After the first round of the airdrop for the Grass token in the computing power sharing project was opened for claims, the excessive number of claimants caused the Phantom wallet to crash. This article originates from a piece written by the research organization ASXN, organized and translated by PANews. (Background: The community lamented after the Grass airdrop went live, with the token's off-market price plummeting) (Context: The cryptocurrency circle needs to be awakened, no longer pretending that airdrops are effective) Recently, the AI and DePIN combined computing power sharing project Grass has launched another airdrop "feast." On October 28, the Grass Foundation announced the opening of the first round of GRASS token airdrop claims, which led to a temporary crash of the Phantom wallet due to an overwhelming number of claimants. As of November 4, Dune data shows that 82.75% of the GRASS airdrop tokens (approximately 64,781,717 tokens) have been claimed by users, involving a total of 1,830,287 claim addresses. The airdrop craze also temporarily "boosted" the GRASS token. Since the announcement of the airdrop opening for claims, the overall trend of GRASS has been soaring, rising from around $0.65 to a peak of $1.86, currently reported at $1.63. This article aims to analyze the technical characteristics of the Grass project from a technical perspective. Grass is a decentralized data layer and network focused on web scraping, real-time contextual retrieval, and artificial intelligence data collection. Its main goal is to achieve the decentralization and democratization of internet data collection through incentive mechanisms while compensating users who contribute resources. The Grass network currently scrapes over 100TB of data daily. So far, Grass nodes span 190 countries, with over 2.5 million nodes. It manages all processes from initial data collection to processing and verification, while also compensating and incentivizing participants. The Grass protocol consists of the following components: Grass Nodes, Sovereign Data Rollup. Grass nodes allow users to contribute idle network resources in exchange for rewards. Each node is uniquely identified by its device fingerprint and IP address. The Grass Sovereign Data Rollup is a network built specifically on Solana, enabling the protocol to handle all transactions from data sources to processing, verification, and dataset construction. The network is built around validators issuing data collection directives, routers managing web request distribution, and nodes used by users to contribute their idle network resources. Grass employs a ledger for hash storage, a Merkle tree bundling system, and on-chain root data release. Grass nodes can be deployed via browser extensions, desktop applications, or Android-based mobile applications. For data processing, the protocol uses an HTML to JSON conversion system, custom Python cleaning scripts, data structure tools, and vectorization processes, while developing embedding models for edge processing. Security and verification are maintained through Zero-Knowledge Transmission Layer Security (ZK TLS), proof generation for web requests, web session logging, decentralized databases for hash storage, and anti-data poisoning measures. Grass also ensures data integrity and quality through various means, including contributor ranking systems, consensus mechanisms for quality control, decentralized work systems, and reputation scoring systems. Data management is handled through various storage solutions, including Hugging Face (supporting up to 10TB/day of free storage), self-hosted MongoDB for proprietary datasets, and partnerships with decentralized data providers. Recently, the team opened their dataset UpVoteWeb, which contains 600 million Reddit posts and comments on HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenCo7/UpVoteWeb Related Reports How can DePIN promote the development of Web3 games?
