The $EAT Cause: Case Study
$EAT is the first cause coin on WYDE, and the proof that the model works. If you want to understand what launching a cause on WYDE looks like end to end, study $EAT. This page is the map; the linked pages are the detail.
Hunger. Ends. Here.
Why hunger went first
Section titled “Why hunger went first”Hunger was chosen as the flagship because it has clear metrics and immediate relevance: you can count meals. That makes impact verifiable and the milestone vesting honest. Launched December 10, 2025 on Base, with Feed the Children as the national 501(c)(3) partner.
