-# FitByte: Futardio Fundraise
-
-## Summary
-
-FitByte attempted to raise $500,000 through Futardio's unruggable ICO mechanism for a health and fitness protocol combining workout-to-earn mechanics with health data sovereignty. The project positioned itself as returning value and control to users who generate health data, with a marketplace for consented data sharing with researchers and clinical trial operators. The fundraise failed catastrophically, raising only $23 (0.005% of target) before closing in refunding status after one day.
-
-## Market Data
-
-- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
-- **Target:** $500,000
-- **Raised:** $23
-- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-02-26 to 2026-02-27)
-- **Token:** 6GF
-- **Platform:** Futardio v0.7
-
-## Significance
-
-This represents one of the most severe capital rejection events on the Futardio platform, with a raise-to-target ratio of 0.005%. The failure suggests either fundamental skepticism about the health data sovereignty thesis, execution concerns about the team, or market saturation in the workout-to-earn category following previous failures in the space.
-
-The project's explicit alignment with MetaDAO's unruggable ICO principles (treasury governance, IP ownership by DAO LLC, performance-gated founder unlocks) was insufficient to attract capital, indicating that governance structure alone cannot overcome product-market fit concerns.
-
-Notably, the project's website link (henry.com) appears to be a placeholder or error, suggesting incomplete launch preparation that may have contributed to investor skepticism.

 # FitByte
 
-FitByte was a health and fitness protocol built on Solana that attempted to combine workout-to-earn mechanics with health data sovereignty and monetization. The project raised through MetaDAO's futarchy-governed ICO platform (Futardio) but failed to attract capital, raising only $23 against a $500,000 target before entering refunding status.
+FitByte was a health and fitness protocol on Solana proposing a workout-to-earn model with sovereign health data ownership. The project raised through MetaDAO's futarchy-governed ICO platform (Futardio), positioning itself as infrastructure for users to monetize their health data through explicit consent to researchers and clinical trial operators. The raise failed immediately, collecting only $23 against a $500,000 target before entering refunding status within 24 hours.
-
-The project's value proposition centered on four pillars: workout-to-earn token rewards tied to verified physical activity, user-owned health data with full sovereignty guarantees, a marketplace for users to sell consented health data to researchers and clinical trial operators, and broader health ecosystem integration connecting wearables and healthcare providers.

-extraction_notes: "Failed fundraise with trivial capital raised. No novel claims extractable — the failure itself is the data point. Created entity pages for FitByte company and its fundraise decision_market to document the outcome. The project's four-pillar value proposition (workout-to-earn, data sovereignty, data marketplace, ecosystem integration) is standard health-tech positioning without novel mechanism insight. The catastrophic failure rate (0.005%) is notable as a data point about futarchy-governed fundraising outcomes but does not generate new claims about the mechanism itself."

No enrichments to existing claims warranted."
