The concept of Grass is simple. When you sign up for the Grass app and share your unused internet with the Grass network, you get rewarded with Grass Points. There’s no complex setup and no technical expertise required.
You could stop there and just enjoy a slow and steady accumulation of Grass Points over time. But if you’ve got the drive and focus, you can supercharge your Points collection.
How? It all comes down to building a solid referral network or “Grass family tree.” The Grass referral program is designed to offer big rewards to users who bring their friends, family, colleagues, mail carriers, hairdressers, and dogwalkers into the network.
And you’re not just accruing Grass Points as a badge of pride. Those Points help determine how many Grass Tokens you’ll receive at the next Grass Token drop. The last airdrop in October of 2024 had a real-world value of $200 million USD!*

What Are Grass Points and Why Your Referral Network Matters
The simplest way to begin building your collection of Grass Points is to sign up for the Grass app and begin sharing your unused internet. But that’s only the start of your points journey. Things start to get much more interesting when you start taking advantage of the Grass referral program.
Your Grass Family Tree: The Three-Level Referral Structure
The Grass network is powered by users. The more users, the bigger, stronger, and more valuable the network becomes for everyone. That’s why Grass built a system that rewards referrals from its existing users.
The backbone of the Grass referral program centers on three levels:
- Primary Referrals: When you share your referral link with someone and that person downloads and connects to Grass, they become a primary referral. They’ll begin earning Grass Points based on their uptime, but here’s the exciting part. You’ll earn 20% of their uptime Points indefinitely. This doesn’t mean you’ll take any Points away from your friends and family members. You’ll each earn Points separately.
- Secondary Referrals: Your earning power is just beginning. When one of your primary referrals brings in their own referrals, those new users become your secondary referrals. You’ll earn 10% of their uptime Points indefinitely, creating a second layer of ongoing rewards. (Again, your 10% bonus won’t impact how many Points your primary and secondary referrals earn.)
- Tertiary Referrals: You can probably see where this is going. Your tertiary referrals represent referrals made by your secondary referrals. You’ll earn 5% of their uptime Points indefinitely.
Together, these three referral levels create an extended Grass family tree where a single successful referral can multiply your long-term Points earnings.
Unlocking Bonus Rewards: Uptime Milestones & Referrals
Building your Grass family tree is only the start of the ways in which you can supercharge your Grass Points accrual. The next way is through milestone bonuses.
When you reach 100 hours of uptime (or roughly 4.17 days of constant connection time), you earn a 5,000-point bonus. Consider it a nice incentive to stay consistently connected when you first join the network.
But the rewards don’t end there. When your tier one referrals hit the 100-hour milestone, they get their 5,000 Grass Points, and you, separately, earn 2,500 Points. Imagine that you refer five friends to the Grass app and each friend hits the 100-hour milestone. You’ll be the proud recipient of 12,500 bonus Points!
The beauty of this system is that it creates motivation at every level of your Grass family tree. Your referrals have a juicy incentive to stay active to earn their own milestone bonuses, and they’ll be motivated to bring in others to earn more bonuses, which ultimately grows your entire network’s earning potential.
Climbing the Grass Ranks: Tiered Rewards for Active Referrers
The Grass referral program is designed so that the more you advance through the program, the greater your rewards become. When you start earning points and recruiting referrals, you begin a journey through a special tiered system that gives you even more Points bonuses as you scale up through 10 distinct ranks.
Each tier requires you to meet specific thresholds for either the number of referrals or the accumulated Grass Points. As you climb higher, the requirements become more challenging, but the bonus rewards increase accordingly.
Your Grass app dashboard tracks your current tier and shows you exactly how many referrals or Points you need to reach the next level.
Here’s the full ranking structure and what it takes to achieve each level:
- Iron Tier: 0 referrals or 0 Points = 0 Rewards
- Bronze Tier: 6 referrals or 373 Points = 20 Uptime Points
- Silver Tier: 11 referrals or 2,595 Points = 130 Uptime Points
- Gold Tier: 17 referrals or 11,351.3 Points = 565 Uptime Points
- Platinum Tier: 34 referrals or 36,351.14 Points = 1,800 Uptime Points
- Emerald Tier: 86 referrals or 118,247.2 Points = 6,000 Uptime Points
- Diamond Tier: 136 referrals or 375,443.13 Points = 19,000 Uptime Points
- Conqueror Tier: 154 referrals or 2,767,564.12 Points = 50,000 Uptime Points
- Vanguard Tier: 185 referrals or 7,394,899.99 Points = 100,000 Uptime Points
- Titan Tier: 221 referrals or 49,616,939 Points = 250,000 Uptime Points
The Grass ranking system gives you clear milestones to work toward while also rewarding the most successful network builders. Also, it’s a great way to compare your progress with your fellow Grass users. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone!
Strategy Tips: Nurturing Your Referral Family Tree
Building a successful Grass family tree doesn’t mean just sharing your referral link with everyone you’ve ever met, including your first-grade teacher and the roommate you haven’t spoken to in five years.
The most effective network builders take a strategic approach by targeting the right potential referrals, using existing Grass tools to monitor their progress, and educating their referral network.
Quality over Quantity
Take the time to properly onboard your referrals. Explain the milestone bonuses they’ll earn and help them understand why consistent uptime benefits you both.
Prioritize quality over quantity for referrals. One engaged referral is better than 10 inactive ones, as your earnings depend on their consistent connection. Properly onboard referrals, explaining milestone bonuses and the mutual benefits of consistent uptime.
Take Advantage of Your Grass Dashboard
Your Grass app dashboard is your mission control center. Regularly check your dashboard to confirm that you’re connected to the network, see your daily and total Grass Points earned, as well as your progress toward your next bonus and tier goals. Your dashboard can help you set specific and achievable goals and is the best way to track your overall Points progress.
Empower Your Network
The real power of the Grass referral program is your Grass family tree. The more you nurture and grow your tree, the more quickly your Points will accumulate.
Your Grass family tree is key to accumulating Points. Encourage primary referrals to share the Grass app, creating secondary and tertiary levels to compound earnings. Share successful strategies to help friends build their own trees. As referrals become successful referrers, everyone benefits. A growing tree also boosts tiered rankings and bonuses, helping you achieve Grass titan status.
Activate Your Referral Family Tree for Lasting Growth
Growing your Grass family tree and building a huge stash of Grass Points can be a fun challenge, but keep your eyes on the prize. Those Points have a purpose. They’ll eventually help translate into Grass Tokens during the next Token drop.
Grass Tokens represent real ownership in the Grass network you and your referrals are helping to build. While you’re sharing your unused internet bandwidth and growing your referral network, you’re also earning a stake in a more open web.
The opportunity is clear and the time is now. So, here’s the challenge: How many Grass Points can you accumulate? How big will your family tree grow?
Your Grass family tree starts with downloading the Grass app and then making one successful referral at a time. Download the app today.
