Good morning, creators.
The $1 million clipping fund is still open. Eligible creators hear back by email by November 14.
This week EAT sorted every creator video into four levels and put one sticker on all of them. And X now lets clippers earn on clips too.
Help feed people. Build your future.
396 creators applied | 116M network followers | $1 per 1,000 verified views |
THIS WEEK AT A GLANCE
The fund: an X clip of an EAT video could pay twice. Applications are still open.
Hunger: a USDA rule would remove 6.3 million people from SNAP.
Giving: Novo Nordisk committed $200 million to diabetes care.
Health: Congo passed 11,000 Ebola cases.
Money: the DOJ moved to seize more than $1.2 billion stolen from Binance.
New here? WYDE turns attention into meals. A restaurant gives food. A creator shares it on camera. People eat.
CREATORS: THE FUND IS STILL OPEN
The fund still takes applications. EAT says content that ends hunger is going to be the most valuable content in the world. Every EAT video now fits one of four levels and carries one sticker: Everybody EATs.
No deadline yet. Applications are open. Eligible creators hear back by email by November 14. Clipping starts in November.
396 creators have applied, with 116 million network followers, self-reported. The fund covers up to 1 billion views. That is $1 million at $1 per 1,000 verified views.
It is an application, like a venture fund. Applying is not acceptance. EAT reviews each applicant's videos.
New this week: X now lets clippers and creators earn from clips. Once EAT can read X views, one clip on X could be paid by X and by the fund.
WHAT EAT CREATORS GET
Clipped from day one. EAT clippers cut your posts for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X. The fund pays the clippers. You pay nothing.
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 talking about hunger or EAT, in the content you already make. No eligible video yet? Apply anyway.
Two EAT videos to learn from
 Six pizzas, one skatepark. A pizzeria gives a creator six free pizzas. |  Lunch with a stranger. A restaurant pays the bill for a man she just met. |
"Everybody EATs. You help feed people. We help grow your audience."
Applying takes two minutes and costs nothing. EAT does not promise earnings, views or followers. Read how clips could pay twice →
THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER
"This move by the Trump administration to take food assistance away from millions more elderly Americans and children is heartless and cruel."
USDA proposed a rule that would remove an estimated 6.3 million people from SNAP. That is about 17.5% of enrollment.
What to watch: the rule would end broad-based categorical eligibility, used in 46 states. Public comment is open for 30 days.

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.
