The honest state
Section titled “The honest state”The briefing is candid about the pullback: aggregate on-chain volume is down roughly 78% from its peak, and $EAT’s thin float (80% of supply locked) makes it move harder than most in both directions. What has not moved: liquidity that can never be pulled (burned single-sided LP), a meal counter that only climbs, and a fully intact treasury. The summer’s launches are all about distribution.
