Smart wristbands and other health-monitoring wearable devices are popular, but users are often just passive "data providers" without control over their privacy, let alone owning their data and benefiting from it.
CUDIS, a Longevity incentive protocol in the Solana ecosystem, attempts to change this situation. It has launched an AI-driven smart ring that helps users monitor health data while giving them true control over their personal health information and actively participating in the development of individual health plans. CUDIS also provides incentives to users through a "Health to Earn" model.
Recently, CUDIS has released a new batch of Sporty series AI health rings and is expected to conduct TGE in Q2 this year.
CUDIS's Core Products
Currently, CUDIS's main products are smart rings and a companion APP. The smart ring can track health indicators 24/7, such as heart rate, sleep quality, activity levels, blood oxygen, and stress.
In addition to recording and analyzing users' health indicators, the CUDIS APP also has an "AI Coach" feature that provides personalized health advice, such as optimizing sleep, exercise plans, or stress management. Users can obtain real-time guidance through interaction with AI.
CUDIS's smart rings have been on sale since May 2024, with two generations of products released. The current second-generation ring, CUDIS 002, retails for $349 each.
As of May 2025, CUDIS rings have accumulated sales of over 20,000, with sales exceeding $6 million. The CUDIS APP has over 200,000 users, covering more than 100 countries and regions.
Recently, CUDIS has launched a new batch of Sporty series AI health rings. This sale adopts a limited gift package pre-sale format, with the package priced at $500, limited to 3,000 spots, and expected to be shipped in July.
In addition to obtaining an AI health ring with a retail price of $369, users who mint this gift package can also get CUDIS token TGE airdrop qualification and be eligible to enter the CUDIS Longevity Hub, gaining future access to selected products, projects, services, member-exclusive events, early participation rights in exclusive airdrops, token issuance, and longevity research collaboration.
After collecting data through smart rings and APP, how does CUDIS ensure data privacy and security? How can it leverage the value of data?
In data protection and management, CUDIS has four core modules - LDID (user's comprehensive health data management module) provides privacy-protected health data management, the CUDIS data aggregator generates immutable unique health records, the CUDIS data hub enables flexible and fair data trading, and the CUDIS processing node ensures transparent and efficient data computation.
In data usage, CUDIS can use anonymized health data authorized by users to collaborate with service providers in various fields such as insurance, AI large models, and biomedicine. For example, it can work with insurance companies to customize personalized policies based on individual data and collaborate with other fields to research longevity solutions.
According to the whitepaper, CUDIS plans to build a Longevity Hub that connects users, researchers, and longevity-focused projects to promote longevity research.
How to "Health to Earn" Under Airdrop Expectations?
CUDIS expects to conduct TGE in Q2 2025, and users need to confirm their Solana wallet address through the official website before May 25 to participate in the token airdrop.
According to the official website, there are two main ways for users to earn rewards or airdrops.
First, users can earn SALUS points by purchasing and wearing rings, completing daily exercise, sleep tracking, or participating in in-app social challenges (such as daily tasks). These points can be exchanged for CUDIS tokens in the future. CUDIS will encourage continuous user participation through gamification features (such as leaderboards and challenges).
Even without purchasing a ring, users can use the CUDIS APP, sync data from Apple Health, use in-app functions, and participate in challenges to mint Non-Fungible Tokens and earn points.
Second, users can choose to mint their health data as Non-Fungible Tokens to earn SALUS points. The CUDIS official website shows that a health data market will be launched soon, where users can list their data Non-Fungible Tokens with access permissions to receive rewards.
Team Background and Recent Developments
According to RootData, CUDIS CEO Edison graduated from UCLA and previously served as a vice president at Meihua Venture Capital, responsible for early investments in consumer technology, brands, and blockchain.
In September 2024, CUDIS completed a $5 million seed round led by Draper Associates, with participation from well-known investment institutions such as Skybridge Capital, Borderless Capital, MorningStar Ventures, NGC, Foresight Venture, and SNZ.
Recently, the CUDIS team has been focusing on promoting the sales package of the Sporty series AI health rings, as well as the TGE and airdrop events.
According to the official website roadmap, in 2025, the CUDIS team plans to complete the TGE and launch the Beta versions of the Longevity Hub, Longevity Data Market, and AI Coach V2.
