# FitByte

Health and fitness protocol on Solana that proposed workout-to-earn mechanics combined with user-owned health data monetization. Launched through MetaDAO's futarchy-governed ICO platform seeking $500K but attracted only $23 in commitments before entering refund status after one day.

The project positioned itself as solving both the sustainability problem of move-to-earn protocols (by grounding rewards in verifiable physical activity) and the health data exploitation problem (by giving users sovereign ownership and monetization rights over their biometric data).

## Timeline

- **2026-02-26** — Launched futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio targeting $500K for health data sovereignty protocol
- **2026-02-27** — Fundraise closed in refunding status with $23 total committed (0.0046% of target)
