Grass Unveils 2025 Roadmap: What You Need To Know

Grass unveiled an ambitious roadmap for 2025 after the decentralized platform transforming data scraping and distribution highlighted its monumental growth in 2024.

According to the company, its 2024 success set the stage for significant advancements this year coming year. It will focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and decentralized data processing.

The network stated in a post on X (Twitter) that “2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Grass,” setting the tone for its new roadmap. In its first founder seminar of 2025, Grass outlined several key initiatives for the year ahead.

“Grass is just getting started. After a year of scaling and breakthroughs, 2025 will push the limits of what is possible,” the announcement read.

Key highlights for the Grass 2025 roadmap include Multimodal Search. Specifically, the platform plans to semantically enable AI models to search for insights from video, audio, and text data in real time. Grass also plans new distribution methods to expand its reach through mobile and other platforms, simplifying user access and participation.

Beyond that, the platform will deprecate the Chrome extension, bringing on board a stronger and more efficient desktop node. Further, it will introduce horizontal scaling, a new product to scale its capabilities further, ensuring continued growth and innovation.

Another key highlight is the Sion Phase 1 Results. Grass platform aims to enhance network efficiency, achieving 60X faster data retrieval.

“In case you’re wondering – network activity has been reduced to near zero a couple of days after Sion phase 1 to give our storage partners some time to catch up. Nobody expected this level of capability this early on. Exciting times ahead,” Grass contributor and Wynd Network co-founder Andrej Radonjic said recently.

Despite the news of the 2025 roadmap, Grass network’s powering token, GRASS, is up only by a modest 2.5%. According to BeInCrypto data, it was trading for $2.82 as of this writing.

Meanwhile, the roadmap comes after an otherwise successful 2024 for the Grass network. In 2024, Grass experienced growth, increasing its user base from 200,000 to 3 million—a remarkable 15x expansion. Per the post, the platform recorded a 1000X increase in videos indexed and distributed over $196 million to more than 2.2 million users in 2024.

These achievements, coupled with its high-profile airdrop, elevated Grass’ position among peers in the decentralized applications (dApps) space.

Despite its success, Grass faced its share of controversies. The airdrop sparked community backlash over token distribution concerns, with many users alleging an uneven allocation of GRASS tokens. Furthermore, claims emerged about the platform blocking phantom wallet users from claiming their tokens, adding to the criticism.

These issues temporarily dented Grass’s reputation but ultimately did little to slow its growth trajectory. Three months ago, GRASS’s price surpassed $1 after its listing. This saw the platform dominate DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) trading volumes and further solidify its market position.
