WYDE terms
13 terms- WYDE
- A platform that funds causes from everyday activity, such as trading a cause's coin and spending with its card, and pays the people who help the cause grow. The name stands for the Wyoming Decentralized Exchange.
- Impact Exchange
- WYDE's exchange, where a fee on every trade of a cause coin is routed on-chain to the cause and the people who spread it, rather than relying on separate donations.
- Cause coin
- A cause-specific token on WYDE, tied to a mission and a cause treasury. $EAT is the first, and so far the only one live.
- EAT
- The first ecosystem on WYDE, for hunger: the $EAT token, the EAT Card, and EAT's programs for creators and restaurants. Its idea is "Everybody EATs."
- $EAT
- EAT's token and the first cause coin. Its on-chain name is "WYDE: End Hunger".
- EAT Card
- A Visa debit card (the EAT Per-Diem Card) that funds the cause from card fees stores already pay. No crypto knowledge needed.
- Clipping
- Cutting and posting short clips of EAT creators' videos. Clippers are paid $1 per 1,000 verified views on approved clips, from the $1M Clipping Fund.
- Creator pool
- The quarter of each $EAT trading fee that WYDE says goes to creators: it pays for clips that spread the cause.
- Hunger Network
- EAT's public network for hunger relief: a directory where people find help and organizations claim listings, plus the community pool that is set aside for groups chosen by community vote.
- Meals funded
- The hunger-relief share of fees, in dollars when earned, times 5. It counts meals funded, not meals delivered.
- Hunger Cup
- A 16-country bracket competition where retweets and trade volume fund a meal pot for food-security nonprofits.
- eat.ong
- EAT's home on the web: the Hunger Network directory, the card, creator and restaurant programs, and the meal counter.
