CUDIS Launches Solana-Based Token to Reward Health Tracking and Decentralize Wellness Data

Los Angeles-based health tech startup CUDIS is taking a bold step in merging blockchain and wellness with the launch of its native token on Solana. Known for its AI-driven wellness ring, CUDIS is entering the next phase of its decentralized science (DeSci) mission—using crypto to reward healthy habits and give users more control over their personal data.

The CUDIS token, built on the fast and low-cost Solana blockchain, will serve as a reward mechanism for users who wear the company’s health-tracking ring and engage with its personalized AI fitness coach. The wearable device monitors sleep, steps, and heart rate, feeding data into the CUDIS app to help users tailor their fitness journeys.

Beyond incentives, the token also introduces governance features, allowing users to help shape the platform's future. It’s a move aligned with the broader DeSci movement, which seeks to democratize access to health research, funding, and data ownership—moving away from centralized control.

“This token generation event marks a new chapter for us,” said Edison Chen, co-founder and CEO of CUDIS. “We want CUDIS to be fun, engaging, and empowering, helping people worldwide pursue longer, healthier lives.”

The initial token drop, set to begin June 5, will distribute 50 million of the total 1 billion CUDIS tokens. Eligibility for the "Season 1" airdrop is now open for registration. Additional airdrops will follow to reward long-term users and strengthen the ecosystem. CUDIS tokens will also be available for trading on crypto exchanges Bybit and Bitget.

Since its launch in May 2024, CUDIS reports strong early momentum, with more than 20,000 wellness rings sold and over 200,000 users onboarded. The app claims to have processed billions of biometric signals and recently integrated the World App—a tool for verifying human identity and managing onchain data custody.

The startup previously raised $5 million in seed funding, led by Draper Associates, the early-stage venture firm founded by investor Tim Draper.
