Grid operates as a proxy network that sells unused bandwidth from connected devices to verified companies. These companies, including AI developers, utilize distributed data collection for safe and effective model training.
To start earning, simply install the Grid extension or app on your device. The software manages bandwidth sharing securely, ensuring no impact on your internet speed or performance.
Grid Points are awarded for the bandwidth you share. During the initial stage, before the Token Generation Event (TGA), points will not have monetary value. After the TGA, all points earned will be converted into platform governance tokens, representing your contribution to the network. These tokens may gain additional value as the network grows and evolves.
AI models require diverse, real-time data from distributed sources to improve their learning capabilities. Grid facilitates this by providing a reliable proxy network that powers AI development without compromising user security.
Yes! The more devices you connect, the more Grid Points you can earn. Currently, laptops and PCs versions are supported, with additional device compatibility planned for future updates.
Yes, you can run both the desktop node and the extension on the same computer. However, please note that sessions from the same IP address are merged. If both the app and extension are running from the same IP, you will earn points based on the desktop node.
To separate your points and maximize your earnings, it’s recommended to run only the desktop node. However, if you want to ensure that you continue earning points from the extension in case the app disconnects, you can run both.
To maximize your points, using multiple IP addresses is the most effective approach.
Absolutely. Grid employs advanced security measures to ensure your data remains protected. The extension or app cannot be used to hack, spy on, or compromise your device.
