THIS WEEK AT A GLANCE

New here? WYDE turns attention into meals. A restaurant gives food. A creator shares it on camera. People eat.

CREATORS: LAST DAY TO APPLY

A crowd of real EAT fund applicants behind a long table of their own food, with one empty seat marked @YOU

Every face and every plate here is a real frame from a creator who applied, used with their consent.

Last call. EAT pays to spread the videos of creators who help feed people.

  • Applications close tonight, October 31, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific.

  • Creators who applied report 96 million combined followers. The fund targets 1 billion impressions. That is $1 million at $1 per 1,000 verified views.

  • It is an application, like a venture fund. Content and fit count. Follower count does not.

WHAT EAT CREATORS GET

  • Clipped from day one. Clipping starts in November. EAT clippers cut your posts for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X. The fund pays the clippers. You pay nothing. You can earn from views too.

  • A spot on the EAT creator board. Restaurants and brands come to the top of the board first.

  • Your fans get paid to clip you. They earn on verified views.

  • Keep every deal you have. EAT is non-exclusive.

Your videos may already fit. Level 1 is hunger awareness, in the content you already make. No eligible video yet? Apply anyway.

AI AND HEALTH

"Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory)."

Greg Brockman, OpenAI, on X

FRAUD AND MONEY

"This is the biggest crypto hack in history."

Ido Ben-Natan, Blockaid, to CoinDesk

More in fraud and money

FOR RESTAURANTS: GIVE MEALS, GET SEEN

  • A creator films at your restaurant and shares your food with the community.

  • Each clip shows your restaurant giving.

  • You can claim a food donation receipt from the WYDE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.

IMAGINE IF TRADES MATTERED

$EAT is the first token that funds creators to end hunger. All trades fund creators.

  • Every $EAT trade carries a 1 percent fee, split four ways: creators, hunger-relief charities, liquidity and the platform.

  • Creators are paid for work. They do not need to buy, hold or promote the token.
