# 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
