CUDIS is a decentralized longevity protocol that utilizes a wearable smart ring, an AI-powered application, and blockchain technology to enable users to track, manage, and monetize their health data. The platform aims to make health and longevity optimization more accessible and rewarding by combining personal biometric data with a tokenized incentive system. ^[1]

Overview

The CUDIS protocol was developed to address challenges in the digital health and longevity sectors, such as the high cost of advanced anti-aging treatments and the centralized corporate control of user-generated health data. The project's stated goal is to extend human "healthspan"—the period of life spent in good health—to 140 years by providing tools for real-time health tracking and personalized, AI-driven wellness strategies. CUDIS positions itself as the "world's first rewarding longevity protocol," aiming to make longevity accessible to a broader audience, in contrast to anti-aging treatments that can cost over $250,000 annually. The project operates within the digital health market, which is projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2033. ^[7] By building on blockchain technology, CUDIS provides users with data sovereignty, allowing them to control and potentially monetize their personal health information.

The ecosystem consists of three main components: a physical wearable device (the CUDIS Ring), a mobile application (the CUDIS Super App), and a blockchain-based infrastructure on the Solana network. Users wear the ring to collect biometric data, which is then processed by the app to provide health insights and longevity scores. Through engagement with the platform and by maintaining healthy habits, users can earn rewards. The project has reported raising $5 million in funding and achieving $5 million in product sales, with a community of over 200,000 members across 103 countries. ^[1]

History

The development of the CUDIS protocol is outlined in a multi-year roadmap.

• 2023: Building Foundation The initial phase focused on the design and development of the first CUDIS Ring prototype. During this period, the team created the blueprint for the platform's AI coaching model and the overall system architecture.
• 2024: Product & Ecosystem Launch In 2024, CUDIS launched its first consumer products, the CUDIS Ring 001 and 002, along with the CUDIS mobile application. Key ecosystem features were introduced, including Health Points, Data Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and social challenges to drive user engagement. The project also established its ambassador program, formed Web3 and small business partnerships, and completed a fundraising round.
• 2025: Scaling the Longevity Ecosystem Plans for 2025 included a Token Generation Event (TGE) for the native $CUDIS token in June, the public launch of the Longevity Hub, the release of a v2 AI coach, and the introduction of staking-enabled community features. ^[8]
• 2026–2027: Community Growth and Decentralization Future plans focus on expanding the ecosystem through a token-gated Longevity Hub community and a multi-agent AI system for personalized longevity strategies. The roadmap includes the implementation of a community governance protocol and major brand awareness campaigns. Long-term goals for 2027 involve the establishment of a Global Longevity Center, a Longevity Scientist Committee, and a Longevity Foundation.

These milestones chart the project's progression from initial concept to a planned decentralized wellness ecosystem. ^{[1] [7]}

Pioneer Package

CUDIS launched a limited Pioneer Package for early adopters ahead of its June 2025 Token Generation Event (TGE). The package included the CUDIS Ring, a lifetime subscription to the CUDIS Super App, and a 'Longevity Hub Pass.' This pass, a Soulbound Token (SBT), grants holders early access to the $CUDIS token airdrop. ^[8]

Technology

The CUDIS protocol integrates hardware, software, and blockchain technology to create its decentralized health and longevity platform. The architecture is designed to capture, analyze, and secure user health data while providing incentives for positive lifestyle changes. ^[2]

CUDIS Ring

The CUDIS Ring is the primary hardware component of the ecosystem. It is a smart ring made of titanium, is waterproof, and has a 7-day battery life. It is designed for continuous wear to track key biometric markers, including sleep, activity, readiness, and stress. ^[8] The "Sporty Series" of the ring is designed for athletes and active users, offering enhanced reward multipliers through a feature called "Activity Mode." The data collected by the ring syncs with the CUDIS Super App for analysis and visualization. ^{[1] [9]}

CUDIS Super App

Available for both iOS and Android, the CUDIS Super App serves as the central hub for users to interact with the protocol. The application provides users with real-time health data, AI-generated wellness insights, and access to their rewards. Over time, new features have been added, such as an "Energy Journal" for users to log subjective energy levels and a "Sports Mode" to track specific fitness activities. The app is the gateway to the broader CUDIS ecosystem, including social challenges and the future Longevity Hub. ^[3]

AI Longevity Coach

The protocol includes an AI Agent Coach that provides users with 24/7 personalized health guidance. The AI learns from an individual's data in real-time to offer science-backed longevity strategies. Users can earn token rewards for engaging with the AI coach and optimizing their health routines. ^[7]

Blockchain Infrastructure

CUDIS is built on the Solana blockchain, chosen for its high throughput and low transaction costs. The protocol's infrastructure, also called the CUDIS Data Network, is a secure, decentralized system enabling users to monetize health data through tokenized incentives. Users can be rewarded in CUDIS Tokens for uploading, staking, or licensing their data for privacy-preserving data sharing. ^[7] The infrastructure includes several key components to ensure data sovereignty and security: ^[2]

• Longevity Decentralized Identifier (LDID): Each user is assigned an LDID, which functions as a self-sovereign digital identity. This allows users to manage their data without relying on a central authority.
• Data Aggregator and DataHub: These systems are responsible for collecting health data from the CUDIS Ring and other sources, processing it, and storing it securely within the DataHub. The architecture is designed to give users full control over their information.
• NFTs The platform allows users to mint their anonymized health data as NFTs. This mechanism provides a verifiable way for users to prove ownership of their data and creates a pathway for them to participate in a future data marketplace.

Longevity Hub

The Longevity Hub is a planned marketplace and ecosystem for curated longevity products, programs, and services. Access to the hub is intended to be managed through a "Longevity Hub Pass," a non-transferable Soulbound Token (SBT) that grants members exclusive benefits, such as airdrops, early access to token launches, and invitations to members-only events. ^[1]

Tokenomics

The CUDIS ecosystem is powered by its native utility token, $CUDIS. The token is designed to facilitate transactions, incentivize user participation, and enable community governance. ^[4]

The core function of the $CUDIS token is to reward users for engaging in healthy behaviors and contributing their data to the ecosystem. Users earn in-app rewards, such as "Health Points" or a "Vitality Score," by tracking their sleep, exercise, and other wellness metrics. These points can be converted into or used to earn $CUDIS tokens. The token also plays a role in the platform's economic model, which includes a fee structure designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the protocol. Additionally, $CUDIS will be used for staking and to grant access to a token-gated community within the Longevity Hub, where members can access premium features, personalized AI insights, and elite health services. The token is also intended to help curate innovation by empowering developers and researchers through the Longevity Hub. ^{[5] [7]}
