Video: The Road to a Billion Meals, Part 2: Where the Locked Coins Go | wyde.org

In Part 1, we showed how $EAT unlocks coins by funding real meals, a kind of proof of impact. This raised a fair question: when those coins unlock, where do they go, and what are they for? The honest answer starts by reframing the question. That worry usually comes from picturing $EAT like a stock you hold for its price. It isn't. $EAT is the governance token of a decentralized network whose whole purpose is funding meals. So the real question isn't what a slice is worth. It's what unlocking this capital lets the network do. Here's what's true. There are exactly 100 billion $EAT, forever, and no one can ever make more, so unlocking opens what already exists rather than printing anything new. Most of it was locked from day one and only opens in steps, and every step has to be earned by funding a large milestone of real meals first. When a portion unlocks, it's mission fuel, directed to the work: more capital for nonprofit partners, rewards for the community growing the network, the community-governed treasury, and the builders, who reach their portion only by hitting those same proven-impact milestones. And the community governs all of it. Unlocking isn't an inevitable flood. The network can even vote to keep coins locked longer and extend the road. It's all part of WYDE moving toward full decentralization, where the community holds the control and the resources. An unlock isn't a financial event. It's the network earning the ability to do more of its mission. ▶ Watch Part 1 first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX6dF6K1FfM ▶ Learn how the network works: https://wyde.org ▶ Read the full breakdown: https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/what-is-a-duna ABOUT $EAT $EAT is the governance token of the WYDE network and the engine that funds meals. People hold $EAT to take part in and help govern the network, not as an investment. The supply is fixed permanently at 100 billion, and the large locked portion unlocks only as the network funds verified meals milestones, with the community governing where unlocked supply goes. Everything is publicly verifiable. WYDE is a decentralized network and nonprofit building new infrastructure for funding causes, starting with hunger. WYDE Association holds 501(c)(4) status as a Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA), and the network is built to move toward full decentralization over time, governed by its community.
