Cudis, a developer of wearable devices, believes that tracking health and receiving rewards for it is the key to extending lifespan. Its latest initiative includes a Solana-based token that rewards users for forming better habits through its AI-powered smart ring and longevity app.
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the company has launched two generations of smart rings. These devices track essential health metrics such as sleep quality, stress levels, activity, and calorie burn. The ring syncs with a companion app powered by artificial intelligence, offering personalized health insights and daily guidance.
"We want people to truly understand what their health data means," said Edison Chen, co-founder and CEO of Cudis, in an interview with Decrypt. "The app explains things in simple terms: if you have back pain, maybe it's time to stretch. If your sleep score drops, perhaps you need to relax earlier or see a doctor."
For those without a Cudis ring, the app can sync with Apple Health, Garmin, and Oura wearable devices.
Chen emphasized that most people don’t need medical-grade insights—just clear daily feedback to improve their lifestyle habits. "When we’re young, we don’t think about these things," he said. "But eventually, you realize that your time and health are everything. Our goal is to make understanding your body as simple as possible."
The CUDIS token launched on Wednesday and is now trading on the Solana and BNB Chain blockchain networks at approximately 10 cents. This token serves as an incentive for users who consistently track their metrics and show improvement over time. Users earn Cudis points by tracking their sleep, steps, and other vital signs through the associated app. Accumulating points qualifies them for CUDIS token airdrops based on their usage and total points earned.
According to Cudis, the total supply of the token is 1 billion, with 25% allocated to the community, 17% to investors, 15% each to the team and ecosystem, 9% reserved for treasury, 8.13% for marketing, 5.87% for liquidity, and 5% for advisors.
The CUDIS token allows users to stake and enhance health-related rewards, access premium services, participate in governance, support innovation, and power its AI-driven personal health assistant.
"We built our AI coach based on ChatGPT 4o and are developing new longevity-focused AI agents for users to customize their plans," Chen said. "The AI agent will guide users on designing their daily routines to improve health."
For users concerned about their data being stored on the blockchain, the Cudis app offers the option to disable on-chain memory data storage.
"The AI coach prioritizes privacy. Cudis does not view or store what you input in real-time. The insights it provides, like sleep suggestions or stress trends, come from your biometric data rather than your conversations," Chen explained. "So, your chats with the coach remain between you and your AI unless you choose to share more."
Chen stated that the opt-out feature aims to give users more control and continuity in their AI experience.
Whether crypto rewards will be enough to sustain healthy habits long-term remains to be seen. Cudis joins a growing field of health and fitness platforms claiming to help users reverse their biological age.
The wearable device market is currently valued at $179 billion and is projected to grow over 120% to $397 billion by 2032, according to Coherent Market Insights. Blockchain apps like Stepmania, Sweat, and Rejuve AI’s Longevity reward users with tokens for tracking steps, calories, and overall health.
