Grass founder says network can't keep up with AI data demand

  • —Grass needs 30–50x more infrastructure; the network is described as 'saturated'
  • —More than 8 million active nodes and over 1 billion GB of web data delivered
  • —Revenue: about $17 million in 2025 and another $17 million in H1 2026
  • —Full-year 2026 revenue projected at $65–75 million from training data alone
Why it matters: AI demand for data is outpacing infrastructure, and the supply crunch could cap revenue for Grass and similar DePIN projects.
