Card FAQ
Answers based on the official $EAT Card page. Confirm anything time-sensitive (dates, waitlist counts) against the live page.
Do I need to know anything about crypto to use the card?
Section titled “Do I need to know anything about crypto to use the card?”No. The card is built so you can spend normally while the on-chain mission infrastructure handles the rest.
Is it a credit card?
Section titled “Is it a credit card?”No. It is a debit card. You spend what you load, with no contracts and no cancellation fees.
When is the card available?
Section titled “When is the card available?”The card goes live the week of June 1, 2026 and is currently in waitlist. Confirm the current date at eat.ong/card.
How does spending fund meals?
Section titled “How does spending fund meals?”A share of every transaction is automatically directed to hunger-relief charities (Feeding America food banks), with nothing extra for you to do.
How do community rewards work?
Section titled “How do community rewards work?”The organization’s revenue from card spending funds a community bounty pool. Community members may receive rewards with real cash value (with the option to be denominated in $EAT), based on their approved contributions, and subject to program availability and terms. The pool powers clipping campaigns (creating and sharing clips that promote ending hunger and bring in new members), which are gated to community members.
There is no fixed or guaranteed reward amount for sharing or driving sign-ups at this time. Rewards are compensation for approved contributions, not an investment return. See the card page.
Are my deposits safe?
Section titled “Are my deposits safe?”Deposits qualify for up to $3,000,000 in FDIC insurance through the i3 Bank sweep program.
