What Is Grass
Grass (GRASS) is a decentralized network that collects public web data by letting users share their unused internet bandwidth. It was built by the US-based developer Wynd Labs and runs on the Solana blockchain.
The GRASS token launched alongside its first airdrop in October 2024. The project is known as an attempt to turn AI training data collection into something individuals can take part in.
Data From Bandwidth
Participants run a node through a browser extension or desktop app and contribute spare bandwidth to the network. The network uses that bandwidth to collect and structure public web pages into datasets for AI developers and others.
To record where its data comes from, Grass has been building a Solana-based layer 2 design. In October 2026 it released a Contents API that converts web pages into formats AI systems can use.
Tokenomics and Ecosystem
GRASS has a reported total supply of 1 billion tokens, allocated across community rewards, investors, contributors and a foundation. The token is used for node rewards, staking and governance.
A second airdrop season was announced for 2026, and a Coinbase spot listing in August widened access to the token. The team says millions of nodes are active across roughly 190 countries.
Strengths and Risks
Its main appeal is that individuals can earn rewards from idle resources while linking directly to demand for AI data. The project has also published revenue figures from data sales, which shows a working business model.
However, web scraping raises ongoing questions about copyright, privacy and conflicts with site terms of service. Token unlock schedules for team and investors and price volatility are also worth noting, and this overview is not investment advice.
