Grass (GRASS) is a cryptocurrency that powers the Grass network, a decentralized platform that enables users to share their unused internet bandwidth and earn rewards in return. The network uses this bandwidth to support various online services, such as web data scraping, and rewards users with GRASS tokens.

The Grass network operates by connecting users who share their unused internet bandwidth with verified institutions that need this bandwidth to support their online services. The network uses a blockchain to ensure secure, transparent, and decentralized transactions, and rewards users with GRASS tokens for their contributions.

The Grass network offers users a way to monetize their unused internet bandwidth, while also contributing to the development of a decentralized internet infrastructure. Users can earn GRASS tokens, which can be used to power transactions, stake and earn rewards, and participate in network governance.

The Grass Data Ledger is an immutable data structure that hosts full datasets and links the data to its corresponding on-chain proof. It ensures data provenance and is the link between the data being scraped and the L1 Settlement Layer, providing a secure and transparent way to manage data on the Grass network.

To participate in the Grass network, users can download the Grass app, create an account, and share their unused internet bandwidth. Users can also run a Grass node, which acts as a gateway to the internet and relays traffic, earning rewards in return.

The Grass Foundation is responsible for allocating resources to contributors working towards a decentralized, enduring, and collaborative future for the Grass ecosystem. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the long-term success and development of the Grass network.

The Sovereign Data Rollup is a decentralized data sourcing and transformation platform built on the Grass network. It enables AI universal access to structured web data, streamlining data sourcing and transformation through a globally distributed network of Grass nodes.

Users can stake their GRASS tokens by delegating them to routers, which are responsible for facilitating web traffic on the Grass network. There is no minimum staking period, and rewards are distributed every second. Users can also unstake their tokens, but there is a 7-day unstaking period during which their tokens remain locked.
