In this interview, we sit down with our lead designer, Adam Kozel, to uncover the story behind Babylonchain's striking web redesign. Embark on a journey with us as Adam reveals the challenges, inspirations, and strategic decisions that shaped the transformation of Babylonchain's digital identity. From the initial concept to the final implementation, learn how our team reimagined a website that not only aligns with but elevates the brand's evolving vision in the dynamic world of web3.
Our primary goal was to revitalize Babylonchain's visual identity and develop a new website. This new site should not only be in line with the updated branding, but also better inform visitors about Babylonchain and effectively showcase its offerings.
Our approach is a multi-step process at the beginning of each project. First, we work closely with the client to understand their background and vision. We then conduct thorough research on the product, current branding, and website user interface. This extensive groundwork ensures that our design is perfectly aligned with what Babylon Chain stands for and strives to achieve.
The client expressed dissatisfaction with the existing state of the site. Like many emerging web3 projects, their initial site was a simple representation during the start-up phase. However, as they grew, the need for a more robust and professional platform became apparent - one that could properly showcase their evolving product and brand.
The biggest challenge was the lack of a cohesive brand and clear brand direction. We started the project with minimal groundwork from previous iterations and were tasked with building a new, distinctive brand identity on top of an already established visual foundation.
Our design process is both comprehensive and client-centric. It starts with understanding the client's expectations and background, followed by workshops to delve into their business and product. We prioritize gathering all the necessary data before embarking on the creative journey, which includes mood boards and brainstorming sessions to refine the brand concept.
Once we have a clear direction, we explore different brand variations to find the perfect fit. We take a content-first approach, ensuring that all website content is prepared in parallel with design development. The process culminates in the design and fine-tuning of the site, integrating all the content, inspiration and direction we've gathered.
One interesting aspect of this project was my involvement in both design and front-end development, which allowed for a seamless transition from Figma designs to responsive, interactive prototypes in Framer.
User-friendliness was a top priority. We followed standard accessibility guidelines, focusing on appropriate contrasts, font sizes, and the inclusion of necessary accessibility features. This ensured that the site was not only aesthetically pleasing, but also accessible to a wider audience.
Yes, our design philosophy is rooted in an information-first, content-first approach. We dedicate a significant portion of our process to research, gathering extensive data about the client and their competitors. This results in a detailed FigJam board that serves as a reference throughout the project, ensuring that our design decisions are informed and strategic.
The challenge here was that we were working with an established brand, so we had to innovate while staying true to the existing brand archetype. We iterated extensively on color schemes and design elements and were able to create a brand that resonated with the established guidelines while bringing a fresh perspective.
The biggest challenge was working with Framer for a project of this size. While Framer is excellent for smaller projects, the complexity and scope of Babylonchain's needs pushed the tool to its limits.
Our collaboration with Babylon Chain was extremely close and productive. We communicated regularly, often in long, creative workshops. These sessions were key to developing effective solutions and fostered a highly creative and fruitful working relationship.
As we wrap up this exploration of Babylonchain's web redesign, it's evident that the right blend of creativity, strategy, and technical expertise can elevate a brand's digital footprint. This project highlights how impactful a well-crafted website can be for a company's identity. For those inspired by Babylonchain's transformation and looking to embark on their web redesign journey, our doors at CleevioX are always open for collaboration and innovation.
Relying too much on business intuition, common sense, or the wishful thinking of a single customer may not ensure the creation of a successful product.
Before diving into solution definition, UX/UI design, and product development, it's important to build a strong foundation. This is where product discovery comes in.
It all starts with the team. Every discovery initiative should consist of a product trio - product manager, designer, and engineer. Depending on the nature of the project, we may include additional roles such as marketing specialist, data analyst, or financial manager to cover specific parts of the discovery.
After the team is set, then we embark on a journey consisting of 4 phases:
Each phase consists of a set of activities that we must complete in order to move to the next phase.
Product discovery puts the customer first. Our research is based on customer data, trends, and competition. Prototype design is tested through user testing.
