COMPLETED PROJECT
BlackForest
Next-generation Decentralized Finance Platform
Blockchain Technology Web3 UI UX Design
BlackForest is a next-generation decentralized finance (DeFi) platform redefining how individuals and institutions grow their digital capital through transparent, secure, and non-custodial yield strategies. Built on blockchain infrastructure, the project investigates how decentralized finance can move beyond speculation to enable more legible, secure, and user-centric financial interactions.
WHY?
Blockchain finance promises openness, yet many platforms remain opaque and difficult to navigate. Blackforest questions how blockchain-based financial systems can be designed to make value creation legible, verifiable, and non-custodial.
WHAT?
A blockchain-native DeFi platform that enables access to on-chain yield strategies while allowing users to retain full ownership and control of their digital assets.
HOW?
Built on blockchain infrastructure and smart contracts. IBDÅ conducted the UX/UI redesign and frontend development in close collaboration with the BlackForest team, focusing on clarity, usability, and transparency.
WHERE?
The project operates within the global blockchain and decentralized finance ecosystem, engaging distributed networks rather than location-bound financial systems.
WHEN?
The project was developed and launched as an evolving platform, with ongoing iterations informed by user feedback, shifts in blockchain technologies, and the rapidly changing landscape of decentralized finance.
WITH?
The project was developed in close collaboration between IBDÅ and the BlackForest team, with IBDÅ responsible for UI UX strategy, design, and front-end development.
