# Grass

> Earn A Stake In The AI Revolution. Get paid for your unused internet.

Grass enables users to monetize unused internet bandwidth by sharing it with AI companies, earning rewards through a peer-to-peer network.

The Grass platform allows users to earn passive income by sharing unused internet bandwidth with AI companies to train their models. By installing a web extension or mobile app, users contribute to the growth of artificial intelligence and earn Grass points, which can be accumulated over time. The platform operates on a peer-to-peer network, and the earning potential varies depending on the user's location and the demand for bandwidth in their region.

## Products

- [Grass Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Grass): Decentralized network leveraging idle bandwidth/storage for AI data validation, rewarding with GRASS points. (Off-Chain Data APIs and Services, Open Beta, Main Product)

## Assets

- [Grass (GRASS)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Grass): GRASS is the utility token of the Grass Network on Solana. It is used to stake to routers that process bandwidth traffic, participate in governance votes on network improvements and partnerships, and pay for network services. Staking follows a shared-risk, shared-reward model where routers with more stake are selected more frequently to process bandwidth, resulting in higher rewards for both delegators and infrastructure providers.
