Years of building what matters now

Mento

Bringing Currencies On-Chain

We rebranded Mento into a standalone FX platform, then designed the website and product interfaces from scratch.

12 million users, 15 stablecoins, one design system.

Problem solvers with aesthetic superpowers. We make your users say "damn, that's good" without knowing why. Strategic minds, artistic souls, and zero tolerance for mediocrity.

Stablecoins are mostly USD. Mento is changing that, putting local currencies on-chain so emerging markets get stable money in currencies they actually use.

Branding

Built for Both Worlds

Mento started as a stablecoin platform. The rebrand marked a bigger shift: positioning as the infrastructure layer for all on-chain FX. The brand had to carry that ambition. Professional enough for institutional partners, specific enough to feel unmistakably Mento.

Motion Design

Foreign Exchange Comes Alive

Mento's big idea is reshaping global finance. We made that literal, created a motion system that visualizes how people actually use it - swap, earn, integrate.

Website

Built Around User Needs

The site is organized by use case, not by product. Builders go to docs. Institutions get a 'work with Mento' path. Everyone else finds their currency and starts using it. The stablecoins page puts all 15 currencies in one place, each with its 3D token and earn options.

UI Design

Three Apps, One System

Swap is stripped to what matters: pick a currency pair, execute. Reserve makes Mento's collateral positions readable at a glance. Governance handles veMento locking and proposal voting. All three share the same component library, built for both dark and light mode, documented in a design system the development team works from directly.

The Properly team felt like an extension of our own, collaborating closely as we navigated a major strategy shift and rebrand.

They helped us shape the product story we wanted to tell, and their Web3 knowledge was key in guiding that process, especially as our website became the first place to communicate the new direction. Highly talented, creative, and truly collaborative.
