Based in Miami, USA, CUDIS develops AI-powered smart rings that utilize blockchain technology to track health and wellness metrics such as sleep patterns, heart rate, daily activity, and physical recovery. The company integrates its wearable hardware with the Solana and World Chain networks to securely store biometric data and operate a rewards-based token economy for its global consumers. Operating without the standard subscription fees seen in competitors like Oura, the hardware manufacturer has sold over 30,000 units and generated $4 million in initial product revenue. Backed by $5 million in seed funding from lead investors including Draper Associates, the health platform currently supports 250,000 application users across 103 countries and maintains strategic partnerships with organizations like UCLA Athletics.

CUDIS is a technology company building the world's first longevity protocol that integrates AI-powered wearable devices, blockchain, and decentralized infrastructure to enable users to own, monetize, and benefit from their health data.[1][2][6] Its flagship product, the CUDIS Ring, is a smart ring tracking metrics like steps, sleep, heart rate, and stress, paired with an AI coach delivering personalized insights and a token-based rewards system for health optimization.[3][4] CUDIS serves everyday users seeking accessible longevity tools, as well as developers and projects in wellness and DeSci, solving centralized data privacy issues by granting full user control via blockchain on Solana (with expansions to Sui).[1][2][5] Since its April 2024 launch, it has achieved strong growth, selling over 15,000 rings, generating $4 million in revenue, pre-selling to 6,000+ users across 50+ countries, and building a 100,000-member community.[3][4]
CUDIS was founded in 2022 by Edison Chen, alongside a team with experience at Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Binance, NextHealth, Nike, and Equinox, many with crypto roots since 2016 and prior successful exits.[1][4] The idea emerged from a vision to make longevity optimization measurable, accessible, and economically rewarding, disrupting traditional health models dominated by centralized data control.[1][2] Key early milestones include finalizing the system blueprint and CUDIS Ring prototype in 2023, beta app launch, ring sales, and integration with 70+ wearable brands in 2024, culminating in the official product launch under BeatBit Wellness Lab in April 2024.[2][3][4]
CUDIS stands out in the wearable health space through its Web3 integration, creating a decentralized ecosystem rather than siloed tracking apps:
CUDIS rides the convergence of exploding smart wearable markets (smart rings projected at billions), Web3 DePIN for data economies, and AI-driven personalized health, timing perfectly with rising demand for longevity tech amid aging populations and post-pandemic wellness focus.[1][2][3] Favorable forces include Solana/Sui's scalability for high-throughput health data, regulatory pushes for data privacy (e.g., GDPR-like needs), and Asia's embrace of digital health tools, as seen in its Korea Blockchain Week Sui announcement.[1][5] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering "health-as-reward" models, funding DeSci via grants, and enabling open health innovation, shifting power from corporations to users and fostering a transparent wellness economy.[2][4][5]
CUDIS is poised for explosive growth, targeting 1 million users in 2-3 years through AI enhancements, gamification, open APIs, developer grants, and partnerships in wellness/medical sectors.[4] Trends like DePIN expansion, Sui integration for better scale/privacy, and token-gated premium longevity services will propel it, while navigating competition, user education, and regulations via its tech edge.[1][5] As a first-mover in rewarding decentralized health, CUDIS could redefine wearables as user-owned assets, evolving from ring sales to a global health ecosystem where data fuels collective longevity gains—pioneering the private, secure wellness future it set out to shape.[1][2]
