Sleepagotchi

Sleepagotchi is a sleep app that turns a regular bedtime into a game. You set a bedtime and a wake-up time. Your phone or a wearable tracks the night. Keeping to the schedule earns in-game rewards for a virtual pet called Dino. Since May 2026 the app has also included an AI Sleep Coach that reads your sleep and recovery data and gives daily advice.

Sleepagotchi launched in 2022 and is built on Solana. It is run by Gotchi Labs of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is the company's first live product. In October 2026 Gotchi Labs sold out a $500,000 community sale of its CHI token on Sonar. The token itself had not yet launched at the time of writing.

How Sleepagotchi works: sleep goals, tracking and rewards

Each night starts with a sleep window you choose. Sleepagotchi checks how closely you kept to it, using your phone's sensors or a connected wearable. Hitting the window earns the day's rewards, and missing it means losing them. The original design gave every player one free daily NFT and a second for meeting the sleep target, so the pace of rewards followed sleep habits rather than spending.

Sleepagotchi works with or without a wearable. Its website lists Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura, WHOOP, CUDIS and Pulse, and the App Store listing adds Mi Band. GamesBeat reported in August 2026 that the team claims over 90% wake-detection accuracy from phone sensors alone. That matters because it means a player does not need to buy a ring or a watch to take part.

A habit loop sits at the centre of the design. Gotchi Labs says 78% of users open the app shortly after waking, a figure eGamers repeated in September 2026.

Sleepagotchi AI Sleep Coach and wearable data

The AI Sleep Coach launched as a minimum viable product in May 2026, per GamesBeat. It turns sleep, activity and recovery signals into a daily brief with personal advice. GamesBeat described four AI agents in the plan: the live Sleep Coach, a Wellness Coach, a Meal Planner and a Shopping Agent. Only the Sleep Coach was described as live.

Gotchi Labs now leads with the coach rather than with earning. The App Store listing calls Sleepagotchi "your AI wellness companion", and the company's own posts on X describe it as the "intelligence layer" that turns wellness data into advice.

Sleepagotchi game: Dino, heroes, gacha and NFTs

Under the coach sits a full idle game. Players look after Dino, decorate rooms, collect heroes through a gacha system and send them into automatic battles that run while the player sleeps. A Hunt Mode adds a companion that levels up through sleep streaks, referrals and leaderboard rank. Meditation content and sleep sounds sit in the same app.

NFT rewards are mostly cosmetic or functional items for that companion: room decor, character skins and customization kits. They have little use outside the game.

The App Store listing shows the trade-off. In October 2026 it rated the app 3.0 stars from 34 ratings. Some reviewers said the game helped them get to bed on time, while others said the recent game additions crowded out the simpler sleep tracker. In-app purchases run from $0.99 to $59.99 and include loot boxes.

Sleepagotchi Lite on Telegram and LINE

Sleepagotchi Lite is a lighter version that runs inside Telegram and LINE and needs no sleep tracking. Players earn points through daily tasks, leaderboards and referrals. The LINE version runs on Sony's Soneium blockchain, while the main app's tokens and NFTs stay on Solana.

Lite brought in most of the project's users. GamesBeat put sign-ups across the main app and Lite at 2.2 million in August 2026.

Gotchi Labs' own site gives a smaller count of 612,000 sign-ups, with over 80,000 people using the app each day. That smaller count looks like the main app alone.

Sleepagotchi on Solana Seeker and Jambo phones

Gotchi Labs says Sleepagotchi is the top app on the Solana Mobile Seeker phone, with over 28,500 installs there. It also says the app comes loaded on over 500,000 Jambo phones. Both claims appear on the Gotchi Labs website.

Phone deals like these give Sleepagotchi users it did not have to win one by one. A company post on X also puts the app's total revenue to date at about $951,000.

Sleepagotchi token: SHEEP, SLEEP and the CHI token sale

Sleepagotchi's token has changed name more than once, which is why searches for "Sleepagotchi token" return mixed answers.

Early campaigns promised a SHEEP token. Players could gather Sleep Points on a loyalty hub at hub.sleepagotchi.com toward an airdrop, eGamers reported. The token was later called SLEEP. In September 2026 Gotchi Labs renamed SLEEP to CHI. CHI is meant to work across every Gotchi Labs app. We found no sign that SHEEP or SLEEP ever traded. Inside the app, players also collect vSLEEP, a credit they cannot send to anyone else.

