?
As an early adopter, you not only get rewarded for selling unused bandwidth, but you also get a stake in the future network that can index the entire network. Grass aims to reward early adopters by giving them a stake in the network, which should become a source of information for decentralized AI.
Who buys the bandwidth Grass sells?
Internet bandwidth is needed by commercial enterprises in a huge number of industries, but increasingly, the answer is artificial intelligence labs.
How is Grass used by AI Labs?
Training an AI model requires a lot of web data that labs can only access on the public network. Grass helps them do this in two ways: first, it allows AI labs to directly scrape the web for web data to train their AI models, and second, it can also directly supply them with datasets. These datasets are curated by Grass using its own network of nodes that are dedicated to web crawling. This versatility makes Grass a valuable tool for artificial intelligence labs both in finding raw data and providing structured, ready-to-use datasets for AI development.
How can I protect my personal data when using Grass?
When you use the program, your personal data is not accessed or used by Grass or Wynd Network. The Grass browser extension does not have access to any data on your computer. You can use Grass with confidence knowing that your personal data is safe.
When I add the Grass web extension, it says: "Read and modify all your data on websites you visit", why?
This is a standard resolution for many Chrome plugins and in no way implies that Grass has access to any of your personal information. All it means is that you gave us your email address when you signed up.
What is Wynd Labs?
Wynd Labs is the parent company that funds Grass and thoroughly vets buyers interested in purchasing bandwidth on the network.
Are there any restrictions when using Grass?
If two or more accounts are on the same Wi-Fi network, the daily uptime revenue will be split between the two accounts.
How do I get my rewards?
During the beta testing phase, you will earn Grass points. At the end of the beta, they will be retroactively converted to network tokens.
What is internet bandwidth?
Bandwidth defines the ability of your internet connection to transfer information. Imagine bandwidth as a pipe with water flowing through it, the diameter of the pipe represents the bandwidth of the connection - the wider the pipe, the more water it can carry at once and the faster it can flow. Grass allows you to monetize bandwidth that is not being used. If you're paying for unlimited home or business Wi-Fi, it's very likely that you have idle bandwidth, and Grass makes it easy to sell it to generate passive income.
Who is using my unused internet bandwidth?
Grass will allow you to sell your unused internet bandwidth to companies that are carefully vetted by Wynd Network. These companies will include Fortune 500 foundations as well as institutions such as colleges and universities.
Why do shoppers want my unused internet bandwidth?
Shoppers seek out unused internet bandwidth to access a more diverse range of IP addresses, allowing them to browse specific websites from a retail perspective. Using your unused internet bandwidth, they can conduct market research or perform tasks such as web scraping for AI training. This allows customers to access services they otherwise wouldn't be able to, all while you earn passive income.
Can I download Grass to multiple devices?
While you can download Grass on multiple devices, as long as they are all connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you will receive a 24 hour uptime split between all accounts on the network.
Can I create multiple accounts to earn more?
Each user is allowed only one account. You can add more than one device to your account - for example, if you have a computer and a mobile device - but you risk being blocked if you try to play the referral program by sending yourself under multiple accounts.
What is the Grass epoch system?
Epochs are different periods of time during which you can accumulate points, which can be seen in the picture on your dashboard. Our Epoch system visualizes your monthly point earnings. The dashboard will show you how much you earned each month.
How does the referral system work?
Direct referrals: When you join Grass, you will receive a unique referral link. Share this link with others. If someone uses your link to download and use Grass, you get a bonus. You will receive 20% of the Grass Points they accumulate continuously. This means that the more active they are, the more points you get.
The second level of referrals: If your direct referral successfully invites another user, you earn an additional 10% of the Uptime Points that this secondary referral accumulates. This bonus continues, increasing your earnings for as long as they remain active with Grass.
Third level of referrals The system expands further. If a secondary referral from your network refers someone else, you receive an additional 5% of the uptime points earned by that referral.
Referral bonuses: When you join Grass through an invitation, you earn 5000 bonus points, provided you reach 100 hours of uptime.When you refer someone to Grass, you get 2,500 bonus points if your referral reaches 100 hours of uptime.
Thus, the more active users you invite, the greater the reward. It's a comprehensive system that recognizes and rewards your efforts to grow the Grass community.
