CUDIS, a Web3-driven wellness technology firm headquartered in Los Angeles, has introduced its new Solana-powered token, also called CUDIS, as part of its mission to decentralize health data and reward user engagement through blockchain incentives.
CUDIS is the creator of a smart wellness ring that captures vital biometric data such as step count, sleep quality, and heart rate. Paired with an AI-driven fitness coach, the device encourages healthy behavior by offering CUDIS tokens as rewards for consistent use.
The launch of this Solana-based token empowers users not only with incentives but also with governance rights over future decisions involving the platform. The initiative aligns with the Decentralized Science (DeSci) movement, which seeks to transform access to scientific research and funding by minimizing dependency on centralized authorities.
A New Chapter Begins with Token Generation
โThe Token Generation Event (TGE) is the start of a bold new chapter for CUDIS,โ said CEO and co-founder Edison Chen in a statement shared with PRIME. โWe believe our token will inject energy into the community and further our goal of making longevity and wellness more accessible worldwide.โ
The initial airdropโdubbed Season 1โwill open for registration on June 5. A total of 1 billion CUDIS tokens have been minted, with 50 million set to be distributed during this initial reward phase. The tokens will also be listed on Bybit and Bitget, two leading crypto exchanges.
Rapid Growth and Real-World Impact
Since its official debut in May 2024, CUDIS has already sold more than 20,000 rings and has attracted over 200,000 users to its platform. The app has reportedly processed billions of biometric signals, underlining its rapid adoption and scalability.
To enhance privacy and trust, CUDIS has integrated the World App, a decentralized identity protocol, to help users verify their biometric data and retain self-custody over their onchain health records.
Backed by Big Names and Built for the Future
The company raised $5 million in seed capital in a round led by Draper Associates, the early-stage investment firm founded by Tim Draper. This funding helped accelerate product development and ecosystem expansion.
CUDISโs decision to build on Solana mirrors a growing trend among โconsumer cryptoโ startups seeking fast, low-cost, and scalable blockchain infrastructure. Other major projects like Doodles have also chosen Solana to launch tokens aimed at real-world utility.
