View ChartGrass is a decentralized network that allows users to monetize their unused internet bandwidth by contributing it to AI training data collection. It is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) project built on Solana that rewards users for sharing their spare internet bandwidth.
The network functions as a data layer for AI, selling contributed bandwidth and IP addresses to companies for web scraping and AI model training. Users install a lightweight application that runs in the background, securely routing a small portion of their bandwidth through the Grass network. The native GRASS token, built on the Solana blockchain, is used to reward participants and govern the decentralized network. By contributing resources, users help build a decentralized alternative to centralized data providers, potentially sharing in the revenue generated.

The Grass network was developed by Wynd Network, a company focused on building decentralized infrastructure for AI. The core team includes experts in networking, blockchain technology, and machine learning. The project operates with a strong emphasis on community governance, intending for the GRASS token holders to guide its future development through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure. The founders recognized the growing, centralized control over data used for AI training and sought to create a permissionless, user-owned alternative where individuals could directly benefit from contributing their resources.
Grass operates through a simple user application and a sophisticated backend network. Users download and install a lightweight application on their devices. Once running, the app securely routes a small, configurable portion of their unused internet bandwidth through the Grass network. This bandwidth is aggregated with contributions from other users worldwide to form a decentralized pool of residential IP addresses. Companies and researchers purchase access to this network to perform large-scale web scraping and data collection for AI training, tasks that require diverse, non-blocked IP addresses to avoid detection and bans from websites. The revenue generated from selling this network access is used to buy back GRASS tokens from the open market, which are then distributed as rewards to the users who contributed the bandwidth, creating a direct link between resource contribution and token earnings.
Grass's primary innovation is its practical application of the DePIN model to a critical and valuable resource: data for AI. Unlike many crypto projects, it provides a tangible service with clear demand from the multi-billion dollar AI industry. Its unique value propositions include:
The GRASS token has two primary functions within the ecosystem. First and foremost, it is a reward token. Users earn GRASS tokens proportionally based on the amount of bandwidth they contribute to the network over time. Secondly, GRASS is designed as a governance token. Holders will be able to participate in the decentralized governance of the Wynd DAO, voting on proposals that affect the network's parameters, treasury management, and future development roadmap. This grants the community direct control over the project's direction.
The Grass ecosystem is centered on expanding its user base and network utility. Development is focused on several key areas:
Grass is not mined in the traditional proof-of-work sense. Instead, users "earn" or "farm" GRASS tokens by contributing resources to the network—a process often called "contributing" or "providing bandwidth." There is no competitive mining hardware involved. The only requirement is to download the official Grass application from their website, create an account, and leave the application running. Your earnings are calculated based on the duration and quality of your bandwidth contribution. It's a passive, accessible form of participation designed for broad adoption.
Since GRASS is a Solana SPL token, security best practices for the Solana ecosystem apply. The safest method is to store your GRASS tokens in a non-custodial software wallet where you control the private keys, such as Phantom or Solflare. For larger holdings, consider using a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor that supports Solana assets. Always ensure you download wallets from official sources, never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone, and be wary of phishing websites and fake applications pretending to be Grass or wallet services. When not actively trading or using the tokens for governance, keeping them in your personal wallet is more secure than leaving them on an exchange.
GRASS is a cryptocurrency that can be traded on several exchanges. For a seamless experience with high liquidity, consider using a major platform like BTCC.

TradeGrass (GRASS) rewards users through a DePIN model on Solana: participants run nodes, the Grass miner bot, or the earn app to share unused internet bandwidth, and verified institutions pay for that bandwidth with GRASS. Routers route traffic and Validators verify contributions, so rewards scale with uptime and bandwidth quality. Because the network only scrapes public data, contributors earn without exposing personal information.
Supply is capped at ∞, but unlocks still matter. A large unlock of roughly 181M GRASS occurred on October 28, 2025, and further inflation has been speculated for later periods. When new tokens enter circulation faster than demand grows, sell pressure can weigh on price; when AI data demand and node growth absorb that supply, the effect is milder. Tracking unlock schedules alongside staking-style lock-ups and exchange reserves is essential for GRASS holders.
Grass (GRASS) runs as a Layer 2 Data Rollup: data is processed off-chain while final validation is secured on Solana. This design keeps crawl costs low and throughput high, which matters because the network already supports over 3 million node users scraping petabytes of data for AI models. Upgrades to Validators, Routers, and Nodes, plus hardware like the Grasshopper device, improve routing efficiency and data quality.
For GRASS, the value link is demand-driven rather than fee-burn driven. As the ecosystem expands into more AI datasets, DeFi integrations, and DApp usage, more institutions need GRASS to pay for bandwidth and data access. That rising utility can support price, while Solana's low fees and growing ecosystem add liquidity and credibility. The main risk is that token unlocks outpace real usage growth, so ecosystem metrics such as active nodes and dataset demand are the key indicators to watch.
A spot ETF would hold actual Grass (GRASS) tokens and issue shares that trade on traditional exchanges, giving brokers, pension funds, and registered investment advisors a regulated way to gain exposure without managing wallets. For GRASS, the main effects would be structural: sustained inflows would remove tokens from the open market, deepen order books, and raise liquidity across both spot and derivatives venues.
Institutional adoption also improves legitimacy. Grass is already transitioning from a speculative DePIN project toward verified institutional backing and top-tier exchange credibility, and an ETF-style product would accelerate that shift. A higher, more stable price floor often follows when large holders treat an asset as a long-term allocation rather than a trade. The caveats are regulatory approval timelines and the risk that inflows stall, which can leave the market over-positioned and vulnerable to sharp corrections.
