Wearable developer Cudis is betting that tracking your health—and being rewarded for doing so—is key to living a longer life. Its latest move: a Solana-based token that rewards users for building better habits through its AI-powered smart ring and longevity app.
Founded in 2023, the Los Angeles-based company has already launched two generations of its smart ring. The device tracks key health metrics, including sleep quality, stress, activity levels, and calorie burn. The ring syncs with a companion app that uses artificial intelligence to offer personalized health insights and daily coaching.
“We want people to actually understand what their health data means,” Cudis co-founder and CEO Edison Chen told Decrypt in an interview. “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.”
For those without a Cudis ring, the app syncs to Apple Health, Garmin, and Oura wearable devices.
Chen emphasized that most people don’t need medical-level insights, just clear, daily feedback to improve their lifestyle habits.
“When we’re younger, we don’t think about this stuff,” he said. “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 CUDIS token launched on Wednesday and is now live on both the Solana and BNB Chain blockchain networks, trading at around 10 cents. The token acts as an incentive for users who consistently track their metrics and improve over time. Users earn Cudis points by using the associated app to track their sleep, steps, and other vitals. Earning points makes them eligible to receive CUDIS token airdrops based on their usage and total points.

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% set aside for the treasury, 8.13% for marketing, 5.87% for liquidity, and 5% for advisors.
CUDIS tokens enable users to stake and boost wellness-related earnings, access premium services, participate in governance, support innovation, and power its AI-driven personal health assistant.
“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.”
For users concerned about their data being stored on the blockchain, the Cudis app offers the ability to turn off on-chain memory data storage.
“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,” Chen said. “So your chats with the coach stay between you and your AI, unless you choose to share more.”
The option to opt out, Chen said, is meant to give users more control and continuity in their AI experiences.
Whether crypto rewards are enough to sustain healthy habits over time remains to be seen, and Cudis joins a growing field of health and fitness platforms that claim to help users reverse their biological age.
The wearables market is currently valued at $179 billion, and projected to grow by more than 120% to $397 billion by 2032, according to Coherent Market Insights. Blockchain apps like Stepmania, Sweat, and Longevity by Rejuve AI offer token-based rewards for tracking steps, calories, and overall fitness.
