Looking for a simple way to earn rewards online? Here's something most people miss.
You’re already paying for a fast internet connection, but most of the time, you’re only using a fraction of it. The rest sits idle. Grass lets you put that unused bandwidth to work and earn rewards in the process.
Millions of people around the world use Grass to share their extra bandwidth and earn Grass Points. It’s completely free to join, easy to set up, and runs quietly in the background. No complicated steps, no technical skills required.
The longer you stay connected, and the more people you refer, the more Grass Points you’ll rack up. If you're looking for a low-effort way to earn on the side, Grass might be the easiest online side hustle out there.
How the Grass System Works as an Online Side Hustle
Verified companies and research institutions rely on access to residential connections like yours to do things they can’t from a data center, like checking local prices, verifying regional ads, training AI models, and conducting web-based research.
Grass connects these companies, after a thorough vetting process, with the internet provided by our network of users. Don’t worry, there is no way for anyone to access your personal data or online activity. These will always remain completely private.
Of course, we don’t expect you to hand over your unused internet for free. Instead, you’ll earn Grass Points by keeping the app running in the background on your computer as you go about your day.
These Grass Points then serve as the foundation for receiving Grass Tokens, which represent actual ownership in the Grass network. When token distributions occur, your points help determine your allocation. For example, in October 2024, we distributed over 100 million Grass Tokens to more than two million users with a real-world value of USD $200 million* to Grass users!

How to Get Started with Grass

That’s really it! Now, you’re getting real value from a resource you didn’t know you had.
How to Maximize Your Earnings with Grass
When it comes to growing your rewards, it’s all about racking up Grass Points (which can eventually translate into Grass Tokens). We’ve developed an easy-to-use dashboard that tracks your connection time, the points you’ve earned, and how your referrals are going.
With a little focus and some good strategy, you can quickly grow your cache of Grass Points to get your online side hustle off the ground.
Consistent Bandwidth Sharing
The simplest way to start earning Grass Points is to keep your Grass app running whenever your device is online. The more consistent your connection, the more Grass Points you’ll earn.
Rewards Tip: Consider downloading the Grass Desktop app on your computer rather than the browser extension for maximum points generation.
Usage Bonuses
We make it a point to reward the most active users with special bonuses at key milestones. For example, when you reach 100 hours of uptime, you’ll get a juicy 5,000-point bonus. (By the way, “uptime” is the amount of time you spend connected to Grass actively sharing your unused bandwidth.)
Rewards Tip: Regular users consistently earn more Grass Points than occasional participants.
Make Referrals
Earning Grass Points based on your own uptime to the network is all well and good, but there’s more on the table. There’s only so much unused bandwidth that you, as a single node in the network, can provide. If you want to exponentially increase your Grass Points earnings (and the potential of your online side hustle), it’s time to start making referrals.
At Grass, we’ve developed a three-tiered referral program:
- Earn 20% bonus based on your direct referrals’ points indefinitely
- Earn 10% bonus based on your referrals’ referrals
- Earn 5% bonus based on your third level referrals
In a nutshell, when someone you refer to the Grass network signs up and begins earning points, you’ll earn points based on their uptime. Don’t worry, you aren’t taking Grass Points away from your friends. You earn your points separately. Your earnings are simply a bonus based on their level of participation.
Plus, when your referrals reach 100 hours of uptime, both you and your referrals receive substantial bonus points. The referral system helps us continually expand the network, while users like you earn Grass rewards even when you’re not actively sharing your bandwidth with us.
Rewards Tip: When it comes to referrals, focus on quality over quantity. You only earn Grass Points when your referrals are active on the network. Consider recruiting the people you think are most likely to be enthusiastic Grass users.
Why Grass Is Perfect for Beginners
If you’re new to the world of online side hustles, Grass can be a great entry point. It is a simple, three-step setup process, which means you can start sharing your unused bandwidth in exchange for Grass Points in under five minutes. No technical expertise needed.
The beauty of the system lies in its simplicity. Keep your device running during the day to start earning Grass Points. You can stop there if you want. But, if you’d like to grow your points earnings dramatically, spend a little time each day or on the weekends sending out referrals to your network.
