FitByte
FitByte was a health and fitness protocol on Solana that attempted to combine workout-to-earn mechanics with health data sovereignty and a marketplace for selling user health data to researchers. The project raised through MetaDAO's Futardio platform but failed to attract meaningful capital, closing with only $23 committed against a $500,000 target.

Relationship to KB
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.
