# FitByte

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.
