Gamma Finance, project 3 of 9

Case study Agents & on-chain vaults · 2025

Gamma Finance

I designed the initial MVP UX for what is now Agents; designed and branded Lockbox, including the visualization of its multi-step transaction; designed the Points Program experience; and conceived the Lock In campaign, which Gamma continues to use.

Problem

Gamma's original platform, with its brand, comparative vaults, and portfolio, predates my work. Its next generation, Agents, needed a product foundation, and its launch needed a vault people could commit to, a reason to return, and a campaign.

Approach

Make automation and commitment legible: each agent shows its status and a direct action, and Lockbox shows the APY, exposure, liquidation price, points, and every step of its transaction before you stake.

Outcome

Agents runs in production on much of the MVP's foundation, under a visual redesign by other designers. Lockbox is live at lockbox.gma.fi, and Gamma continues to use the Lock In campaign.1,2,3

Selected artifacts

Product & process.

Product states, decisions, and the system behind them.

Agents, from the first MVP

I designed the initial MVP UX for what is now Agents: the dashboard's information architecture, the Agents and portfolio experiences, navigation, and core interaction patterns. Production has since been visually redesigned by others; much of that foundation remains.

Mine: the Agents MVP shown here. Subsequent: the current visual redesign, by other designers. Inherited: Gamma's original brand, logo, comparative vaults, and original product and portfolio interfaces, which predate my involvement; earlier work included contributions by Airfoil and other designers.

01 — ORIGINAL MVP → CURRENT PRODUCT

Kept: Agents in the left rail, and a grid of agent cards, each with its status and a direct action. Evolved: cards lead with APY, TVL, and points. New, by others: the visual redesign, filters, sorting, a list view, and totals.

02 — THE AGENTS MVP

The dashboard's information architecture, agent creation, and the portfolio views, as I designed them.

Overview · account context and agent performance

03 — INTERACTION DETAILS

Selection, evaluation, and activation made visible.

Select · selected and inactive protocols
Evaluate · strategy scores before allocation
Manage · active and inactive agent states

04 — INHERITED FOUNDATION

Gamma's original portfolio, from the generation before Agents. It predates my involvement; earlier work included contributions by Airfoil and other designers.

01

Lockbox, end to end

I designed and branded Lockbox, now live at lockbox.gma.fi: stake SOL for a simple APY and a place in line for Gamma. Three steps keep the commitment and its reward on one page.

Lockbox · the three steps above the stake, with the position beside it. Values are illustrative.
01 · Connect
Connect a wallet to begin; the balance stays in view in the header.
02 · Deposit
Stake SOL as vSOL, set a multiplier, and preview the APY, exposure, liquidation price, and points before committing.
03 · Waitlist
The deposit secures a place in line for Gamma; My Position, Points, and Leaderboard keep it in view afterward.
Mobile · stake, strategy, and multiplier in one column.
Mobile · the preview opens above the deposit.
Mobile · points and referrals in the menu.
Landing concept · stake SOL for early access, with estimated points shown before you commit.
Access code · referral codes as the way in.

02

The Lockbox identity

A padlock carrying the marks of the three protocols behind the strategy, the lockbox wordmark, and a title card in the same type and texture.

Key visual · the Lockbox padlock, carrying the three protocols behind the strategy.
Title card · the Lockbox name in its type and texture.

03

One transaction, every step visible

Behind one deposit are several steps: SOL becomes vSOL, vSOL takes a leveraged position through Kamino, and the stake is delegated to validators for yield and rewards. I visualized each step so the strategy is clear before you stake. The strategy and protocols belong to Gamma and its partners.

Lockbox in motion: a SOL deposit, each strategy step behind the APY (convert, lend, borrow, multiply), and the way into Gamma.

04

The working prototype

My desktop prototype connects wallet setup, staking, leverage, reward previews, and early access.

05

The Points Program

I designed the Points Program's user-facing experience: how staking points, the multiplier, referral rewards, and seasons appear, from the stake panel to a season's dashboard and the leaderboard.

Points inside staking · multiplier, referral link, daily points, and rank, beside the deposit that earns them.
Working review · staking states to a season dashboard, with the notes that shaped the next round: a gmSOL stake, corrected metrics, a leaderboard, and points charted against positions.
Season 1, before any points · available points circuits and actionable rewards.
Season 1, earning · total points, rank, referrals, the gmSOL stake circuit, and actionable rewards.
Leaderboard · season standings by wallet, with the points behind each rank.

06

Lock In: the campaign

I conceived Lock In around the product's own mechanic: lock in SOL, earn the APY, and lock in a place in line. The campaign is distinct from Lockbox's product identity, and Gamma continues to use it.

The line · what does it mean to lock in? Yield, plus a place in line. Values are illustrative.
Concept
One phrase for the action and the reward: stake now, secure early access.
System
A padlock, market lines, and the vault marks, in Gamma's violet on near-black.
My role
Campaign concept and creative direction, video assets, and go-to-market support.

07

Video assets

Frames from the campaign video assets I worked on: the line, the vaults to come, and the lock closing on each one.

02 · Charts as texture.
03 · milestone loading…
04 · vaults coming soon.
05 · _multiply. delegate. earn.
06 · Each vault, named with its mark.
07 · The lock, open.
08 · Locked in.
09 · The same lock for every vault.

Creative direction beyond the screen

The same language, carried onto merchandise: _lock in. on the sleeve, on gamma. on the cup.

Merchandise · tees and cups in the campaign's palette.

09

The go-to-market story

I supported Gamma's go-to-market around the campaign. These slides carry the story it told: agent-run strategies behind each vault, and the Lockbox mechanics shared with partners. Figures in the slides are illustrative.

Positioning · agents that find, execute, and rebalance strategies around the clock.
Structure · tokenized agents, from delta-neutral to exotic assets.
Partner slide · the Lockbox staking and pre-launch points campaign, dated 30 April 2025.
Campaign status · staking and waitlist, an access code at 10 SOL staked, and a maker–taker access model.
