The documentation covers the basic concept of sharing unused bandwidth, the distinction between Uptime Points and Network Points, and the distribution of Grass Tokens or USDC. It does not detail specific hardware requirements, minimum/maximum entry costs, or the exact technical specifications of the network architecture.

How this score was reached
Workable, but check the gaps yourself. This measures how well the network can be assessed and participated in: documentation, verification, cost of entry, maturity and operator risk. It is not a prediction of returns, and it reads nothing from token price.

What it does
Grass is a decentralised physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that enables users to monetise their unused internet bandwidth. By running the Grass application in the background, users share idle network resources with verified institutions for tasks like live data access, earning Grass Points in return. These points, which factor in uptime, network traffic, and location, are used to determine distributions of native Grass Tokens or USDC.
How it works
Users download the Grass App and keep their devices online. The app shares idle internet bandwidth with verified institutions to support online services and live data access. Contributions are tracked via Grass Points (Uptime Points and Network Points), which are used to calculate future distributions of Grass Tokens or USDC.
How to participate
Download the Grass App, create an account, log in, and keep your device online to start sharing unused bandwidth and earning rewards.
