A bad airdrop doesn't just waste tokens. It tanks sentiment, floods your cap table with farmers, and sets the wrong tone at launch. Kraken 360 works with @magna_digital so this doesn’t happen to our partners. There's a better way to do distribution: kraken.com/institutions/k…









New Chapter for WIDI begins now. Rebranding ahead & sunsetting $WIDI TL;DR $WIDI will no longer be the core token across our products. Our app, existing & upcoming products, team, roadmap, and long-term vision remain fully active. To stay aligned with what’s next, our community can burn their $WIDI tokens to be considered for future allocations. Burn deadline: February 20, 2026 Burn link: burn.widit.fun WHY? Over time, we reached a clear and honest conclusion: We couldn’t define token utility in a way that genuinely reflected the real value of our products. As a result, the token’s market dynamics and our product progress started to diverge and we don’t believe that’s healthy for builders or for the community. WIDI has never been about short-term narratives or token-first decisions. It’s always been about shipping, iterating fast, and building long-term on Solana. We’re entering a bigger phase fully focused on DEFAI starting with our upcoming prediction markets & AI integrations. To do that right, we’re moving toward a cleaner, more flexible capital structure giving us full optionality to stay bootstrapped, raise strategically, or explore acquisitions after the rebrand. Burning your tokens keeps you eligible for future allocations tied to what comes next. This update is about alignment. WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR? Before & since the launch of $WIDI, we’ve: - Received over-limit grants from Solana Foundation - Led Blinks ecosystem with our first of its kind tools - Built an App on Seeker and shipped real products with thousands of active users, generating over $2M in in-app volume so far. (actively being used) - Airdropped to multiple Solana communities, starting with Seeker holders - Reached sustainable revenue levels that cover our operational costs WHAT'S CHANGING? - All existing products, App will continue to be developed, nothing changes - $WIDI will no longer have product-level utility and won’t be the core token of our ecosystem - We’re moving forward with a rebrand (details soon) New products are coming, starting with prediction markets (launching this week) Our focus remains 100% on WIDI. This is not a f. step back. This is us doubling down. 🤝 LOYALTY MATTERS We deeply care about our loyal holders and believers. We couldn’t have come this far without them. This applies to anything we launch going forward. To remain part of the WIDI ecosystem and be considered for future opportunities, holders may choose to burn their $WIDI tokens. Burned tokens will be tracked via an on-chain snapshot of participating wallets. This snapshot may be used for potential future allocations, including: - Equity considerations - Strategic upside from fundraising or acquisition scenarios - Potential token distribution Important notes: - Allocation size (X%) will depend entirely on future capital structure - More burned = higher proportional consideration - If you’re not a holder yet, purchasing and burning tokens before the deadline will also make you eligible. - Long-time holders who participate in the burn will receive additional benefits, as a recognition of their early support. - Even if you choose not to participate in the burn, $WIDI will remain freely tradable on Solana through permanently locked liquidity pools. The foundation will wind down its treasury (roughly 40%, including vested supply) and will be excluded from community burns, ensuring this allocation remains fully non-dilutive. Additionally, our Telegram General channel will remain active. All official updates and announcements will be shared on our X & Telegram both as always. My DMs, my team’s DMs, and our support channel’s DMs are always open for any questions, collaborations, suggestions, or support related to our app and products. Token Burn deadline: February 20, 2026 Also, affiliate badges on X will be reviewed and updated. - Badges will remain for active leaders using the app - Core team members will continue to hold their badges - Inactive or no-longer-aligned affiliate badges will be removed WHAT'S NEXT? After the rebrand, WIDI may: - Raise capital from angels or VCs - Explore strategic acquisition opportunities or continue fully bootstrapped The exact path will depend on what best serves the long-term vision. Expect more announcements soon👀 Our promise going forward We’ll continue to be: - One of the fastest-moving teams in DeFi × AI - Deeply rooted in Solana - Focused on building innovative products - We’ll keep adapting, iterating, improving existing apps, and shipping new ones. This update is only about the token. Our commitment to building and to the ecosystem is stronger than ever. We’re not done. We’re just more focused. Team WIDI 🤝
