On the evening of April 2, 2025, WinLEW publicly announced a collaboration with 2BRZ (2 Brotherz).

What was announced

The framing at the time was complementary strengths: 2 Brotherz brought bold community energy and creativity, WinLEW brought a utility-first, transparency-focused approach. The collaboration centred on shared goals, community and execution — the idea that projects can build alongside each other rather than only compete for the same attention.

What the record shows now

WinLEW's own partner register lists 2BRZ as a Historical Community Partner with an unconfirmed current status. That is deliberate and it is not a slight: it means the announcement is documented and the collaboration happened, but nothing in the record establishes an ongoing formal relationship today. Rather than quietly drop the entry or imply more than can be shown, it stays listed with its status stated plainly.

The 500,000 $WinLEW giveaway

The partnership was not only an announcement. Alongside it, the @WinLewToken account ran a giveaway for 500,000 WinLEW — one winner, drawn from people who showed support for both communities, with the draw set for April 10, 2025.

It was paid. That is checkable rather than asserted:

  • Exactly 500,000.000000 WinLEW left the project's X Faucet Reserve (GFxz42bi…C7EhAp) and arrived in the winner's wallet in a single transfer.
  • Signature 57yz552Q…FDjr4Y, at 2025-04-11T02:38:33Z — which is the evening of April 10 in the project's own timezone, matching the "Paid ..!!" post to the day.

The winner, @_zrago, published their own wallet address when they entered, which is the only reason it can be named here — the record is theirs, not something disclosed on their behalf.

Two things stand out reading the chain back today. The winner was not only entering: in the days either side of the draw they bought roughly 1.5 million WinLEW on the open market with their own money. And they are still here — that wallet held 1,595,146.428 WinLEW at the campaign snapshot on August 18, 2026, sixteen months later.

A giveaway that pays, to someone who then stays, is a better argument for the thing than the announcement was.

A note on the date

This article is dated April 2, 2025, which corrects WinLEW's own earlier records. Both the partner entry and the event entry previously read April 1. X post IDs encode the moment they were created, and the announcement's ID decodes to 2025-04-03T02:18:46Z — which is 8:18 PM on April 2 in the project's own timezone.

The proof was inside the link those records already stored. It is corrected in both places, and a test now re-derives the date from that link so it cannot slip back.
