The Forge team created a powerful toolkit for creating beautiful and user-friendly applications on the EigenLayer platform. With the increasing popularity of EigenLayer and its role in revolutionizing Ethereum, there was a need for cohesive and intuitive user experiences across the ecosystem.

This design system provides a comprehensive set of design guidelines, components, and resources that empower developers and designers to build consistent interfaces that align with EigenLayer’s brand standards.

Cardinal was accepted into Y Combinator’s Winter 2023 batch for their vision of creating a product that would allow teams to more easily see the impact of their work — enabling informed decision-making. We set out to help them create a distinctive brand identity, website, and compelling MVP product to lay the foundational groundwork to allow Cardinal and its users to scale.
