Soon on Touch Grass: Crypto Drops at random spots around the world.
Thanks for the idea, Matteo.
Today we hide real stocks like TSLA, AAPL and NVDA at real stores. Walk there, tap, and they're yours. Next, it's crypto's turn.
Which coin would you want to find first?
The Touch Grass iOS app is done. Here’s a first look.
We’re submitting it to the App Store review very soon. Once Apple gives the green light, anyone with an iPhone can walk outside and start catching stocks, no wallet needed.
iPhone people, start stretching your legs.
Touch Grass is about to go global.
sorry for how quiet the account has been lately. we’re a small team for now and we have a lot to handle, but we’re shipping, as you can see.
there’s been a lot of noise around us. we don’t pay attention to insults or FUD. the chart also follows volume across all of Robinhood Chain, so putting all the blame on us isn’t fair.
(another big announcement is coming tonight on @TouchGrassRWA)
5 new updates just went live on Touch Grass.
• PnL cards: everything you've ever caught, priced at today's close. Cost basis: your legs. One tap to post it.
• Buy the dip, literally: when a stock closes 3% down, its balloons fall to the sidewalk and you can catch them from 60 m instead of 40. Friday, $GME closed +5.06%, so its balloons are still floating.
• The relay: one full share of $NVDA ($229) is waiting at the Apple Store on the Champs-Élys��es. Carry it from person to person, 48h each, 50 km minimum per hand. Whoever sets it down in London keeps it.
• The certificate: a photo of your hand on real grass, checked by a machine. Astroturf gets refused. One a day, keep your streak going.
• Verified human: meet another player IRL and scan their code. If one of you is verified, you both are. Bots can't shake hands.
Which one are you trying first?
yes, a lot of hours went into these updates
every new feature also comes with new ways people can try to exploit it, so there’s a lot testing happening on the background.
build it → test it → find the bugs → fix them → test again.
over and over
Proof of Presence is much bigger than tokenized stocks on the map.
And there are 3 features live in the app right now that most of you haven’t explored yet:
1) Store Receipts
Buy something from one of the 40 supported brands: Apple, Tesla, Starbucks, Nike, IKEA, Zara, McDonald’s and others.
Scan your receipt in the app and it becomes a brand-specific token.
A proof of purchase on the blockchain forever.
e.g.
Apple receipt → Apple branded token.
McDonald's receipt → McDonald's branded token.
2) In-store stickers
Physical stores can have a TouchGrass QR sticker at the checkout.
Scan it, leave an honest review about the place and you unlock a boost for the day:
→ One extra catch or a shorter cooldown for the next catch.
3) Catching drops videos
Record your catch, post it on X tagging @TouchGrassRWA, then paste the link back into the app.
That catch pays 3x, with the extra reward capped at $25.
Limited to once a day.
None of this is on a roadmap. It's live on the app now...
But here's the part that matters.
A store receipt, a service/product review, a spontaneous video or a reward you collected: they are all different ways of proving that a real person interacted with a real place.
That’s what Proof of Presence is actually about.
Much more valuable than tokenized stocks drops here and there…
Stocks were simply the first reward layer we introduced.

🧵
Over the last 17 days, the team has been working around the clock to push Touch Grass forward.
And we are very proud of everything we have achieved so far...
But Touch Grass will never be a finished job.
It demands constant attention from the developers, especially when dealing with RWA/Rewards.
Also, Proof of Presence is not an easy concept to build. (especially when building live in front of the whole world to see...)
There are many security layers that need to be aligned for everything to work smoothly on your end.
And sometimes they crash, bugs come out and we are running to get every one of them fixed/patched, but understand there is too much work and although we are currently a small team, we are moving fast...
Now, we know the community expects updates and information on what is happening, so we want to share everything the team worked on over the last 7 days and what you can expect from us this week. 🧵
anyone can do this right now. pick a spot, fund it, put your name on it. people will walk there
people are starting to get what Touch Grass can actually do
Wizard of soho sets up a bunch of stock tokens on @TouchGrassRWA at Ketchy Shuby in NYC
“You can go and get 0.013 of $TSLA stock just by going to this location.”
“I can do stocks that exist, I can put my own token, I can give tokens.”
“I can have you guys go get free drinks and coffee there.”
