BitMart launches $EAT Trade-to-Feed contest with $4.4M rewards

BitMart launched a 30-day Trade-to-Feed competition that runs April 28 through May 28, 2026, offering up to $4.4 million USDT in trader rewards. The event coincides with the exchange’s eighth anniversary and the listing of $EAT, a cause coin issued by WYDE.

Prizes are drawn from a single pool that grows with trading volume and are distributed across three concurrent tracks. The Volume Leaderboard divides the largest share among up to 73 ranked traders; first place is eligible to receive as much as $2.2 million USDT, equal to 50% of the total prize pool.

The Power Drop issues 75,500 tickets, each worth $10 USDT. Any trader who completes at least $40 in $EAT spot volume during the competition qualifies for tickets, which are allocated proportionally to participants’ volume.

Lucky Drops will deliver up to 15 random USDT jackpots ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, drawn weekly and at the close of the event. At a $200 million trading-volume cap, the cumulative Lucky Drops pool is $435,000; eligibility requires at least $2,000 in $EAT spot volume. A separate Welcome Lucky Draw reserves a $5,000 USDT pool for new users who register and complete a $5 USDT spot trade in $EAT; 803 winners will be selected across three tiers. In total, the campaign provides 76,391 chances to win across its prize mechanisms.

Charitable fees from trading during the campaign are handled by WYDE Association’s two-pool allocation model. Fifty percent of cause fees go to WYDE’s national grant partner, Feed the Children, which distributes food, essentials and disaster relief in the United States and ten other countries. The remaining fifty percent is directed by $EAT token holders through community voting on the Hunger Network at eat.ong. WYDE says all distributions are recorded on-chain and publicly verifiable.

$EAT launched on the WYDE Impact Exchange on Base on December 10, 2025. WYDE reports that the token has funded the equivalent of more than 25,000 meals to date.

Chad Liang, BitMart’s executive vice president, commented, “Listing $EAT and committing the largest competition in our history to it is how we mark this anniversary: by helping define what comes next, not just trading what already exists.” Aaron Rafferty, co-founder of WYDE, added, “A global exchange recognizing cause coins as a strategic priority is a structural moment. Every dollar of organic volume in the Trade-to-Feed competition also funds meals. That is the proof point.”

BitMart, founded in 2018, operates a global digital-asset trading platform with more than 1,700 trading pairs and a low-fee structure. WYDE is a Wyoming 501(c)(4) nonprofit that runs the Impact Exchange, where transaction-based fees fund verified hunger-relief organizations through charitable grants.

BitMart and WYDE cautioned that digital-asset trading carries substantial risk and that sweepstakes mechanics do not guarantee winning.
