Mga paps try nyo to free lang. Aside from other mining site Grass is the ultimate DePiN solution! Earn passive income by sharing your unused Network Resources. 
Felt Unsafe??
Will installing Grass allow anyone to view my data or internet usage?
This one is easy: No, it won’t. While you may be used to companies exploiting your personal data from using social media over the years, we’re happy to report that this is not how Grass works.
So how does it work, then?
When you sign up for the internet, ISPs sell you a plan with a certain amount of bandwidth. For the average internet connection, this ends up being about 100 Mbps — in other words, your maximum download speed at any given moment is 100 megabytes per second.
But what happens during the times you’re just reading the news? You might be using only 5 or 10 Mbps of your allotted bandwidth, but you’re paying for the whole thing. So what happens to the other 90 Mbps of bandwidth that you aren’t using?
As we covered in Grass 101, AI data is typically gathered by scraping the public web. When you run a Grass node, a small fraction of those 90 Mbps of unused bandwidth are actually used to scrape this content.
When this happens, the network is not using your computer or viewing anything that you’re doing on it. All it's doing is routing internet traffic through your IP address, which is completely separate from your activity. That means zero access to your personal data.
To reiterate, this privacy and security applies at every level. Neither the app nor the network can see what’s going on in Chrome or any other app. They have no ability to view other extensions or their pop ups (including Metamask.) And they definitely cannot see the data you enter live while using your internet connection, like passwords or personal information.
Think of it like renting out a parking space in front of your house. Someone may pay to park there, but just because they’re out front doesn’t mean they can see anything that goes on inside the house. That’s how Grass works, only instead of renting out a parking space to another driver, you’re renting extra internet to the network. They have no way of seeing what’s going on in the house, and your activity remains totally safe and private.
Can my connection be used for anything îllégâl?
No. Overwhelmingly, the network is used by Wynd Labs, the parent company who started Grass. Wynd Labs exclusively scrapes data for AI purposes, and has no incentive to do otherwise.
At times, other AI labs may use the network to scrape data themselves. In these situations, all parties go through a careful vetting process by Wynd that requires them to sign a detailed service agreement to use the network.
One stipulation in this agreement is that Wynd can view all of their activity. Anything that is ever accessed with your unused bandwidth will be visible to Grass, and clients will be immediately banned for activity that’s deemed sketchy.
Another stipulation of this agreement is that these labs assume liability for anything they do while using the resources they purchase on Grass. This means that no matter what, their activity is their own responsibility and there is no way anything could happen to you as a result of using the app. The bottom line is, you don’t have to worry about anyone doing anything îllégâl - ever.
