Solana's future in AI.

When discussing exogenous money flows in crypto, it's crucial to highlight the difference between protocols that extract from their user base and those that inject outside capital into the ecosystem. Many top revenue-generating protocols (exchanges, casinos, etc.) take fees or a house edge from users but don't return value to the broader crypto ecosystem. They essentially cycle crypto wealth without any real external input.

$GRASS, on the other hand, breaks this mold by tapping into Web2 industries, like Fortune 500 companies and AI institutions, and bringing that external revenue into Web3. This outside cash injection can have a powerful impact, as even a small amount of Web2 money flowing into crypto can create significant value, similar to how memecoins thrive off Web2 "normie" money. But in $GRASS's case, we're talking about larger, more substantial deals—think data licensing worth millions or even 9-figure sums.

Here's a clearer breakdown:

Traditional protocols: Extract fees from crypto users without returning value.

$GRASS: Pulls money from Web2 clients (e.g., Fortune 500) and redistributes it into Web3 via buybacks.

The potential is huge because data licensing, particularly multimodal data (like video), is growing rapidly. Grass is collecting large volumes of this data and using it in ways that aren't reaching saturation yet. The founder's comments about 9-figure demand for their products point to a bright future.

This model could become more common in crypto as protocols realize the benefit of exogenous money flows. By tapping into growing Web2 markets, $GRASS might not just succeed but also elevate the entire Web3 space.
