It's a general principle of "common law" systems that both "sides" of a contract must provide some kind of consideration in order for the contract to be valid. The legal slang for a nominal consideration is a "peppercorn", and it's more or less customary for contracts to contain some kind of verbiage such as "for the sum of one dollar and other good and valuable consideration".
In the US, at least, including "peppercorn" clauses is... essentially... more of a superstition than anything else. Courts can and have found that such clauses do not actually reflect any kind of real "consideration", and that obviously one-sided contracts may in fact be invalid despite a "peppercorn" clause.
No....a promissory note is not valid without a consideration.

An agreement without consideration is void because consideration is a fundamental element of a legally binding contract. It refers to something of value exchanged between the parties, which demonstrates mutual consent and intent to create legal obligations. Without consideration, the agreement lacks the necessary support to enforce the parties' promises, rendering it unenforceable in a court of law. Thus, both parties must provide something of value for the agreement to be valid.
A trust can be considered valid even if it is never funded, as its validity typically depends on the proper creation and execution of the trust document according to state laws. However, an unfunded trust may not serve its intended purpose, as there are no assets to manage or distribute. To be effective, a trust should ideally be funded with assets during the grantor's lifetime or upon their death. Without funding, the trust may not provide the benefits it was designed to offer.
