WYDE (Wyoming Decentralized Exchange) is building the first "New York Stock Exchange for Nonprofits," utilizing the newly minted DUNA (Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association) legal framework to turn market volatility into a weapon for good. This could be the end of "Disaster Capitalism".
Listen to the talk by WYDE Co-founders Aaron Rafferty and Martin Simms in which they explain the WYDE Impact Exchange's mission and how they plan to turn Speculative Trading into reliable income to fund Social Safety Nets.

For decades, the term "Disaster Capitalism" has described the way large-scale corporations and private interests profit from crises—from reconstruction post-earthquake to global food shortages. But in 2026, a new movement emerging from the high plains of Wyoming is flipping the script.
Instead of profit extracted from disaster, WYDE (Wyoming Decentralized Exchange) and its flagship token EAT are using the inherent energy of financial markets to fund the solutions.
The "LLC of the 21st Century"
The breakthrough isn't just in the code; it’s in the law. In 1977, Wyoming pioneered the LLC. In 2024, they did it again by creating the DUNA (Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association).
"The DUNA is a legal personhood for a digital community," explained Rob Bringman during a recent investor presentation in Dallas. Unlike traditional corporate structures where fees are swallowed by overhead and executive bonuses, the DUNA framework allows WYDE to operate as a transparent, blockchain-led entity. It provides legal protection for token holders while ensuring the organization’s primary purpose is social impact, not just shareholder enrichment.
EAT: Speculation with a Soul
The first project to launch on the WYDE "rails" is EAT, a token dedicated to ending hunger. The mechanics are a radical departure from traditional charity:
-
Trading as the Engine: Every time the EAT token is traded on an exchange, a fee (typically 1%) is triggered.
