From Venmo to Onchain Solidarity in 60 Seconds Buy crypto without centralized exchanges. The Solidarity Fund now integrates ZKP2P for direct fiat-to-xDAI purchases using Venmo, Cash App, and more.

Solidarity means everyone can participate.

Wednesday 3PM EST on Discord: live session with the ZKP2P founder.

Full article here, and a direct link to the community call is in our bio.

ZKP2P connects apps you already use (Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Revolut, Wise) directly to crypto. No middleman, no custody risk. Transfers settle in seconds with cryptographic proofs verifying everything happened.

Centralized exchanges have become gatekeepers to crypto. Many people with genuine need find themselves excluded.

We just integrated ZKP2P into the Bread Solidarity Fund. Go from your payment app to participation in under 60 seconds.

2026 will be more of the same, and you can play a key role. Head over to our Solidarity Fund app and bake BREAD to support cooperative economies. Link in bio.

Solidarity forever 🍞

We gathered 122 times this year. Nearly 450,000 BREAD tokens in circulation. No venture capital. No corporate board. Just worker-owned infrastructure, beholden only to our community.

We continued supporting direct action and practicing mutual aid throughout 2025. Crisis response when traditional systems fell short. Solidarity funds for organizers. Practical tools, not promises.

72 community events across the year. Workshops, calls, in-person gatherings on three continents.

Building a cooperative economy takes showing up, again and again, and the Breadfam did.

2025 was a rough year for crypto speculation. But it was an incredible year for crypto-led solidarity.

Over 30,000 in yield distributed to member organizations, all thanks to the support of BREAD holders around the world.

🏙️ An economy where contributions are visible and access to resources is based on them?

The conversation digs into how we encode cooperative values into our systems, and what it actually takes to build something owned by the people who use it. Worth a listen if you're curious about this stuff.

Solidarity forever 🍞

Our co-founder @tbsocialist.bsky.social recently joined @cryptoaltruists.bsky.social for a conversation about building financial tools without venture capital, and why we chose worker ownership over investor returns.

Solidarity forever 🍞

How it works: Every month, the Bread Solidarity Fund distributes generated yield.

50% split equally among all members,
50% allocated based on $BREAD holder votes.

Baking BREAD = voting power to support causes that matter to you.

This is our first distribution with Gardens as a member! RefiDAO is now represented by Regen Coordination, a collective that includes GreenPill.

Welcome to the solidarity fund!

Cycle 17 $BREAD distribution is here, Breadfam!
A little delayed, but the extra time meant bigger numbers. Here's the breakdown 👇

1st Wednesday of the month is Tavern time at www.cryptoleftists.xyz 🍻
