Case study ·

Valantis

Valantis is a crypto trading and yield suite on Hyperliquid. Its web app includes Stake for HYPE rewards, Prime DCA for automated buys with idle yield, and Swap for token exchanges, alongside a pro trading terminal.

I have always owned design. We have never had a dedicated PM. Product sits with the CEO. I fill the gaps on discovery, scope, launch, positioning, and GTM.

We launched the first product in May 2025. By June 2026 the suite had about 4k monthly active users and $80k MRR across four products.

Role
I joined a five-engineer team as the first product and design hire, before the company had a product or brand. I own design and step into product management to unblock projects and initiatives that would otherwise stall.

Traction
Within 13 months of launch, Valantis scaled to four products, ~4K monthly active wallets, and ~$80K in monthly revenue from staking yield, swap fees, and a share of Prime users’ trading-fee savings—while growing TVL 32% in 30 days to ~$210M.

Shared foundation across the suite

Design System

I built and maintain an agent-friendly design system from the ground up, giving the team and coding agents a shared foundation across multiple products.

It keeps new features consistent, polished, and true to the Valantis brand—turning the last mile into the last few feet.

One identity across product and growth

Brand Identity

I partnered with an external agency to develop the Valantis logo and foundational identity, then translated it into a cohesive product system.

I extended the identity across product UI, app icons, motion, marketing campaigns, pattern language, and responsive web experiences.

Website

I designed and launched the first Valantis website across desktop, tablet, and mobile, and continue to improve it as our products and positioning change.

For product launches and ongoing improvements, I own design, copywriting, and development, bringing in teammates when I need new data, a code review, or collaboration on copy.
