Podcast #002 - GRASS - Building the decentralized oracle for AI
Did you know companies could be using your IP and bandwidth to scrape data without you knowing it? In the age of AI, now more than ever, data is gold.
Learn about how large language models (LLMs) leverage public data, the beginning of the ‘data wars’, and how you can go from being exploited to being rewarded by leveraging your excess bandwidth.

Summary
Podcast Episode Summary: Andrej Radonjic Founder of Grass Network
In this episode, Andrej Radonjic Founder of Grass Network, explains how Grass enables users to monetize their unused internet bandwidth by connecting their devices to a decentralized network. We'll explore the motivations behind creating a fairer market for residential IPs, the technical aspects of using blockchain for transparency and security, and the various applications for companies.
Key Points Covered:
- Introduction to Grass:
- Grass, a crypto project developed by Wynd Network, enables users to monetize their unused network resources by connecting their internet-enabled devices to the network.
- This innovative approach allows individuals to sell their surplus internet bandwidth to vetted companies.
- Motivation and Vision:
- The project's primary motivation is creating a fairer and more ethical market for residential IPs, where users are compensated for unused bandwidth.
- Grass envisions a decentralized proxy market that democratizes network-sharing and ensures users benefit directly from their resources.
- Technical Aspects:
- Grass operates on a decentralized network where users' devices contribute unused bandwidth, tracked and managed through blockchain technology.
- Users are rewarded with tokens, which also grant governance rights, enhancing transparency and security in the network.
- Use Cases and Applications:
- Companies can utilize the network for data scraping, market price comparison, and ad display verification across different regions.
- This decentralized approach offers a cost-effective and ethical alternative to traditional, centralized proxy services.
- Challenges and Solutions:
- One major challenge is ensuring the security and privacy of users' data while preventing network misuse.
- Grass addresses this by implementing strict vetting processes for companies and using blockchain technology to maintain a transparent and secure environment.
- Future Plans:
- Grass aims to expand its user base and enhance the network's capabilities, potentially integrating more advanced blockchain features and expanding the types of resources users can share.
- The project also plans to refine its governance model to ensure a more robust and user-driven ecosystem.
- Conclusion:
- Grass by Wynd Network is set to revolutionize the residential IP market by offering a decentralized, ethical, and user-centric alternative.
- By rewarding users for their unused bandwidth and ensuring secure, democratic network-sharing, Grass aims to create a more equitable digital landscape.
