Unlock Rewards with Grass Points: Earn, Refer, and Grow Your Network

Welcome to the world of Grass Points, the fuel that powers your journey in the Grass ecosystem. As a Grass app user, you’re not just sharing your unused bandwidth with us. You’re also accumulating valuable points that track your contributions and put you on the path to future Grass rewards.

Think of these points as your digital footprint in our ecosystem. The more active you are and the more people you bring into the Grass network, the larger your stake becomes.

What Are Grass Points?

In a nutshell, Grass Points are the measurement system we use to track your contributions to the Grass network. These points represent your participation in building a more equitable internet where both companies and users benefit from the extra bandwidth you aren’t using.

You can earn Grass Points in three different ways:

• When you download and use Grass
• When you successfully refer someone
• When your referred person(s) extend their invites to others

Within the Grass app, the number of points you accumulate will depend on which of the above actions you take and how big your referral network grows. Let’s look at each level of point accumulation in more detail.

Grass Usage Points

The simplest and easiest way to begin collecting Grass Points is to download the Grass app and connect to our network. While you go about your day, Grass utilizes your unused bandwidth. (Need a refresher on techie terms we use? Check out our Grass Glossary.) 

Our app tracks your contributions and rewards you with Grass Points simply for sharing the bandwidth you’ve already paid for and aren’t using. 

This is an excellent way to start collecting points, but if you want to supercharge your points accumulation, it’s time to refer your friends, family, and neighbors.

Grass Invite Points

Know any friends, co-workers, neighbors, or family members who want to put their unused bandwidth to good use? Refer them to the Grass network. If they sign up using your Grass referral code, you’ll receive 20% of the points they generate forever. Don’t worry, your referral still gets all their points. You just get additional points based on the points they generate. That means for every 100 points your friend earns, you’ll automatically collect 20 points without lifting a finger! (And your friend will receive all of their 100 points.)

The best part? There’s no limit to how many people you can invite. Each new person you bring to the Grass network becomes an ongoing source of Grass Points flowing into your account for as long as they continue to use Grass. 

And there’s one more thing. When each of your referred friends reaches 100 hours of uptime, they’ll get a 5,000-point bonus, and you’ll receive 2,500 Grass Points. 

Secondary Grass Points

Referring your mail carrier, your barber, and your Aunt Carol to the Grass network isn’t the end of your points accumulation. If Aunt Carol recruits new Grass users from her knitting club, not only will she get her own referral bonuses, but you’ll benefit as well. (Go, Aunt Carol!)

When someone you’ve invited to the Grass network shares their own referral link with others, you automatically earn 10% of all the Grass Points those secondary connections generate.

As another example, imagine that Aunt Carol invites 10 of her knitting buddies to join Grass, and they each earn 100 Grass Points monthly. That’s another 100 points for you each month without lifting a finger. The beauty of this system is that your network can expand far beyond your direct reach.

Tertiary Grass Points

Your growing stash of Grass Points doesn’t stop with Aunt’s knitting club. There’s one more level that can shoot your point count to the moon. When someone at the second level of your network (Aunt Carol’s knitting club) shares their Grass referral code with new users, you automatically collect 5% of those tertiary users’ points as long as they continue using Grass.

Think of it as your referral family tree, branching out three generations deep. You might not even know these tertiary connections, yet they’re doing you a solid by generating Grass Points for you. 

The Power of Grass Referrals

You’re getting the idea of just how powerful referrals can be in exploding the number of Grass Points you collect. But just to put it into perspective, let’s look at the compounding effect of inviting just a few of your closest friends to the Grass network.

Imagine you invite five friends to join the Grass app. As soon as they connect to the network, they’ll begin earning their own points, and completely separate from their point total, you’ll earn a 20% bonus based on what they earn.  

If each of those friends invites five more people, then you would have 25 additional people in your network. While they earn their points, you’ll get a separate 10% bonus based on those earnings. If each of those secondary referrals refers an additional five new people to the network, then that’s 125 more people in your network. You’ll earn a 5% bonus based on the points that the third-tier referrals accumulate (while they keep all the points they earn).

By originally inviting just five friends to join Grass, you could end up collecting Grass Point bonuses based on the earnings of a number of additional users. With each active user generating their own stream of points, your earnings can multiply drastically. 

Don’t forget about those special bonuses, too. You’ll receive 2,500 points each time a direct referral reaches 100 hours of uptime. Your Grass referral code isn’t just an invitation. It’s the foundation of your future Grass Points empire! 

Maximize Your Rewards with Grass Points

The best way to maximize your Grass rewards is to focus on quality over quantity as you build your referral network. Invite friends who will actively use the app and who are motivated to build their own network. As you saw from the example above, just a few good referrals can explode your points accumulation.

Of course, the path to your Grass Points empire begins with an important first step. Download the Grass app and connect it to your network. Once the app is up and running, you can begin identifying referral targets and sending them your Grass referral code. (It might help to also send a link to our Grass 101 article so they know what they’re signing up for.)
