2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Grass. Before diving into what’s ahead, we want to formally wrap up 2024. In 2024, Grass: • 0.2M users to 3M (15x) • 8,000,000GB+ of total web data scraped • Ability to scrape 100TB+ of web data daily • 3 billion videos (1000x) • Over $196 million* distributed to over 2.2 million users in one of the most widely distributed airdrops in history. *Based on the average price of GRASS over the month of December. Last week we had our first founder seminar of 2025. Here's what @0xdrej outlined for Grass' future: • Sion Phase 1 results: Improving network efficiency with 60x faster data retrieval. grassfoundation.io/network/stats • Multimodal search: Enable AI models to semantically search insights from video, audio, and text data in real time. • New distribution methods: Expanding access through mobile and other platforms, making it easier for users to join and contribute to Grass. • Deprecating the Chrome Grass extension: Transitioning fully to the more powerful and efficient desktop node • Introducing a new product: Horizontally scaling Grass… 🤫 If you missed the latest seminar, don’t worry, future sessions will be brought to X. Below are some great breakdowns from the community: The community nailed it with this breakdown of Grass’s multimodal search initiative. x.com/cryptolawncare… Sergeant Lazo bringing the seminar summaries as usual! x.com/Sgt_Lazo/statu… Our growing Reddit community joined in by breaking down the key roadmap points. reddit.com/r/Grass_io/com… And our very own Dan pulling some of the key sections Andrej covered. x.com/dadagrassman/s… Grass is just getting started. After a year of scaling and breakthroughs, 2025 will push the limits of what’s possible, solving massive problems in AI and driving real-world impact. None of this would be possible without the incredible support and contributions from our community. Together, we’re building a more open internet.

GM to those who don’t waste their unused bandwidth

Our interview with @0xdrej is here! 🌱 We discussed: - How @getgrass_io is democratizing access to web data - @getgrass_io's potential impact on the AI industry - Data poisoning prevention - And more! Links to the full episode below 🔽

The Desktop Node is now available for everyone to download! After a successful invite-only beta, where our dedicated users helped us refine and perfect the user experience, the Desktop Node is ready for all new and existing Grass users. Your privacy and security remain our top priorities. The Grass Desktop Node has undergone a rigorous 3-month audit process, ensuring compliance with all major anti-virus providers. Grass is on a mission to put users first, challenging the status quo where middleware companies have been abusing your resources. With the Grass Desktop Node, you're in control, contributing to a fairer, open internet. Ready to get started? Download the Desktop Node from the Grass app store today and join us in revolutionizing the web. Take back control with Grass.

Tomorrow, Epoch 7 - the final epoch of the Grass Closed Beta - will begin. ​ Our end game is to build the world’s only open internet scale web crawl and turn the entire public web into a knowledge graph that can be used by any AI model. This matters because only two companies in the world are capable of crawling the entire web, and they capture all of the value accrued by AI development. ​ Since launching Grass, we've welcomed two million users into the network, and this is just the beginning. As the network grows, its capabilities expand exponentially. Imagine the transformative power of Grass with 100 million nodes. ​ The most important feature of Grass that was verified during closed beta is its ability to access 100% of the public web. With the release of UpVoteWeb on @huggingface, Grass became the first network to build and open source the largest dataset of its kind — ten times larger than the next. ​ Just as companies in the past 20 years changed how we interact with the web, Grass will change who owns the web. ​ Let’s take back control of the internet.

HUGE NEWS for the Grass ecosystem: The network has just been used to open source over 600 million Reddit posts and comments! This content will now be publicly available for AI training, leveling the playing field for developers everywhere. It is a giant step towards eliminating barriers to entry and putting AI back in the hands of the people. This is why Grass exists.

Thrilled to announce the release of the latest dataset from Grass Foundation: UpvoteWeb-24-600M UpvoteWeb-24-600M contains 600 million of the top posts and comments from Reddit in 2024, as well as media links and reply lineage. The data has been totally anonymized to preserve user privacy, and it includes language detection and token counts. All content is safe for work, filtered using Reddit's moderation metadata. Available now on @huggingface: huggingface.co/datasets/OpenC…

We came to touch grass

Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to GRASS SUMMER! Please head over to the Rewards tab on your dashboard and connect your Solana wallet now. We want to thank you all for being with us on this ride, and we look forward to sharing the next steps of this process. Remember - it’s also not too late to join Grass. Power has been concentrated for too long in tech, and we have a mission to bring it back to the people. This starts with distributing the value of AI to each and every one of you. Summer has only just begun.

GM all, ​ For certain reasons, we’re expecting a huge influx of new users soon. The network will need to be as robust as possible, so we’re introducing a handful of new products to expand its capabilities. Today we debut their new home: The GRASS APP STORE. ​ The store will host a variety of different free apps. The first of these is the Grass Community Node, which you can download today. ​ Up to now, you’ve all been earning through a chrome extension added to your browser. This is identical to that, with the added bonus that you can now test new features before widespread release. ​ In return, Community Node users will receive a 1.25x network score and be rewarded accordingly. It’s a great way to boost your points without doing any extra work. And that might be a good idea right now - just saying. ​ Again, this is one of several new products we’ll be rolling out, and the next one is right around the corner. That one will be big, and form the basis for a lot of what we have planned going forward. So stay tuned, and as always, thank you for touching Grass.
