A Simple Definition
WYDE is a decentralized exchange where trading activity automatically funds verified nonprofit organizations. When you buy or sell tokens on WYDE, a portion of the trading fees goes directly to charities working on causes like hunger relief, clean water, education, and more.
Think of it like shopping at a store where every purchase sends money to a good cause, except this happens with cryptocurrency trades. WYDE calls itself an "Impact Exchange" because the market activity itself creates social impact without requiring separate donations.
How WYDE Works
The Trading Fee Model
WYDE charges a dynamic fee between 1% and 5% on every trade. This fee gets split four ways:
-
25% goes to Cause Impact: Direct funding sent to nonprofit partners
-
25% goes to Holder Rewards: Distributed back as benefits to people who hold the tokens
-
25% goes to WYDE: Covers liquidity, marketing, and platform stability for all causecoins
-
25% goes to Infrastructure: Funds technical infrastructure
An additional 0.20% fee flows to the Clanker/Farcaster protocol that powers token deployment and distribution.
The Token Structure
Each cause on WYDE has its own token. For example:
-
$EAT funds hunger relief
-
$WATER supports clean water access
-
$KIDSCURE funds childhood cancer research and treatment
When someone trades $EAT, the fees generated flow automatically to hunger relief nonprofits like Feeding America or No Kid Hungry. The same logic applies to every cause token on the platform.
$EAT is the first token to launch on WYDE on December 10th, 2025.
Wyoming DUNA Governance
WYDE operates under Wyoming's Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) framework. This 2024 legal structure allows token holders to vote on which nonprofits receive funding and how much they get. Starting in 2026, $EAT holders will be able to:
-
Select which hunger relief organizations get funded
-
Approve quarterly distribution amounts
-
Set impact priorities
-
Review performance metrics
During the first year, WYDE and its founding charity partners set the initial agreements. This protects early partners while the community learns how to participate in governance.
