- CIMG signed a non-binding MoU with FLock to co-develop LifeNode using federated learning.
- CIMG is evaluating FLOCK tokens for its treasury while FLock supplies privacy-preserving AI infrastructure.
CIMG Inc. agreed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with FLock Technology Holdings to co-develop LifeNode, an AI assisted wellness monitoring and recommendation product that will use federated learning. The announcement was made on August 26, 2025.
CIMG signs non-binding MoU covering LifeNode development and potential FLOCK treasury allocation
The MoU outlines three contemplated steps. First, FLock would serve as CIMG’s privacy preserving AI solution provider for LifeNode. Second, the companies would jointly develop the product for consumer wellness use cases.
Third, CIMG will evaluate acquiring FLOCK tokens as a treasury reserve asset. No financial terms or timelines were disclosed and the MoU remains subject to definitive agreements.
LifeNode is described as an AI system that generates wellness monitoring and tailored recommendations. FLock said the collaboration extends its technology from institutional healthcare deployments into consumer health applications. CIMG said the product aims to deliver personalized outputs without aggregating raw user data in a central repository.
FLock to provide federated learning infrastructure and on-chain coordination for model training
FLock’s stack combines federated learning with blockchain based coordination and incentives for model contributors. Federated learning trains models locally on user devices or edge endpoints and shares model updates rather than underlying data.
This approach is designed to maintain data residency while allowing collaborative training across many participants. FLock documents describe token based mechanisms that align incentives for data and compute providers.
The partners state that privacy preserving model training is central to LifeNode’s design. In practice, model updates would be aggregated to improve global performance while minimizing exposure of sensitive wellness signals.
We’ve officially partnered with CIMG Inc. to co-develop LifeNode — an AI-assisted wellness monitoring and recommendation product.
But this goes beyond tech adoption.
As part of the collaboration, the digital asset treasury strategy for $FLOCK is now under consideration.

That architecture is consistent with published accounts of federated learning in which gradients or weights, not raw inputs, are transmitted to a coordinating service.
Communications from FLock also indicate that CIMG is considering adding FLOCK tokens to its digital asset treasury and will utilize components of FLock’s platform for product development. CIMG’s statements emphasize that any token purchase remains under evaluation alongside the product collaboration.
CIMG is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker IMG and has described a corporate heritage in specialty coffee with an expanding focus on consumer products.
The company framed the partnership as part of a broader strategy to develop personal health offerings supported by privacy preserving AI. The parties did not provide a commercial launch schedule for LifeNode.
