This guide explains how to get started with Grass, how the points system works, and how to maximize your rewards using the latest apps and features.

What is Grass?

Grass is a network that rewards users for sharing unused internet bandwidth with verified institutions for public web data collection and AI infrastructure.

You earn Grass Points for contributing bandwidth and staying connected to the network.

Points are currently divided into:

• Uptime Points
• Network Points

Network Points were introduced more recently and are based on actual bandwidth contribution and network demand.

Points are not the same as tokens.

Step 1: Create Your Grass Account

Sign up on the official Grass website using your email.

New users receive a 10,000 Grass Points bonus after signing up.

Step 2: Choose Your Earning Method

Android App

The Android app is one of the easiest ways to maintain consistent uptime.

It allows you to earn directly from your phone while running quietly in the background.

The Android app currently earns up to 3x Grass Points compared to the standard browser extension.

Desktop App

The Desktop App is ideal for stable uptime and long-term passive earning.

It continues running even when your browser is closed.

The Desktop App currently earns up to 2x Grass Points compared to the standard browser extension.

Chrome Extension

Step 3: Connect and Start Earning

After installation:

1. Open the app or extension
2. Log into your account
3. Click Connect
4. Open your dashboard to track your points

Your Grass Points will begin accumulating automatically.

Understanding Grass Points

Grass now uses two types of points:

Uptime Points

Earned for:

• staying connected
• maintaining uptime
• referrals
• milestone bonuses

Network Points

Earned based on:

• bandwidth contribution
• network demand
• connection quality
• node reputation and consistency

A fixed pool of Network Points is distributed daily across active users.

Because of this, Network Point earnings may fluctuate from day to day.

• Note: Network Points are demand-based, so not every user may receive them consistently.

Referral System

Grass has a multi-level referral system.

You earn:

• 20% from direct referrals
• 10% from second-level referrals
• 5% from third-level referrals

Referral bonuses do not reduce your referrals’ earnings.

To access your referral link:

• Open your Grass dashboard
• Go to the Referral section
• Copy and share your link

How to Maximize Your Grass Points

Use Multiple Devices

You can run Grass on:

• your PC
• your Android phone
• other personal devices on separate internet connections

Many users run Grass across separate personal devices and networks for additional uptime opportunities.

Example:

• Home WiFi on Desktop
• Mobile data on Android

Keep Devices Available When Possible

Keeping the app running in the background while you use your device helps ensure more consistent point accumulation over time.

Use Both Desktop and Mobile

Many users run:

• Desktop App for stable uptime
• Android App for additional point generation

Focus on Active Referrals

Active referrals who stay connected consistently are significantly more valuable than inactive signups.

Delayed Point Updates

Grass dashboard updates are not always instant.

Network Points and uptime statistics may sometimes take time to appear or update correctly.

Important Notes

• Points are not guaranteed to convert into rewards
• Points are not tokens
• Earnings fluctuate depending on network demand and bandwidth quality
• Grass allows only one account per user
• VPNs and suspicious activity may affect eligibility
• Rewards are subject to verification and network rules

Privacy and Security

Grass states that it:

• does not access browsing history
• does not access files or passwords
• only uses unused bandwidth
• allows users to pause sharing at any time

Grass traffic is separated from personal internet activity.
