Wearable devices that monitor health, such as smart bracelets, are becoming popular, but users often find themselves as "passive providers" of data, unable to control their privacy, let alone own their data and benefit from it.
The longevity incentive protocol CUDIS in the Solana ecosystem aims to change this situation. It has launched an AI-driven smart ring that helps users monitor health data while allowing them to truly control their health data and actively participate in the co-creation of personal health plans. CUDIS also provides incentives for users through a "Live to Earn" model.
Recently, CUDIS released a new batch of Sporty series AI health rings and is expected to conduct TGE in Q2 of this year.
Core Products of CUDIS
Currently, CUDIS's main products are the smart ring and the accompanying APP. The smart ring can track health metrics around the clock, such as heart rate, sleep quality, activity level, blood oxygen, and stress.
In addition to recording and analyzing users' health metrics, the CUDIS APP also includes an "AI Coach" feature that provides personalized health advice, such as optimizing sleep, exercise plans, or stress management. Users can interact with the AI to receive real-time guidance.
The CUDIS smart ring began sales in May 2024, with the second-generation ring, CUDIS 002, retailing for $349 each.
As of May 2025, CUDIS rings have accumulated sales of over 20,000 units, generating more than $6 million in revenue. The CUDIS APP has also surpassed 200,000 users, covering over 100 countries and regions.
Recently, CUDIS launched a new batch of Sporty series AI health rings. This sale adopts a limited package pre-sale format, with a package price of $500, limited to 3,000 slots, and expected to be redeemed and shipped in July.
In addition to receiving the AI health ring priced at $369, users who mint this package will also gain eligibility for the CUDIS token TGE airdrop, as well as access to CUDIS's Longevity Hub, where they can obtain selected products, projects, services, exclusive member events, health plans, exclusive airdrops, token issuance, and early participation rights in longevity research collaborations.
With data collected through the smart ring and APP, how does CUDIS ensure data privacy and security? And how does it leverage the value of data?
In terms of data protection and management, CUDIS has four core modules—namely, the LDID (User Global 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.
Regarding data usage, CUDIS can use anonymized health data authorized by users to collaborate with service providers in various fields such as the insurance industry, AI large models, and biomedicine. For instance, it can work with insurance companies to customize policies based on personal data and collaborate with other fields to research longevity solutions.
According to the white paper, CUDIS aims to create a Longevity Hub that connects users, researchers, and projects focused on longevity to promote longevity research.
Under Airdrop Expectations, How to "Live to Earn"?
CUDIS expects to conduct TGE in Q2 2025, and users need to confirm their Solana wallet address on the official website by May 25 to participate in the token airdrop.
From the information on the official website, there are mainly two ways for users to earn rewards or airdrops.
First, users can earn SALUS points by purchasing and wearing the ring, completing daily exercise, tracking sleep, or participating in in-app social challenges (such as daily tasks). These points can be redeemed for CUDIS tokens in the future. CUDIS will incentivize users to continue participating through gamification features (such as leaderboards and challenges).
Second, users can choose to mint their health data into NFTs to earn SALUS points. The CUDIS official website indicates that a health data marketplace will soon be launched, allowing users to list their data NFTs for rewards.
Even without purchasing a ring, users can use the CUDIS APP to sync data from Apple Health and utilize in-app features and participate in challenges to mint NFTs and earn points.
Team Background and Recent Developments
According to RootData, CUDIS CEO Edison graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and previously served as Vice President at Plum Ventures, 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 focused on promoting the sales packages that include the Sporty series AI health rings, as well as the TGE and airdrop events.
According to the official roadmap, in 2025, the CUDIS team plans to launch the beta version of the Longevity Hub and the Longevity Data Marketplace, as well as the AI Coach V2, in addition to completing the TGE.
