FitByte
FitByte was a health and fitness protocol on Solana that attempted to combine workout-to-earn mechanics with health data sovereignty and monetization. The project raised through MetaDAO's Futardio platform with a $500,000 target but closed after one day with only $23 committed, entering refunding status.
The project's thesis centered on four pillars: workout-to-earn token rewards tied to verified physical activity, user-owned health data with full sovereignty, paid data sharing for research and clinical trials, and broader health ecosystem integration. The team positioned the raise through futarchy governance as aligned with their data sovereignty principles.
