GRASS: How to turn unused internet into passive income?

If you have a device that is often idle, you are losing real money. Grass Network allows you to monetize what you would anyway — your bandwidth. With the current token price of GRASS at around $0.30 (with 24-hour volatility -1.32%) and a flow of funds through the airdrop, the platform is attracting increasing attention. Let’s understand how it works and why you should get involved now.

The essence of Grass platform: decentralization versus monopolies

Large corporations have been using your bandwidth for years without compensation. Device usage terms often contain hidden clauses allowing companies to claim your traffic. Grass turns this system upside down — now you are the owner of your network resources and earn direct income from them.

The platform addresses two critical issues simultaneously:

1. Fair distribution: Instead of giving away traffic for free to big corporations, you earn (Grass Points), which are converted into GRASS tokens.

2. AI transparency: Collected data is used to train artificial intelligence models with known provenance, preventing fake or biased data from entering AI systems.

How does Grass Network work technically?

When you install the Grass browser extension or desktop app, your device becomes a node in a decentralized network. Here’s what happens next:

Data collection process:

• Your device uses inactive bandwidth to scan public web data
• All collected data is anonymized before processing
• Structured data is sent to a registry for use by companies and AI developers

Technology stack: Grass operates as a Layer 2 solution on top of Solana, ensuring high speed and low fees. To guarantee fairness, a ZK-prover (Zero-Knowledge) is used, which verifies and records metadata with each scan. This mechanism prevents data poisoning and ensures the quality of datasets for AI training.

Privacy protection:

• The network only collects public web data, never touching your personal browsing history
• Regular independent cybersecurity audits are conducted by external specialists
• The platform actively warns about phishing attacks and fake airdrop links

Step-by-step start on Grass Network

Getting started on the platform is very simple and takes no more than 15 minutes:

Step 1: Registration and extension download

• Register on the official Grass website using your email
• Set a password and find your referral code (they are shared on social media and among other users)
• Download the Grass browser extension or desktop version

Step 2: Launch the node

• After installing, click the Grass icon and connect to the network
• Now your internet works in the background to collect data
• Points start accumulating automatically

Step 3: Monitor earnings

• Check the dashboard where all earned points and referral bonuses are visible
• No constant activity needed — the app runs in the background

How to earn Grass Points and get rewards?

The Grass earning system is designed to reward different types of participation:

Main income: Points accumulate while the app is running. The longer your device stays on and connected, the more points you earn.

Referral program (cascading system):

• 20% of points from each direct invitee
• 10% from their invitees (second level)
• 5% from the third level

This structure incentivizes network growth — invite active friends, and your income grows exponentially.

Bonus epochs: Periodically, the platform launches special periods with increased point multipliers. During these times, you can earn significantly more with the same effort.

GRASS Airdrop: How to get tokens?

Grass Network announced the distribution of 100 million GRASS tokens (which is 10% of the total supply of 1 billion tokens). Here’s who will receive tokens and how much:

Recipient categories:

• Closed alpha participants: 1.5%
• Active participants in epochs 1-7: 7%
• Bonus epoch: 0.5% (for additional activity)
• Others (holders of GigaBuds NFT, Desktop Node operators): 1%

How to find out your share? The Grass website has a tool to check your airdrop rights. Enter your account, and the system will show how many GRASS tokens you are entitled to based on your accumulated points.

What do you need to do?

1. Make sure your account is active during the relevant epochs
2. Connect your Solana wallet to your Grass account (tokens will be sent to Solana)
3. Follow official channels for notifications about distribution dates

GRASS tokenomics: Where is the money?

Distribution of 1 billion tokens:

• Community (30%): Rewards for active users, referrals, airdrops
• Investors (25.2%): Early investors receive tokens to support liquidity
• Developers and partners (22%): Building the ecosystem
• Fund and development (22.8%): Long-term growth of the platform
• Future incentives (17%): Maintaining user interest over time
• Operator incentives (3%): Rewards for supporting routers

Emission schedule: Initially, only 10% is released into circulation via airdrop. The remaining tokens are gradually released, preventing sharp price drops and supporting market stability.

Why hold GRASS tokens?

The token is not just an asset, but a tool for network participation:

Governance: Holders vote on proposals, decide which updates to implement, choose partners. This is real voting power in the platform’s development.

Staking: Lock tokens and earn passive income from the network treasury. Effectively, the platform pays you for helping keep it secure and fair.

Minimal requirements for routers: If you want to run a specialized node (router) that improves network traffic, a minimal stake in GRASS is required.

• Invite friends, colleagues, family members — referral income can surpass direct earnings
• Catch bonus epochs for intensive referral registration
• Follow platform updates; new earning methods may appear

For investors:

• Track project development through official channels
• Prepare your Solana wallet in advance for the airdrop
• Study the development history of similar DePIN projects

Frequently Asked Questions

How safe is it to install the Grass extension? Very safe. The extension only collects public web data, never touches your personal files, passwords, or browsing history. The platform has undergone independent audits.

How much will my internet slow down? Minimal. Grass uses only unused bandwidth. If you actively work online, the app automatically reduces load.

When will the airdrop happen? Exact dates are not announced, but it is expected in the first half of 2025. Follow official channels.

Can I lose earned points? No, points are stored in your account. The main thing is to meet the (activity during the correct epochs) to participate in the airdrop.

Summary: Why is Grass Network needed in 2025?

Grass Network offers a rare opportunity to earn from something you already don’t use. Whether through the browser extension or desktop app, the mechanic is the same — your device works for you, generating points and potential tokens.

The project solves two real problems: unfair distribution of internet resources and lack of transparent data for AI. Investors see potential, confirmed by funding attracted and community growth.

You don’t need to be a specialist or invest large sums. Just install the extension, leave the app running in the background, and let the network do its work. As the platform develops, earning opportunities through referral programs, bonus epochs, and staking rewards will only expand.

Those who start now will have the advantage of early adopters — both in the form of larger Grass Point volumes before the airdrop and the chance to bring in a significant number of referrals before the network saturates.

Stay tuned to official announcements, check your eligibility for the airdrop, and prepare your Solana wallet. Decentralized internet economy is already here — the only question is whether you will participate.