The success of a product depends largely on the expertise of the team involved. Equally critical to the team's effectiveness is its structure, which complements the selection of highly qualified specialists. The standard set of roles for the discovery phase in design thinking includes
Our approach to discovery is thorough and tailored to set our clients up for success:
This stage includes the following steps: UX audit, competitive analysis, best practices analysis, feedback analysis, user flow, personas, feature prioritization and description, backlog document with product features prioritized and described, and estimation of potential workload.
Our discovery stage service is designed to ensure that your product is well-positioned for success from the start. Contact us to leverage our expert services to pave a clear path for your product's journey to market.
Every project aims to make money, and with Web3 technologies, there are now many ways to do so. These technologies help projects turn creative ideas into businesses that can keep going over the long term. In this article, we will explore 5 ways to make money with your dApp project.
Token sales stand as a robust monetization strategy for dApp projects. By issuing tokens or non-fungible tokens (NFTs), projects create digital assets that signify value, utility, or ownership within the dApp ecosystem. For example, you can create a token that gives users access to certain features, rewards them for participation, or allows them to govern the dApp. You can then sell these tokens to investors, users, or other parties who want to support your project or benefit from its growth.
Incorporating fees for particular services or transactions is another viable revenue avenue for your dApp project. Whether it's a small transaction fee or a subscription model, ensure the fees are transparent and provide value to the users, thus justifying the cost.
If your dApp offers exceptional value, a donation model could be a way to monetize. Alternatively, consider providing premium services or features for a fee. Tailoring premium offerings to meet the unique needs of your users can foster a loyal user base willing to pay for added value.
Join developer programs or forge partnerships that offer funding or revenue-sharing opportunities. Engaging in collaborative endeavors can not only provide financial benefits but also foster a community-centric ecosystem around your dApp project.
If your project is versatile and robust, leveraging it as a white label solution could open doors to new revenue streams. A white label solution refers to a fully supported product or service that's made by one company but sold by another. The buyer can then customize and rebrand the dApp to match their branding requirements, making it appear as though they developed it themselves.
Monetizing dApp projects in Web3 is a multi-faceted endeavor. By embracing a combination of the strategies outlined above, project teams can build a sustainable revenue model for their dApps, ensuring both financial stability and continued innovation.

In the digital age, where information flows freely and creativity knows no boundaries, protecting intellectual property is more important than ever. Enter blockchain technology, the innovation that's redefining how we protect our digital assets. Industry experts are turning to blockchain's secure digital ledger as a shield against the dangers of intellectual property infringement.
But why is blockchain causing such a stir in the IP world? The answer is simple, yet profound: increased security, transparency and traceability. In this article, we'll take a closer look at how blockchain is revolutionizing the way we secure and manage our intellectual creations.
Before we look closer into blockchain and intellectual property rights, let's grasp why these rights matter so much. Think of intellectual property rights (IPR) as the superheroes of innovation and creativity, here's why:
Now that you have a grasp of IPR, let's explore how blockchain can safeguard your rights and revolutionize your business.
Blockchain delivers a powerful advantage in safeguarding intellectual property assets like patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Once data is etched onto the blockchain, you cannot delete or alter them. This quality proves invaluable in establishing unassailable ownership records for digital content. Artists and creators can timestamp their creations on the blockchain, forging an enduring and tamper-proof trail of ownership.
In the event of copyright disputes, this provides clear evidence, fortifying content owners in the protection of their intellectual property rights. Blockchain's transparency ensures that ownership records remain visible to all network participants.
The centralized nature of traditional content distribution limits artists and creators. Blockchain technology introduces decentralized platforms that empower content owners by cutting out intermediaries. These platforms enable direct interactions with consumers, letting owners negotiate terms, set prices, and offer personalized content.
Decentralized content distribution platforms offer invaluable insights into consumer behavior and preferences. By analyzing blockchain-stored data, content owners can gain a deeper understanding of their audience, allowing them to tailor their offerings accordingly. Decentralized platforms also mitigate the risk of unauthorized distribution and piracy, thereby safeguarding the value of digital content.
Blockchain-based smart contracts are transforming content management and creator compensation. These self-executing contracts allow content owners to set usage terms, including licenses, restrictions, royalties, and payment conditions. Usage rights are granted automatically when predefined conditions are met.
