Cudis launched a Solana-based token to reward healthy habits through its AI-powered smart ring and app.
The LA startup tracks sleep, stress, activity, and calories with its smart ring. The AI app offers personalized health coaching, syncing with Apple Health, Garmin, and Oura for non-ring users.
The new CUDIS token went live Wednesday on Solana and BNB Chain, trading around 10 cents. Users earn tokens by tracking health metrics and improving habits in the app. Points translate into token airdrops. 
Cudis outlined token allocation: 25% to community, 17% investors, 15% team and ecosystem each, plus marketing, treasury, liquidity, and advisors.
CEO Edison Chen said the AI coach runs on ChatGPT-4o and will add customizable longevity plans. Users can turn off blockchain data storage for privacy.
“We want people to actually understand what their health data means,” Edison Chen told Decrypt.
“The app breaks it down in simple terms: If you’ve got back pain, maybe it’s time to stretch. If your sleep score drops, maybe you need to wind down earlier, or maybe see a doctor.”
“The AI coach is privacy-first. Cudis doesn’t see or store what you type in real time. The insights it gives you like sleep tips or stress trends come from your biometric data, not your conversations.”
“So your chats with the coach stay between you and your AI, unless you choose to share more.”
“We built the AI coach based on ChatGPT 4o, and we are building new longevity-focused AI agents for users to customize their own plans,” Chen said.
“The AI agents will guide users to learn more about how to design their daily routine to enhance their health.”
“When we’re younger, we don’t think about this stuff,” he added. “But eventually you realize that your time and your health are everything. Our goal is to make understanding your body as easy as possible.”
The wearable tech market stands at $179 billion and could hit $397 billion by 2032. Cudis joins crypto fitness apps like Stepmania and Sweat that reward users with tokens for healthy living. Whether blockchain rewards can sustain long-term habits remains to be seen.
