The Impact Exchange
The Impact Exchange is the core of the WYDE platform: a decentralized exchange where a fee on every trade is routed on-chain to verified nonprofit work. It is the mechanism that makes a cause coin fund its mission.

The fee
Section titled “The fee”- Every trade pays a 1% fee, taken in ETH, collected automatically by the smart contract.
- It routes on-chain to a set of cause and treasury Safes, verifiable by anyone on Base (basescan.org).
- Conversion benchmark: a conservative $1 = 5 meals for the hunger cause.
For the full supply, vesting, and liquidity mechanics, see Tokenomics & Fees.
Why it is different
Section titled “Why it is different”- No donation ask. Funding is a byproduct of normal market activity.
- On-chain and auditable. Every fee and disbursement is verifiable.
- Permanent liquidity. A cause coin’s liquidity is seeded and the LP burned, so it can never be pulled. See Tokenomics & Fees.