For instance, a graphic designer can use a smart contract to grant temporary usage rights upon payment. Upon payment confirmation, the smart contract automatically triggers, delivering the agreed-upon usage rights to the buyer. This automation removes intermediaries, cuts administrative costs, and offers an economical, transparent solution for content licensing. Smart contracts also automatically distribute the agreed-upon share of revenue generated from content use to the respective artists or creators, bolstering trust and transparency in the payment process.
Blockchain technology is transforming intellectual property protection through transparency, immutability, and decentralized control. To unlock its full potential, governments, businesses, and stakeholders must collaborate and adapt regulatory frameworks to balance protection and flexibility. Unified systems for intellectual property protection are the goal.
If you're ready to use Web3's potential for your business, Cleev.io specializes in guiding blockchain projects from concept to product. You're not alone on this journey.
In recent years, the blockchain industry has witnessed a revolutionary evolution in the form of decentralized finance, or DeFi. DeFi represents a new approach to financial services, reshaping the conventional market by empowering users with direct control over their assets. In this ecosystem, transactions unfold transparently, and the need for intermediaries becomes obsolete. We invite you to explore both the advantages and potential pitfalls of DeFi for businesses operating in the Web3 era.
DeFi encompasses a range of decentralized financial applications built on blockchain technology. These applications aim to mirror conventional financial services in a decentralized and transparent fashion, utilizing smart contracts to automate processes, thus eliminating the need for middlemen.
But DeFi is more than just innovation; it's a promise waiting to be fulfilled. Its true potential lies in its ability to forge an entirely new financial frontier – one that is open to all, regardless of their location or financial status. Imagine the possibilities, fresh economic horizons, reduced costs, streamlined efficiency, and a world where financial services are within everyone's reach.
For businesses and users, DeFi offers several opportunities.
Limited access to the financial system is a serious global challenge. Removing these barriers could connect numerous people to the financial services they require. For many individuals, financial friction is the primary issue. For instance, the excessive cost of capital, where banks restrict access to lower-interest-rate loans and instead provide lines of credit with much higher interest rates, often prevents small businesses from pursuing projects that could stimulate economic growth.
Decentralized applications have the potential to facilitate faster and more cost-effective transactions, driven by decentralization and automation, similar to smart contract operations. Transactions conducted through the DeFi protocol are consistently swift and nearly fee-free, often significantly more economical than fees imposed by centralized entities, as they do not rely on human verification or approval.
The ultimate advantage of DeFi is trustlessness. In this paradigm, reliance on individuals or financial institutions to secure your finances becomes obsolete, thanks to blockchain technology. To begin, verified crypto transactions are immutable, eliminating concerns of customers reversing or suspending payments for merchants. Crucially, DeFi protocols grant you complete control over your assets, removing the necessity for trust in intermediaries, third parties, or financial custodians.
Though DeFi offers significant advantages, it also comes with some manageable risks and requires a bit more personal responsibility.
Differences in liquidity and maturity profiles between assets and liabilities can lead to liquidity mismatches. These risks are particularly relevant in stablecoins, lending protocols, DeFi platforms, and the broader crypto-asset markets. Additionally, DeFi markets are known for their high volatility, which can expose investors to substantial losses.
The decentralized finance sector operated with limited regulation until recently when regulatory bodies began to intensify their inspection. This previous lack of oversight could create opportunities for unscrupulous parties to exploit unsuspecting investors. However, as the DeFi space continues to evolve and mature, there is ample room for innovative solutions that can not only deter defrauders, but reduce the necessity for government intervention.
Mistakes in DeFi can lead to problems and financial losses. If you send a transaction to the wrong address, there's a high likelihood of losing the crypto involved in the transaction (unless the recipient willingly returns it). In contrast, traditional financial institutions like banks or credit unions can often reverse erroneous or fraudulent transactions. The absence of such a financial safety net is why some hesitate to embrace DeFi.
