📍Primus at @festival_web3 2026 Hong Kong
🚀 We’ve been building toward a more verifiable web where data, actions, and agents can all be proven, not just trusted.
Here’s where to find us 👇
People underestimate the scale of multimodal data pipelines that frontier AI labs require. There’s been a lot of talk about data saturation, but every week we’re seeing companies looking for the next order of magnitude, and choosing Grass to help them do this.
2025 has been about shipping. Here’s where Grass stands today:
Network
• 8.3M users have run an active node in the last 30 days.
• 1M+ concurrent user connections.
• Currently retrieving 3PB per day, driven by customer demand.
Infrastructure
• Storage system now running at 10% of hyperscaler cost with 2x the throughput capacity.
• Tape-based archival solution, built for 30-year durability, is 50-60% cheaper than hyperscalers’ cold storage tiers. Compute stack operating at up to 95% lower cost than cloud providers. These solutions provide full retrieval control, avoid vendor lock-in and also eliminate egress fees.
• Grasshopper hardware launching soon, designed to offer consistent uptime and throughput, strengthening reliability across the network.
Products
• Dataset catalog has grown to 4B+ multimodal files, 300M+ hours of audio, and trillions of tokens of text, with custom enrichments available across all datasets.
• Pre-configured industry datasets (finance, retail, staffing, AI) are being listed in data marketplaces for direct access.
• ClipTagger live on @inference_net and HuggingFace, outperforming larger models like Claude 4 and GPT-4.1 on standard annotation metrics like ROUGE and BLEU.
• Video search beta enables transcript, semantic, and keyframe-level discovery across billions of videos, currently in testing with enterprise and research partners.
• High-volume APIs (including SERP and web video retrieval) in development.
With these structures in place and continuously growing, Grass delivers the retrieval and processing of web-scale data with an efficiency, cost-effectiveness and speed that surpasses what centralized providers can deliver.
aPriori is excited to announce a $20M fundraise, bringing our total funding to $30M.
We’re building the intelligent order flow coordination layer so traders, liquidity providers, and validators win together.
Thank you to our investors and community.
The infrastructure for working with video data at scale barely exists. Grass Video Search is our first step in changing that.
You can now find anything in a video based on the contents of its frames, not just transcripts or tags.
Over the last several months, the Grass Foundation has quietly assembled one of the largest video datasets in history: over a billion videos from across the public web, and is segmenting them by scene with VLM annotations of keyframes. This dataset is now searchable, so you can find the exact moment a visual, pattern, or concept appears.
Curation has always been the bottleneck in video analysis. We built a system that automates it.
This is just the beginning. Over 4 billion additional videos are queued for processing, and the index is growing daily.
We’re opening access to a limited set of collaborators. If you’re a researcher, journalist, or nonprofit working with video, archives, or large-scale analysis, we’d love to hear from you.
@primus_labs improved upon Deco, opting for a garble-then-prove technique over maliciously secure 2PC. Demonstrated a 14x improvement in communication and up to a 15.5x improvement in runtime. Successfully implemented with real-world APIs like Coinbase and Twitter. In addition, Primus is working on a zkFHE solution that could allow for more complicated schemas in the future. Primus uses an extension and has an iOS/Android app coming soon.
$KAITO officially live -
happy to see people receiving theirs, regardless of if they sell, buy more, hold or stake
the good thing about airdrops is they can be both rewards and ways to align further with projects
it's only day 1 of $KAITO, but year 3 for Kaito - we will continue to build out our vision and invite all of you along the journey
importantly, we now have so much more to do towards building InfoFi and the role of $KAITO out, and I'm truly excited by the scope of what's ahead for everyone involved
there's more to be said, so will put out a longer post tomorrow, especially covering some of the questions
appreciate everyone

Excited to finally introduce @AltiusLabs to the world!
Over the past 7 years of building in both DeFi and CeFi, I’ve witnessed first-hand incredible progress—yet infrastructure challenges remain. We still face sky-high gas fees, network congestions under peak demand (yes thank you $trump), and the headaches of fragmented liquidity and UX as we juggle assets and wallets across multiple chains.
I dream of a future where:
- High-performance isn’t a luxury for a handful of
well-resourced blockchains but a baseline for our industry.
- App builders can easily spin up custom, app-specific infra that delivers Web2-level performance and connectivity.
- Cross-chain interoperability is baked into the protocol level, removing reliance on centralized bridges.
So when @0xChakra shared his vision—leveraging decades of experience building high-performance distributed systems for one of the best HFT firms, to create the exact solution we need—it instantly clicked.
That’s why we teamed up to build Altius: VM-agnostic, high-performance execution layers compatible with any chain, designed to futureproof blockchain infrastructure.
Altius is not another chain —it’s the foundation for a multi-chain future where on-chain use cases achieve Web2 parity. Let’s build together!
New network ATH: more than 1,000,000 GB scraped in a day.
In the last 24 hours, Grass has gathered more multi-modal data than a human brain will process in four decades.
Thrilled to share that we raised $2.5m to build the first chain-abstracted token launchpad. At Printr, we believe the token is the product. Allowing anyone to create a token on any chain or multiple chains democratizes access for the masses.
While at @Axelar, I saw firsthand the rapid acceleration of liquidity and user fragmentation. New chains are being launched every week, and this trend is only growing faster with the proliferation of RaaS providers and horizontal scaling. This means token issuers now need the capability to launch tokens on many chains to maximize access to users and liquidity.
With memecoins, maximizing growth means maximizing access to users and liquidity. I saw this with @OmniCatCoin, the first to reach over 200m market cap in a few hours. Its rapid growth was driven by uniting users from chains like Solana, ETH, and Base, discovering and trading it together. This created unprecedented momentum and distribution.
We believe the future of all memecoins will be omnichain. We already see it with leaders like @bonk_inu, @spx6900, @doge_eth_gov, and many others. With Printr, a new paradigm is unlocked - memecoins will be omnichain right from launch, giving them more momentum and growth.
Another problem I saw was the countless coins with the same ticker across different chains. @neiro is a prime example of this problem. After the first Neiro launched on Solana, there were clones on ETH, Base, BNB, etc. These were utterly different tokens other than by name. Clones took advantage of siloed users and liquidity, created a terrible UX, and often led to people getting rugged. Printr solves this by letting creators launch tokens on many chains simultaneously with built-in bridging.
What if there is a no-code platform that lets anyone launch tokens on any chain or omnichain in a few clicks? That's what we are here to build - a platform where anyone can seamlessly create, discover, and trade tokens on any chain. Tokenization is a trillion-dollar opportunity, and we're looking for degens to join us for the ride.
