The project raised through MetaDAO's Futardio platform but failed to attract meaningful capital, closing with only $23 committed against a $500,000 target. ## Timeline - **2026-02-26** — Launched fundraise on Futardio targeting $500,000 for health data sovereignty protocol - **2026-02-27** — Fundraise closed in refunding status with only $23 committed (0.0046% of target) ## Relationship to KB - [[futardio]] — launch platform - [[MetaDAO]] — parent organization providing unruggable ICO infrastructure FitByte represents a failed attempt to apply futarchy-governed fundraising to the health data market. The project's value proposition combined four elements: workout-to-earn token rewards, user-owned health data, paid data sharing for clinical research, and broader health ecosystem integration. Despite positioning itself as addressing a "hundreds of billions" dollar health data market and choosing MetaDAO's structure for alignment with data sovereignty principles, the project failed to attract investor interest.