In conclusion, DeFi embodies an exciting new approach to financial services, offering economic opportunities, cost reductions, and enhanced inclusion. However, like any innovation, it comes with risks. As DeFi evolves, staying informed and taking precautions is vital for businesses and investors to harness its potential while minimizing potential challenges. Adopting this transformative landscape responsibly can lead us toward a more inclusive, efficient, and secure financial future. Ready to embrace DeFi for your business? Join forces with Cleevio, your trusted partner in bringing blockchain projects to life.
Blockchain technology is playing a pivotal role in reshaping the business landscape. However, it's essential to clear up a common misunderstanding: many wrongly equate blockchain with Bitcoin. In truth, blockchain stands as a cornerstone technology for business transformation. It operates on a distributed ledger framework, ensuring trust among trusted partners. Its peer-to-peer structure enhances transaction transparency, data security, and resilience, all while cutting down on operational costs. There's no excuse to miss out on the substantial business opportunities this technology can provide. Dive deeper into its potential today.
The promise of blockchain technology is limited only by the vision of entrepreneurs and the capabilities of blockchain solutions providers entering the market. This underscores the critical role blockchain plays in both large and small businesses, depending on how effectively its advantages are harnessed within the business ecosystem. The latest data predicts that blockchain technology will contribute a staggering yearly business value of $1756.5 billion by 2030, suggesting its pervasive influence on the global economic infrastructure in the years to come.
Blockchain holds significant potential to introduce innovative concepts and solutions that align seamlessly with various industries. Businesses around the globe are quickly heading towards the inevitable adoption of blockchain technology. Now, let's discover how blockchain can make a remarkable difference in various parts of your business.
The primary application of blockchain for business transformation is through smart contracts. Smart contracts are self-executing agreements where terms and conditions are coded and stored on a secure, immutable blockchain network. When these conditions are met, the contract automatically executes. If any party attempts to override the conditions, the products or services are returned to the other party. Smart contracts enable businesses to conduct legal transactions without the need for lawyers, government officials, or costly intermediaries to resolve disputes.
The next notable benefit of blockchain technology is its capacity to bolster security within the business landscape. Blockchain's robust security stems from its core principles of decentralization and transparency. Unlike traditional databases, users within the network participate in storing and validating information. The added complexity and security measures in blockchain significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks. Furthermore, blockchain provides a secure avenue for managing digital identities. Users can safeguard and control their identity, deciding who accesses their information and how it's used, adding an extra layer of protection.
Blockchain is also making its mark in the business world's recruitment process. As time goes on, its significance becomes even more evident, particularly in its capacity to prevent applicants from using tools like Photoshop to create fraudulent documents. This not only ensures the integrity of applicant credentials but also streamlines the document validation process for companies, resulting in more efficient and effective candidate recruitment. As a consequence of this potential, businesses are redoubling their efforts to develop partnerships with top-tier blockchain development companies. Simultaneously, they are actively exploring diverse blockchain applications that can be integrated into their operations, recognizing the technology's promise in enhancing various aspects of the recruitment process and beyond.
Adopting blockchain technology brings along another substantial advantage: a heightened level of transparency. In a decentralized system where all transactions are publicly recorded, information becomes readily accessible and verifiable. This transparency ensures the legitimacy of every transaction, as no alterations to the digital ledger can occur without the consensus of others within the network. With blockchain's transparency, the security and integrity of digital records are fortified, instilling confidence in the reliability of the system.
By integrating blockchain into your operations, you gain the capability to monitor your products from the initial manufacturing phase to the moment they reach the hands of customers. This comprehensive oversight enables you to identify and rectify delays and bottlenecks promptly, ultimately enhancing the quality control of your products. But the advantages extend further. Blockchain-based supply chain management also allows you to strengthen your relationship with customers. With transparent order processes, clients can rest assured that the products they purchase are authentic and will be delivered promptly. This level of trust and transparency in the supply chain bolsters customer confidence and satisfaction.
Based on a study by Deloitte, over 50% of organizations worldwide are contemplating the use of blockchain for their digital transformation initiatives. This technology holds promise across various sectors, including payments, healthcare, city mobility, and parking, offering potential benefits for a wide range of industries.
Don't delay; incorporating blockchain into your business sooner rather than later is a strategic move. At Cleevio, we're here to assist you in harnessing the power of blockchain for your digital transformation needs.
