WYDE fam,
Quick update because there's a lot happening.
Last Wednesday we launched $EAT – the first cause coin that automatically feeds hungry Americans with every trade. In 9 days, it's up 1,300% and has funded 480 meals.
Our mission: 1 billion meals. $40 traded (bought or sold) = 1+ meal.

WYDE on ‘Disruptors for Good’ Podcast
Martin and Aaron sat down with Grant from Disruptors for Good to break down what WYDE is building and why it matters. Worth a listen if you want the full picture (more about the founding members at the end).
We Locked 80% of Supply and Announced Our Plan for Unlocks, Community Rewards, Buybacks, and ‘Our Why’
This post explains the structure, who does what, and where we're headed and you can verify everything onchain.
The Market
$EAT is moving up while crypto is sideways or down. Why? When something is built around real utility and actual impact, it holds differently. We're not riding hype. We're funding meals. The market is starting to notice.
Biggest News in Philanthropy: Mr. Beast x Rockefeller Foundation
Beast Philanthropy just partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation. The creator economy is officially merging with institutional philanthropy. This is exactly what we've been building toward (WYDE is the layer that sits below all).
One of our primary objectives is to partner with a Tier 1 creator (or Agency) by Q1 2026.
Cause Partner Conversations
We're in active discussions with major nonprofits. They're telling us directly: traditional funding has gotten brutally difficult. Donor fatigue is real. Grant cycles are unpredictable. What we're offering is a funding source that doesn't require asking anyone to give anything away.
Feed the Children – In review with legal. Final stages.
Second Harvest Food Bank Orange County – Next step is to tour their facility and bring on a stakeholder to champion the project internally.
Girls Who Code – Met with internal and external legal teams. Next steps mapped out with a target of Q1 launch.
Robinhood.org – Meeting with some of their investors and traders within the organization to configure a mechanism specifically for New York City.
Lagos Food Bank Initiative – Straightforward partnership. Ready to go when we expand internationally.
The $EAT Thesis: Feeding the World
Every meal funded is caloric energy delivered to someone who needs it.
BTC is digital gold.
ETH is digital oil.
EAT is digital food.
Memes of the Week
Trump announced "Patriot Games" and the internet thought it was Hunger Games. HBO Max removed Hunger Games from their platform. Chaos. But you know what actually ends hunger? Trading $EAT