“I’m actually going to be in New York City this weekend for Fashion Week, so I’m going to set up a bunch of these in New York.”
tokenized stocks just went from a crypto experiment to something regulated in the us. that changes who's allowed to play
we've been building for exactly this: walking somewhere and owning a piece of the company, for anyone, not just crypto people
13 days. Not even two weeks.
That’s how young TouchGrass still is.
Since then:
🌎163 cities across 58 countries are now on the map
📍48,547 drops caught by 34,534 wallets
📈Around $160,000 worth of tokenized stocks distributed at today’s prices.
🔥15 total burns done
🔥27.28 ETH burned / 15.6M $GRASS destroyed forever!
And every single catch is verifiable on-chain at https://t.co/bZ5FgGFXH4.
Now... what’s coming next?
🍎 iOS support for iPhone users (soon)
🤝 Potential partnerships with several well-known names across the crypto industry, inc. events
🌎 More cities, countries and new locations
📈 More stocks and assets to collect (including crypto tokens)
🌱 And a lot more around our Proof of Presence vision
But we also want to enphasize everyone of something important:
TouchGrass is only 13 days old guys.
The vision we have for this project is much bigger than what you see today and bringing that vision to life takes a lot of time and work, fellas.
This is not a memecoin that bundles teams pump to $20M market cap in one day and will be forgotten a week later. Hell no!
We are building something serious.
We are not going away tomorrow or next week.
Our team is fully committed to the project.
We’re working around the clock, late hours, weekends...sleeping 3 hours a night. It hasnt been easy.
But judging by the level of partners we are talking to... some very serious people are paying attention to this project... all interested in the potential of Proof of Presence.
So if we’re a little quiet on social media for a day or two, don’t worry. We have our heads down, working, fixing bugs, analysing new cities to be introduced, on calls with potential partners. This all takes time guys.
Now ask yourself:
In the upcoming bull run, would you rather hold a real-world project with big upside that keeps building and delivering, or jump every day into the next memecoin runner?
We know what we’re building. 🌱
One last question for the community:
Which brands would you like to see as a stock drop so we can begin new drops at their stores?
Let us know here and join the Discord Channel if you havent already.

Touch Grass isn't tied to robinhood chain. that's where we started and where we're building
we're going multichain, and further down the line the chain should be invisible to whoever is walking
proof of presence should work for everyone
so many ideas coming to touchgrass, can't wait for you to see what's cooking. the people around us keep getting better. the devs haven't stopped once
touchgrass will be one of the biggest on robinhood. just a matter of time.
the kind of post that actually pushes us forward. taking notes, some really good ideas in there. thank you
the stocks are just the first reward type. proof of presence is the actual product, big things coming
My $GRASS Thesis. 🧵 (READ IT ALL)
Most people havent really understood the real potential behind all TouchGrass and how it can integrate RWA and web3.
All they are thinking right now is the tokenized stocks.
The core idea, that most are overlooking, is Proof of Presence: verify that a real person physically reached a place, then unlock a real value reward.
And the use cases are almost endless... for example:
• IKEA → visit the store, unlock 5% off at the cashier
• Coffee shops/restaurants → $5 cashback for all orders or special product
• Crypto protocols → token hunts around the city
• Hotels → exclusive drops/rewards only for guests
• Museums → discounted or free entry drops
• Events → tickets hidden around cities
• Gyms/wellness → free trials, classes
• Tourism boards/city halls → rewards for visiting historic sites
• Sports teams → collectibles for attending games
• Shopping centers → rewards for visiting stores or completing a mall route.
• Product launches → 10,000 Coca-Cola samples or a new cinnamon bun brand dropped across selected locations
• Everest / Mont Blanc / Seven Wonders → permanent “I was here” collectibles
• Formula 1 → race attendance collectibles
• EV Chargers→ discount on charging for low usage locations
• Marathons → verified finisher badges
• Yosemite / national parks → scavenger hunts across trails
• Mystery / flash drops → mystery boxes appearing somewhere for a few hours
Tokenized stocks are just the first beginning.
Project was launched 5 days ago and you have no patience to wait. This project can take months or years to mature and develop.
Pokémon GO proved people will move great distances for digital objects. We've all seen that...
This is just an natural evolution of that model...
If these guys get this done right, the potential is unlimited.
