Cause Coins

A cause coin is a token on the WYDE platform tied to a specific mission and a verified nonprofit treasury. Trading it funds the cause; holding it aligns you with the cause. $EAT (hunger) is the first cause coin. More cause verticals are planned under the same infrastructure.

What makes the model distinctive

Section titled “What makes the model distinctive”
  • Impact-based vesting. Supply unlocks as the cause hits cumulative, verifiable impact milestones (for $EAT, meals funded), not on calendar dates. So the team, nonprofit partners, community rewards, and treasury all vest on the same variable, everyone is aligned on doing more good.
  • Permanent liquidity. Liquidity is seeded and the LP token burned, so it can never be withdrawn.
  • Automatic funding. The Impact Exchange fee routes funding on-chain with no donation ask.
  • A full go-to-market. Each cause can plug into the card, the app, campaign formats like the Hunger Cup, and Foundation grants.

See how this is implemented for the flagship in Tokenomics & Fees.

One platform, many causes

Section titled “One platform, many causes”

$EAT proves the model on hunger. The same rails are designed to host additional causes (clean water, education, and more), each with its own coin, treasury, and verified partners. See Future Causes.
