General Grass FAQ

What is Grass?

Grass is a network of millions of people who are earning rewards for sharing unused internet bandwidth with the Grass network.

Your participation in the Grass network represents your contribution to building a more equitable internet and provides you with the opportunity to own a part of the Grass network. Since everyone already pays for Internet, why not put your idle connection to work?

Why does Grass exist?

Grass exists to build a fairer internet where you can directly benefit from large corporations using your unused internet bandwidth.

Most of us skip reading Terms and Conditions, allowing companies to quietly access our devices' "unused network resources" for profit. With Grass, you're back in control—download the app, and get rewarded for sharing your unused bandwidth.

How does Grass work?

With just three clicks, Grass lets you take control of your internet and earn rewards by sharing your unused internet bandwidth with the network.

Grass allows verified institutions to use your bandwidth to support their online services, while your contributions are tracked as Grass Points. These points, along with factors like how your bandwidth is used and your location, help determine the Grass Tokens you may receive.

Grass makes the Internet a place where everyone benefits — companies and users alike. Rest assured, your personal data is not accessible to Grass or anyone else.

How is Grass used by verified institutions?

Verified institutions use Grass to reward you for sharing your unused bandwidth, which helps them improve products and services. This bandwidth may be used for tasks like checking local prices, viewing regional ads, or conducting academic research.

What are Grass Points?

Grass Points track your contributions to the Grass Network. They come in two forms:

• Uptime Points, earned for staying connected and bringing others into the network through referrals.

• Network Points, earned when your internet connection is actively used to handle traffic.

Together, Grass Points track your participation in and contributions to the Grass Network and are one of the factors used to calculate the Grass Tokens you may receive in future distributions. To learn more about Grass Points check out this blog.

What are Grass Tokens?

Grass Tokens are the rewards you earn for sharing your unused internet bandwidth with the Grass network. They reflect your participation and contribution to building the network, giving you a way to own a part of the infrastructure you help power.

By participating, you’re not just earning rewards, you’re playing an essential role in powering internet infrastructure. Your unused bandwidth supports live data access for real-world applications.

When and How are Grass Tokens Awarded?

Grass Tokens will be rewarded via airdrop at intervals that are determined by the Grass Foundation. The first airdrop of Grass Tokens occurred on October 28, 2024, during which 100,000,000 tokens were airdropped to more than 2,000,000* Grass users.

Users who were eligible to receive Grass Tokens in the initial airdrop and who did not participate as a result of not submitting their public wallet address before the airdrop deadline, will be given the opportunity to participate in future airdrops of Grass Tokens.

*Statistics accurate as of December 6th, 2024.

Who can receive Grass Tokens?

You may not currently be eligible to receive Grass Tokens if you live in a jurisdiction that is subject to sanctions or significant regulatory risk. A list of relevant jurisdictions that are not currently eligible is available here.

For users in the United States and Canada, the Grass Foundation will make payouts available soon.
