Grass, built by Wynd Network, is a decentralized data layer that mobilizes individuals' unused home internet bandwidth to scrape and verify public web data, packaging it into clean, provenance-tracked datasets for AI developers. Users install a browser extension or app that contributes idle bandwidth, earning rewards tracked as Grass Points and later distributed as tokens. The network positions itself as a decentralized oracle for AI data, generating datasets whose origins are traceable so contributors can be fairly compensated and AI builders get verifiable, real-time web data. Grass emphasizes privacy, stating it cannot access users' personal online activity. By distributing web access across millions of residential nodes, Grass addresses data-collection bottlenecks faced by AI companies while sharing the economic value with everyday users. It sits squarely in the crypto-meets-AI data infrastructure category.
