# Summary
FitByte attempted to launch a workout-to-earn token via MetaDAO's futarchy mechanism on 2026-02-26. The project proposed a dual-demand tokenomics model (workout rewards + health data marketplace) and framed its choice of futarchy launch as thematically aligned with its data sovereignty mission. The launch failed dramatically, raising only $23 against a $500k target. All funds were refunded.
# Key Claims Extracted
1. **Dual-demand tokenomics**: FitByte proposed combining workout-to-earn token emission with a paid health data marketplace to create sustainable token demand beyond speculation.
2. **Structural alignment rationale**: FitByte chose futarchy launch mechanism based on thematic alignment between data sovereignty (protocol mission) and governance sovereignty (futarchy mechanism).
# Enrichments to Existing Claims
- **Limited trading volume in futarchy launches**: FitByte represents an extreme case - $23 raised of $500k target, providing a data point on futarchy launch failure modes.
- **Ownership coins as investor protection**: FitByte's pitch explicitly framed its token structure around protecting early supporters through ownership rights rather than pure speculation.
