According to TechFlow, Grass, a decentralized Internet service provider, announced the launch of an invitation-based beta version of the Desktop Node. The new node takes up less than 5% of the resources of the Chromium browser and processes 10 times the bandwidth of the Chrome extension. Users who run desktop nodes will receive 2 times the network points, reflecting the high uptime, low latency, and priority routing of the node.
The first test invitations have been sent to a selected group of users, including GigaBuds. Grass said the move is aimed at giving users back control over their bandwidth resources and fighting against middleware companies abusing their privileges.
