The internet data wars are enriching big tech while users see no benefit. Grass promises to change that by rewarding users for their unused data with Grass tokens. Agreeing that big tech profits from user data without compensation, this article will explain how the new Grass browser extension allows users to earn the cryptocurrency Grass from their unused internet activity and take control of their data.
What is the Grass Token?
Grass is a cryptocurrency that will be launching on Solana to pay people for unused internet bandwidth via the Grass browser extension. Initially planned for Ethereum, Grass moved to Solana due to better scaling abilities and lower fees.
Migrating to Solana ensures Grass can achieve the high transaction throughput needed to efficiently process millions of micropayments to users.
Earning Grass tokens allows users to cash out or exchange the tokens on decentralized exchanges for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, or stablecoins like USDC that can be converted to cash.
How Does Grass Work?
To start earning with Grass, users must first sign up on the Grass website to create an account. They will then need to download the Grass browser extension which is currently available on Chrome, Kiwi, and Safari browsers. Once installed, the extension runs silently in the background and shares the user's anonymous and unused internet data with the Wynd Network. Grass tokens are distributed to users based on the amount and value of this shared data. All token distributions are clearly tracked and visible to users.
Benefits of Grass
It's Ethical
By prioritizing user privacy and transparency in its revenue sharing model, the Grass network aims to establish new ethical standards for data sharing practices. Grass values data privacy, so it developed a system that allows anonymous data sharing while properly tracking earnings. This balance of privacy and transparency builds trust.
It's Decentralized
By operating on the decentralized Wynd Network, Grass avoids the risks of centralized control and ownership of vast user data by only a few major companies.
It's Democratic
As a free service that distributes 100% of earnings to all data contributors, Grass empowers every user to participate in and benefit from the new decentralized data economy.
How Much Can You Earn?
According to estimates on the Grass website, the average user can earn approximately $100 worth of Grass tokens per month from regular daily internet use with a single device. In addition, Grass has implemented a referral program where users can earn a percentage of their referrals' earnings. This allows users to multiply their income by sharing Grass with their friends and online networks. Some motivated users have reported earning over $300 per month through referrals alone. Of course, earnings will vary depending on individual internet habits and success with referrals.
Getting Started with Grass
Signing up with Grass is simple and only requires an email address and password on their website. After registering, users will receive a confirmation email containing a link to activate their Grass account. From the Grass dashboard, users can download the browser extension which is currently available on Chrome, Kiwi, and Safari.
The extension runs automatically and invisibly in the background once installed without disrupting normal internet activity. Users can then view their Grass token balance and earnings directly within the Grass interface. All data is clearly displayed about tokens earned and the anonymous, unused internet data shared that generated this income.
Conclusion
By joining the Grass network now, users have an opportunity to participate early in this new decentralized model for internet data sharing that promises to put control and financial benefits directly in the hands of contributors. Grass offers a promising solution to issues around privacy and equitable compensation in the digital economy. With its emphasis on ethics, transparency and rewarding all users fairly for their role, Grass may help establish new standards for how internet data is used and monetized globally.
