 # FitByte
 
-FitByte was a health and fitness protocol built on Solana that proposed a workout-to-earn model combined with sovereign health data ownership and a marketplace for users to monetize their health data with researchers and clinical trial operators. The project raised through MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO platform (Futardio) but failed to reach its funding target.
+## Overview
+FitByte is a health and fitness protocol built on Solana that proposed to reward users with tokens for physical activity while giving them sovereign ownership of their health data. The project aimed to create a two-sided marketplace where users earn tokens for verified workouts and can monetize their health data by selling access to researchers and clinical trial operators. The project launched through MetaDAO's Futardio platform but failed to reach its funding target.

 # Futardio: FitByte Fundraise
 
 ## Summary
-
-FitByte proposed a Solana-based health protocol combining workout-to-earn token rewards with user-owned health data and a marketplace for monetizing that data with researchers and clinical trial operators. The project launched through MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO platform with a $500,000 funding target but attracted only $23 in commitments before closing and entering refunding status after one day.
+FitByte proposed a workout-to-earn protocol with health data sovereignty, positioning itself as infrastructure for users to own and monetize their fitness data. The project sought $500,000 through Futardio's unruggable ICO mechanism, emphasizing alignment between health data ownership principles and futarchy-governed fundraising structure. The raise failed dramatically, collecting only $23 before entering refunding status.
 
 ## Market Data
-
 - **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
 - **Funding Target:** $500,000
 - **Total Committed:** $23
 - **Launch Date:** 2026-02-26
 - **Close Date:** 2026-02-27
-- **Commitment Rate:** 0.0046%
+- **Token:** 6GF
+- **Platform Version:** v0.7
 
 ## Significance
-
-This represents one of the most decisive market rejections on the Futardio platform despite the project's alignment with stated platform values (user sovereignty, transparent governance, anti-rug mechanisms). The failure suggests that mechanism design alignment and governance structure are insufficient to overcome fundamental market skepticism about project viability or team credibility. The near-zero commitment level ($23 on a $500K target) indicates the market priced this as non-viable from launch rather than a close decision that narrowly failed.
+This represents one of the most severe market rejections on the Futardio platform, with committed capital reaching only 0.0046% of the funding target. The failure occurred despite a comprehensive pitch covering workout-to-earn mechanics, data sovereignty, clinical trial marketplace integration, and explicit alignment with MetaDAO's unruggable ICO principles. The rapid close (one day) and minimal participation suggest either fundamental market skepticism about the health data tokenization thesis or execution concerns about the team.

 ## Competitive Position
 - **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
 - **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."
