DePIN project Grass is raising $10 million in bridge financing, with participation from Polychain and Tribe Capital

DePIN project Grass is raising $10 million in bridge financing, with participation from Polychain and Tribe Capital

PANews reported on October 8th that, according to Blockworks, the Solana Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) project, Grass, is raising $10 million in a bridge financing round. This follows the project's previous seed and Series A funding rounds. Andrej Radonjic of Grass revealed to Blockworks that Polychain and Tribe Capital participated in this bridge round, which primarily involved token purchases. The Grass team is reportedly looking to prepare for the transition from training computation cycles to inference, with the ultimate goal of achieving "internet-scale web crawler" operations, which will enable them to build real-time contextual retrieval capabilities.

Altcoin Listed on Major Exchanges Announces Significant Investment: Falling Price Drops Further

Altcoin Listed on Major Exchanges Announces Significant Investment: Falling Price Drops Further

The post Altcoin Listed on Major Exchanges Announces Significant Investment: Falling Price Drops Further appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grass (GRASS), the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) project operating within the Solana ecosystem, raised $10 million in a bridge investment round led by Polychain Capital and Tribe Capital. The investment primarily consisted of token purchases. Grass has previously closed both a seed and Series A funding round. The project aims to allow users to sell their idle internet bandwidth, allowing data to be shared under user control rather than being collected by large corporations for profit. The GRASS price, already declining, fell even further following the announcement. Grass co-founder Andrej Radonjic said in a statement, “Grass is a piece of technology that gives companies access to data at an unprecedented scale. The possibilities that can be built upon it are virtually endless. We plan to develop new solutions, especially around live context.” According to Radonjic, AI companies currently scrape data to train their models, often using search engines. However, this method is limited by scalability and access barriers. Grass offers an alternative infrastructure that provides internet-scale data access. *This is not investment advice.

Solana generated $2.85 billion in revenue over the past year, according to a new report from 21Shares, driven by trading platform activity. Between October 2024 and September 2025, Solana averaged about $240 million in monthly revenue, peaking at $616 million in January during the memecoin boom led by tokens like Official Trump (TRUMP). But even after the frenzy cooled, monthly revenue was between $150 million and $250 million.Solana validators earn revenue from fees on transactions. Over the past year, revenue from fees flowed from across the ecosystem, including decentralized finance (DeFi), memecoins, AI apps, decentralized exchanges, DePIN, launchpads and trading tools.Read more

DePIN Grass raises $10M from Polychain, Tribe Capital

DePIN Grass raises $10M from Polychain, Tribe Capital

The post DePIN Grass raises $10M from Polychain, Tribe Capital appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grass, the Solana DePIN project, is raising $10 million in a bridge raise, Blockworks has exclusively learned.  The project previously raised both a seed and a Series A round.  The decentralized AI project which allows folks to sell access to idle internet bandwidth — essentially giving you more power to hand over your data rather than having a large company scrape it for profit.  Polychain and Tribe Capital participated in the bridge round, which is primarily a token purchase, Grass’s Andrej Radonjic told Blockworks. “Grass is a piece of technology that allows companies to access data at an unprecedented scale,” Radonjic said when asked why Grass was interested in a token purchase.  “The possibilities are kind of endless in terms of the directions that you’re able to go. And there are multiple things that we think are vital to build on top of this, namely live context retrieval.” He further explained that, at this moment, the way AI companies are training their models is to scrape search engines such as Google. However, they can’t deploy internet-scale web crawls because they’re being blocked, but Grass offers a solution.  Grass wasn’t necessarily actively looking to raise at the moment, Radonjic said, but it happened at the right time for the team.  “I was mentioning that commercially, things are going really well, and…we’re seeing amazing growth in terms of selling training data to AI companies that are looking to train things like video models and text to speech models,” he said.  “But I had mentioned that one of the things that we’re looking forward to over the next year to two years…[is actually] having Grass become infrastructure for not just training data, but also inference data.” There’ll be a shift from compute cycles on training to inference, and the Grass team wants to…

Solana’s $2.85B Revenue Rivals Palantir, Robinhood Amid Waning Memecoin Craze

Solana’s $2.85B Revenue Rivals Palantir, Robinhood Amid Waning Memecoin Craze

The post Solana’s $2.85B Revenue Rivals Palantir, Robinhood Amid Waning Memecoin Craze appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana’s network continues to show unexpected resilience, according to new research from Matt Mena, a crypto research strategist at 21Shares. In a blog post published Monday, Mena said Solana generated roughly $2.85 billion in annual revenue from October 2024 through September 2025, cementing its position as one of crypto’s fastest-growing blockchain economies. He described the revenue as “remarkably strong,” even as the speculative memecoin frenzy that drove early-year trading volumes has cooled. Mena attributed Solana’s strength to its broad mix of activity. He said decentralized exchanges, trading tools, lending apps, wallets, and emerging sectors like DePIN and AI-driven applications all contributed meaningfully to network fees and usage. While trading tools such as Photon and Axiom led the way — collectively generating about $1.12 billion, or 39% of total revenue — Mena emphasized that Solana’s value now comes from its diversity rather than a single trend. Even after the peak months of late 2024, Mena noted that Solana’s monthly revenues have stabilized between $150 million and $250 million, suggesting sustained demand for blockspace and activity beyond speculative surges. He compared the network’s total revenue to Palantir’s $2.8 billion and Robinhood’s $2.95 billion in 2024, saying Solana is “approaching the scale of major Web2 platforms.” Mena also contrasted Solana’s position with Ethereum’s earlier stage of development. He said that four to five years after launch — roughly where Solana is now — Ethereum averaged less than $10 million per month in revenue, highlighting how quickly Solana has monetized onchain usage. He credited the blockchain’s high throughput, low transaction fees, and growing ecosystem for accelerating adoption. According to Mena, Solana’s evolution reflects a shift from resilience to readiness. He pointed to upcoming technical upgrades such as Firedancer and Alpenglow that aim to enhance speed and scalability, adding that these advances could position Solana…
