The 30-day Trade-to-Feed contest marks BitMart’s eighth anniversary and the exchange’s strategic listing of EAT, the first cause coin.
New York, United States, April 28, 2026, Chainwire – BitMart, a global cryptocurrency exchange serving millions of users worldwide, has launched the Trade-to-Feed contest, a 30-month trading competition offering up to $4.4 million USDT in trader rewards. This campaign coincides with BitMart’s eight-year milestone and the listing of EAT (WYDE: End Hunger), the first cause coin to be featured on a major centralized exchange.
Cause coins are a new type of digital asset designed so that a portion of trading fees automatically flows to charitable grant programs, alongside trader rewards. By making EAT its first cause coin listing and pairing it with the largest prize pool in BitMart’s history, the exchange is positioning itself at the forefront of an emerging category where financial activity directly generates tangible, real-world impact.
Running from April 28 to May 28, 2026, the Trade-to-Feed contest will distribute up to $4.4 million USDT across three simultaneous tracks:
Three concurrent competitions, 76,391 total chances to win.
The campaign features three reward tracks running at the same time, all funded from a single prize pool that grows with trading volume:
- Volume Leaderboard: Up to 73 traders will share the leaderboard pool based on their ranking, with the top trader winning as much as $2.2 million USDT (50% of the total prize pool).
- Power Drop: 75,500 reward tickets will be distributed during the campaign, each worth a flat $10 USDT. Any trader who completes $40 or more in EAT spot volume qualifies; tickets are allocated proportionally to trading volume.
- Lucky Drops: Up to 15 random USDT jackpots ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, drawn weekly and at the end of the campaign, with a cumulative pool of $435K at the $200M cap. Any trader who completes $2,000 or more in EAT spot volume qualifies.
Additionally, a Welcome Lucky Draw with a $5,000 USDT pool will be open to any new user who registers and completes a $5 USDT spot trade in EAT, with 803 winners selected across three tiers.

Where the food goes
Charitable distributions from this campaign are managed through WYDE’s two-pool allocation system. Half of the cause fees go to WYDE’s primary national hunger-relief partner, Feed the Kids, a global movement working to end childhood hunger since 1979 that distributes food, essentials, and disaster relief across the U.S. and ten countries. The other half is directed by EAT token holders through community voting on the Hunger Network, a public list of verified hunger-relief organizations available at www.eat.ong. Token holders guide funding to local food banks and partner organizations in their own communities during each voting round, which is the core purpose of EAT — giving holders governance over real charitable allocations, recorded on-chain and publicly verifiable.
“BitMart’s eighth year is the perfect moment to put real weight behind a direction we believe in,” said Chad Liang, EVP of BitMart. “Cause coins connect market activity to outcomes the world can see and measure. 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.”
“BitMart didn’t just list EAT. They named a category,” said Aaron Rafferty, Co-Founder of WYDE. “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.”