The CHI sale ran on Sonar, a token sale site run by Echo, which Coinbase owns. Per the sale page:

• CHI is a Solana token with 1 billion in total supply. Buyers paid in USDC.
• The $500,000 sale sold 0.9% of supply in two parts. Part 1 was $100,000 at $0.10 per token, fully unlocked at launch. Part 2 was $400,000 at $0.05, with unlocks starting six months after launch.
• The sale ran from 30 September to 17 October 2026. People in the United States could not take part.

Gotchi Labs said the sale had sold out on 14 October 2026. eGamers reported a launch target of Q4 2026.

Gotchi Labs says CHI is for access, rewards, AI features, partner deals, voting and shopping. Its website adds two points that matter for anyone hoping to be paid to sleep. "$CHI cannot be earned through gameplay, sleep tracking or physical activity." And staking CHI gives "access and participation benefits, not financial yield." The rate for turning Sleep Points into CHI had not been published.

Gotchi Labs: from sleep app to consumer AI platform

In September 2026 the company behind Sleepagotchi took the Gotchi Labs name and set out a wider plan. Sleepagotchi stays as its health app. Apps for fitness, shopping and daily planning are planned next. Each would have its own AI agent, with CHI shared across them. A character brand called Dinogotchi supplies the mascots. In a post on X, the company said it will add apps "one vertical at a time" as demand allows. When we checked in late October 2026, none of the new apps were live.

Who Sleepagotchi is for

Sleepagotchi suits people who want help keeping a regular bedtime and enjoy a light collecting game. It is also a fit for Seeker owners who want an app from that phone's store they will open daily. Wearable owners get more detailed data, but a phone is enough.

It is a weaker fit for anyone looking to earn tokens by sleeping. CHI cannot be earned through sleep tracking, and the in-app rewards are mostly cosmetic. People who want a plain sleep tracker, without heroes, gacha pulls and loot boxes, may find the game layer gets in the way. US residents could not join the CHI sale.

Is Sleepagotchi safe? Risks to know

Health data is the biggest trade-off. The App Store privacy label says Sleepagotchi collects health data and links some of it to your identity for ads and analytics. Gotchi Labs also plans to use that data for shopping tips.

There is little on-chain to inspect yet. We found no public security audit for Sleepagotchi. Our records list no Solana programs for it. The CHI token had not launched when we checked, so who controls it cannot yet be seen.

The token itself is unsettled. It has been renamed twice, the points rate is unknown, and the launch date is only a target. Part 2 buyers paid less but must wait six months before their tokens start to unlock.

The game also sells randomness. Gacha pulls and loot boxes are part of Sleepagotchi, and some App Store reviewers have raised concerns about how clear they are. Finally, the wider Gotchi Labs plan depends on products that do not exist yet.

Sleepagotchi vs STEPN and other move-to-earn apps

STEPN N/A$0.00043+2.5% is a move-to-earn app that also started on Solana. STEPN pays for walking or running, while Sleepagotchi rewards a regular bedtime. Sleepagotchi has also moved further from pay-to-earn: its token cannot be earned by activity, and the product now leads with AI coaching. For people who only want sleep data, the apps that come with Oura, WHOOP or Apple Watch do that without a game or a token. Sleepagotchi's case is that it pulls data from all of them into one coach and uses a game to keep you coming back.

Sleepagotchi team, funding and history

Anton Kraminkin founded Sleepagotchi in 2022. He is now an advisor. Kenny Wood, who has long worked in games, took over as CEO to lead the move to Gotchi Labs. Shalini Wood and Aditya Julka joined to help grow the user base.

The first seed round, of $3.5 million, came from 6th Man Ventures, Shima Capital and 1kx. Gotchi Labs now says it has raised over $8 million in total. Its named backers include Collab+Currency, Alliance DAO, Sfermion and GSR. Earlier press reports gave $6.5 million, so the newer total seems to add later money.

Brave wrote a case study on Sleepagotchi's ads. GamesBeat names BONK, OKX and STEPN among its partners.
