Aries Finance | Pioneer Aptos-Based DeFi Protocol

View the original case

Aries is the Aptos-based all-in-one DeFi solution for lending, borrowing, and margin trading. Known for its unified account system and strong growth in user engagement.

Our challenges

Working with Aries, a pioneer on the new Aptos blockchain, was a highlight for me. Their product, featuring functionalities like borrowing/lending, swapping, bridging, and margin trading, demanded an innovative and striking design. My objective was to craft a mobile-friendly design for both the landing page and the app, with a focus on rapid execution.

What was achieved

Quick Launch As mentioned earlier, the timeline was extremely tight, with only six weeks from project inception to the MVP launch. The team needed to be ready for the Aptos event announcement, and they achieved this milestone right on schedule!
Building Independency I established a foundational set of components and styles, equipping the team to independently develop the app. They're excelling at this, as evidenced by the app's ongoing growth. I'm truly proud of their achievements!
Native App I also laid the groundwork for developing a native iOS app, and although it's still a work in progress, the component set I provided will be more than sufficient for them to successfully complete this task.
