Clipping Fund
Clippers
$1 per 1,000 verified views on approved clips.
Reach for the hunger cause and for the creators being clipped.
Views and pay are never guaranteed. Restaurant-funded creator videos pay from $50.
What rewards are not
Holding $EAT does not pay you
Not a share of fees
The 1% trading fee splits between hunger relief, the creator pool, liquidity and the platform. Holding $EAT pays you none of it.
Not guaranteed
There is no fixed or guaranteed amount for sharing, posting or driving sign-ups.
Not an investment return
Rewards pay for taking part: making and spreading content, bringing in members, spending with the card.
Rewards evolve. Confirm current programs, eligibility and payout schedules on EAT’s sites.
Questions
Does holding $EAT pay me anything?
No. Holding $EAT pays you no share of trading fees: the 1% fee splits between hunger relief, the creator pool, liquidity and the platform. Rewards on EAT pay for taking part.
How much do clippers earn?
$1 per 1,000 verified views on approved clips of EAT creators’ videos, paid from the $1M Clipping Fund. Views and pay are never guaranteed: pay follows verified views only.
When does clipping start?
In November 2026. The clipper terms are still a draft. Start at creators.eat.ong.
What do EAT Card members get?
eat.ong/card lists cash back at EAT restaurants, paid by the restaurant; referral rewards from $16 for 5+ referrals to $640 for 135+; and “2x rewards on every purchase” for the first 10,000 founding members. All are subject to program terms. See the EAT Card.
Are rewards guaranteed?
No. There is no fixed or guaranteed amount for sharing, posting or driving sign-ups. Rewards are compensation for approved contributions, not an investment return.
Is there a community rewards pool?
The whitepaper sets aside 20 billion $EAT for community rewards, vesting on meals-funded milestones. When and how that supply unlocks is unconfirmed, because WYDE’s documents describe two unlock schedules. See Tokenomics and fees.
What happened to the Telegram rewards app?
EAT’s rewards used to centre on weekly payouts in the Telegram app at app.eat.ong. That app was not responding on 5 November 2026. The programs on this page are the ones EAT runs today.
What WYDE has not confirmed yet
Where WYDE’s own sources differ or have not said. Each stays marked on this page until WYDE publishes one answer.
When the 20 billion $EAT community pool unlocks

- All 80 billion locked $EAT becomes available on December 17, 2026, after a one-year cliff. (Custody and treasury framework)
Both schedules are set out on Tokenomics and fees.
The full guide: rewards and bountiesEvery fact, with its source. Last checked November 5, 2026.Read it
On EAT, rewards pay for taking part: making and spreading content, bringing in members, spending with the card. They are not a share of trading fees and not a return on holding $EAT.
1. Clipping and creator programs
EAT's $1M Clipping Fund pays clippers $1 per 1,000 verified views on approved clips of EAT creators' videos. Creators who apply get their videos clipped and spread; restaurant-funded creator videos pay from $50. WYDE says the fund can grow from EAT Card spending, a share of $EAT trading fees (the creator pool) and sponsors.
- Clipping starts in November 2026, and the clipper terms are still a draft.
- Views and pay are never guaranteed: pay follows verified views only.
