Grass (GRASS): tokenomics, risks and score
A network where users share unused internet bandwidth, which is used to scrape public web data for training AI models, in exchange for tokens.
What Grass is, and what it does
This is a DePIN network. It pays people to supply real physical infrastructure such as wireless coverage, sensors, storage or mapping, and sells the resulting service or data.
What the GRASS token itself does: It captures no protocol revenue. Any value rests on governance rights, on speculation, or on a change that has not happened yet.
Where it runs: Solana. Mechanism: Bandwidth sharing network for AI data collection. It has been running since 2024, so roughly 2 years.

How the score breaks down
Each dimension is explained on the directory page, and the reasoning behind it is taught in the Academy research process.
Supply and value capture
A hard maximum supply that cannot be raised without the agreement of essentially every participant. The token captures no protocol revenue. Any value rests on governance rights, speculation, or future changes that have not happened yet.
The founding team retains control over upgrades or parameters. Ownership is heavily concentrated. A small number of wallets hold enough to determine the price on their own.
Where it is strong and where it is not
- Supply is capped, so holders are not diluted indefinitely
- Audited, with published reports
- Heavily concentrated ownership means a few wallets control the outcome
- The token captures no protocol revenue, so its value rests on sentiment
- Significant supply is still scheduled to unlock, which is a structural headwind
- Upgrade control sits with a small group, so the rules can change
Incident history
No major exploit, collapse or regulatory action on record against this asset.
Our read
The main risk
Participants route third party traffic through their own connections, and the token captures no revenue while unlocks are heavy.
Before you buy anything
Check the contract address against the project's own documentation rather than a search result or a screener link, since impersonation tokens with identical names and logos are listed constantly. Check the order book depth before assuming you can exit at the quoted price. And write down what would make you wrong before you buy, not after. The Academy thesis module covers why that single habit protects more capital than any indicator.
