I tested Grass (GetGrass.io) when it launched and have followed it since. It paid decent rewards in its first airdrop, but the rewards announced for the next distribution look extremely low. Below is what I found, and which apps I recommend instead.

No longer recommended: the announced rewards are extremely low
A passive way to earn by sharing your internet. You only get paid at set times, and support is poor.

The short answer
Grass (GetGrass.io) rewards you for sharing your unused internet bandwidth. It is a lot like Honeygain, but with a few key differences. When Grass did its first airdrop, the rewards were quite decent.
But you can only get paid at set times that Grass announces, and from the first airdrop until the second payout was announced, it took almost 2 years. The rewards announced in July 2026 look extremely low, and support is close to nonexistent. As of updating this review, it is no longer a platform I recommend.
- Offers a passive way of earning
- Runs in the background without eating up a lot of your computer’s resources
- Desktop app, browser extension and Android app
- Limited payout options are available
- You do not know exactly when you can get paid
- The announced rewards for the next reward distribution are extremely low and disappointing
- They have terrible support
- No iOS app
My experience with Grass
I installed Grass, shared my bandwidth and followed the platform through its updates. This is what I did myself, and what I did not test.

Is Grass legit and safe?
Grass is a real platform, and its first airdrop paid quite decent rewards. But it is no longer a platform I recommend. Here is what you should know before you start.
- The announced rewards look extremely low
In July 2026, Grass showed the value of the points earned since the last airdrop. I have seen many reports from users who have been active for a very long time and only seem to be getting around $1–$3 worth of rewards. Uptime points seem to be rewarded even lower: it looks like you would need around 15 million uptime points just to earn around $1.
- You can only get paid at set times
Grass announces when you can withdraw. In my opinion, they have not been transparent enough about this. From the first airdrop until they announced the second payout, it took almost 2 years.
- Support is close to nonexistent
I tried the chat in the dashboard. I got a generic reply, and the representative referred me to Discord. On Discord, the support section tells you to use the chat on the website.
- Beware of fake airdrops
Many scammers pretend to be Grass and run fake airdrops to drain your crypto wallet or scam you in other ways. Only trust announcements about the next airdrop on the official website and social media.
- More devices on one IP do not earn more
Devices connected to the same public IP address split the earnings. It is more efficient to run it on one computer to lessen your electricity consumption.
My takeIn my opinion, GetGrass was great when it first launched. When they did their first airdrop, I think they lived up to their goal about fair rewards. But the lack of transparency regarding when you would be able to get paid, and the extremely low rewards then announced is a deal-breaker, in my opinion. Therefore, as of updating this review, it is no longer a platform I recommend.
Grass is no longer a platform I recommend. These passive income apps offer good payout options and are more transparent.
See the best passive income appsHow you earn on Grass
There are 2 ways to earn. Sharing your bandwidth is the main one. Tap one to read more.
Sharing your unused internet bandwidthMain way to earn
Install the Grass desktop node and log in. Then set up how the program shares your unused internet bandwidth and click “Connect”. You can view your connection and watch the points roll in.
It started as a browser extension. Now there is also a desktop app and an Android app. It does not eat up a lot of your computer’s resources, so you can use your computer like you normally would.
Referral program20%, 10% and 5%
Share your referral link or code. You receive a 20% commission when your referral earns from Grass.
The program is three levels deep: you get 10% from your referral’s referrals, and 5% from the last level, as long as the referrals stay active.
How much can you make?
It mostly depends on your network score. The main factors are your location and the number of unique IP addresses attached to your account.
Devices on the same public IP address split the earnings, so one computer earns the same as several computers on one IP address. If you only have access to one IP address, it takes a bit of time to earn a decent amount.
But right now, the rewards look extremely low. Many users who have been active for a very long time only seem to be getting around $1–$3 worth of rewards. I will keep following the updates from Grass and update this review if anything changes.
How you get paid
| Payment | Paid to | When |
|---|---|---|
| Grass tokens | Any Solana wallet | The first airdrop |
| USDC | Announced by Grass | The next reward distribution, announced in July 2026 |
You earn points. You can only get paid at set times, and Grass announces when you can withdraw. Grass tokens are traded on crypto trading platforms, so they have monetary value.
Readers in Canada told me they can earn, but that cash out is currently not allowed in Canada. I think it might be due to Canadian crypto laws.
What 16 readers told me
This review has 16 comments since 2024: 8 from readers and 8 replies from me. These are the things readers ask about most.
Readers with hundreds of thousands, or even billions, of points ask what they will get and when. Grass only pays at set times, and the July 2026 announcement shows very low rewards.
A reader asked about Canada. Readers there can earn, but cash out is currently not allowed.
A reader found the Android app still in test mode. It is now on the Google Play Store.
“I have account in grass.io from april 2025 and they dont paid me one cent so far.”
Mikael: As I explain above, you can only get paid when they do an airdrop. Unfortunately, they are not very clear about when the next will be … It definitely takes some patience.
“Can I expect a minimum of $10 for each 100k points??”
Mikael: Unfortunately, there is no way yet to know how much the points will be worth once they do the next airdrop. I wish they were more transparent about this so we all knew what to expect
“Does grass work in Canada?”
Mikael: Yes, but I have heard from a few people that they can earn but that cash out currently is not allowed in Canada. I think it might be due to Canadian crypto laws.

If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with Grass, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Can I expect a minimum of $10 for each 100k points??
Unfortunately, there is no way yet to know how much the points will be worth once they do the next airdrop. I wish they were more transparent about this so we all knew what to expect, but we have to wait and see until they do the next airdrop.
I have account in grass.io from april 2025 and they dont paid me one cent so far.I have 779.82k points.Current Epoch is 14.
As I explain above, you can only get paid when they do an airdrop. Unfortunately, they are not very clear about when the next will be, but I have explained when you can approximately expect it will happen above. It definitely takes some patience.
Sir how much tokens can I expect at minimum for 200k points.
Just an estimate would be helpful
Unfortunately, I cannot give an estimate as no one knows. This is one of the things I do not like about Grass – that they do not tell you anything about what you can expect to get for your points. But to be honest, you should not expect to get a lot for 200K.
I think grass android still in test mode. Need password to download.
From what I understand, it will be available any moment, so very soon, you will be able to download it without a code.
Does grass work in Canada?
Yes, but I have heard from a few people that they can earn but that cash out currently is not allowed in Canada. I think it might be due to Canadian crypto laws.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Really hope they will give an update soon, but as I mention in the review above, we do not know yet what/if will really happen. We still have to wait and see and I am also keeping an eye on it constantly to see how it develops and hope for the best.
Mike Grass hasn’t launched yet, but have you noticed they introduced a new platform called Nodepay with the same concept? I strongly believe the same people behind Grass are also behind Nodepay. I’ve completely lost hope in Grass. I have over 12 billion points, but they’re useless. Do you still believe in this project?”
At the moment I am still just keeping an eye on it. As I also say in the review above, there is no guarantee how it will go, and with new platforms like this I have learned not to get too hopeful until they actually launch. But Grass still seems to keep developing and updates features regularly, so it seems there is still hope.
Hello! My name is Diego and I have been testing the app for about 2 weeks, I have accumulated enough tokens to be able to use them in 3 more months in real money.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