Both Grass (GRASS) and Helium (HNT) are DePIN projects that reward users for contributing physical resources, but they target different markets. Grass focuses on unused internet bandwidth and web-scale data for AI, while Helium focuses on wireless coverage and IoT connectivity. The table below summarizes the key differences.
| Dimension | Grass (GRASS) | Helium (HNT) |
|---|---|---|
| Core Positioning | Open internet-scale web crawl for AI data | Decentralized wireless and IoT network |
| Supply Model | Fixed 1B max supply, scheduled unlocks | Emission-based with halting schedule |
| Consensus | Solana L2 data rollup, off-chain processing | Own L1 with Proof-of-Coverage |
| Main Use Cases | AI training datasets, bandwidth sharing | Hotspots, IoT devices, mobile coverage |
In short, GRASS is an AI-data play with a fixed supply, while HNT is a connectivity play with ongoing emissions. Investors choosing between them are effectively choosing between AI data demand and wireless infrastructure demand.
On BTCC, you can attach stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) orders directly to a GRASS/USDT perpetual contract position, so the exchange closes it automatically when your target is hit. Use the structure of the chart rather than round numbers.
Always size the position so the distance to your SL matches your risk limit, and avoid placing stops exactly at obvious levels where price often sweeps liquidity.
The current price of Grass (GRASS) is $0.445813, with a market cap of $101.047765M and 24h trading volume of $49.915455M. The circulating supply is 243.91M (max supply ∞).
Because crypto markets move around the clock, these figures update continuously. For the most accurate live data, open the GRASS/USDT perpetual contract page on BTCC, where you can view the real-time order book, recent trades, funding rate, and open interest. Comparing the order book depth with the 24h volume also helps you judge whether current price action is supported by genuine liquidity or driven by short-term speculation.
Grass (GRASS) is influenced by three layers of factors that traders should track together.
In practice, price often reacts first to macro sentiment and unlocks, then confirms with ecosystem data.
The all-time high of Grass (GRASS) is $3.900825, reached on 2024-11-08 12:20; the all-time low is $0.166289, recorded on 2026-02-23 01:30.
These two reference points frame the full volatility profile of GRASS. The distance from the all-time high shows how deep past drawdowns have been, while the distance from the all-time low shows how far the token has recovered from its weakest moment. Traders often use both levels to judge whether current price is in an accumulation, expansion, or distribution phase.
You can inspect the full-cycle chart on BTCC by opening the GRASS/USDT perpetual contract page and switching the timeframe to daily or weekly. Overlaying volume and moving averages on that chart helps you see how price behaved around each extreme and where similar reactions might occur again.
Reading a GRASS/USDT candlestick chart starts with the anatomy of each candle. The body spans the open and close, while the thin wicks show the high and low of that period. A long body means strong conviction in one direction; a long wick means price was rejected at that level.
Combine these tools rather than relying on any single one.
You can profit from falling Grass (GRASS) prices without ever holding the spot token by shorting GRASS/USDT perpetual contracts on BTCC. The logic is simple: open a short position at a higher price, then close it (buy back) at a lower price. The difference between your entry and exit, minus fees and funding, is your profit.
This gives traders a two-way opportunity. In a bear market or during a sharp pullback, a short position can offset losses elsewhere in a portfolio or become a standalone strategy. Because perpetual contracts never expire, you can hold the position as long as your margin allows, but funding rates and liquidation risk mean leverage must be managed carefully.
Always define your invalidation level before entering: if price breaks above a key resistance, the short thesis is wrong and the stop-loss should trigger. Pair every short with a take-profit near a known support zone to lock in gains systematically.
Yes. BTCC offers flexible leverage on GRASS/USDT perpetual contracts, up to 50x, subject to the platform's risk rules and margin requirements. Higher leverage means you can control a larger position with less capital, but it magnifies both gains and losses in the same proportion.
At 50x, a small adverse move can trigger liquidation, so leverage should match your experience and risk tolerance. Beginners are strongly advised to start in the 2x to 10x range and always attach a strict stop-loss to every position. Using isolated margin can also limit losses to the funds allocated to that specific trade.
Before scaling up, practice on BTCC's demo account with virtual funds to understand how leverage, margin ratio, and liquidation price interact in real GRASS market conditions. Consistency and capital preservation matter far more than maximum leverage.
After registering on BTCC, you can switch to Demo Trading mode and receive virtual funds, for example 100,000 USDT, to practice without risking real capital. The demo environment uses real Grass (GRASS) market data, so prices, order books, and volatility behave the same way as the live market.
In demo mode you can rehearse the full trading workflow: adjusting leverage, opening long and short positions on GRASS/USDT perpetual contracts, placing market and limit orders, and setting take-profit and stop-loss levels. You can also test trailing stops and see how margin ratio changes as price moves.
Use the demo account to build a repeatable process before going live. Once your strategy performs consistently with virtual funds, transition to real trading with small size and the same risk rules you practiced. This approach helps you avoid costly mistakes caused by inexperience.
Buying and trading Grass (GRASS) on BTCC follows a simple four-step flow.
Start with low leverage and a small position size while you learn how the contract behaves. Once you are comfortable, you can scale up gradually. Always keep a portion of your balance as free margin to avoid forced liquidation during volatile moves.
