Valiant DEX
Valiant aims to become the go-to DEX on Fogo, new high-speed Layer 1. We designed a seamless UX from the ground up, one that matches Fogo’s speed and sets the standard for DeFi on the network.
UX/UI
Overview
Valiant is building what aims to be the flagship decentralized exchange on Fogo, a Solana-based Layer 1 network launching its mainnet in Q3 2025. The project’s mission is clear: leverage Fogo’s blazing-fast transactions to deliver a seamless and efficient DeFi trading experience. Ooble Studio was brought on board to design the full UX from scratch, ensuring the platform sets a new standard for speed, clarity, and usability.
Challenge
As one of the first major products on a brand-new Layer 1, Valiant had to:
- Build from the ground up without existing UI/UX references on Fogo
- Appeal to early adopters, mainly Solana-native users accustomed to fast, clean interfaces
- Design flows that match the ultra-low latency of Fogo's infrastructure
- Translate an already strong visual identity into a fully functional, intuitive DEX
- Balance familiar Solana user patterns with fresh, L1-native interactions
There was no room for clunky UX, speed and clarity had to be embedded at every level.
Solution
Our team designed the entire user experience for Valiant from zero, using their existing brand direction as a creative foundation.
- We mapped out complete user journeys, from token swaps to LP management, with frictionless flow as a priority
- Benchmarked the best practices from top Solana DEXs to meet user expectations while introducing new logic specific to Fogo
- Built a UX system designed to scale with product evolution, from MVP/Test-net to full-featured mainnet launch
- Focused on clarity, responsiveness, and performance at every interaction, ensuring the UI matched the speed of the underlying chain
- Created adaptive layouts and navigation for both advanced users and first-time DeFi participants on Fogo
The result was a UI that feels fast, because the UX makes it so.

Results
Valiant now stands as the most advanced and complete DEX experience currently live on Fogo. The platform has received strong support from the Fogo team themselves and has become a reference point for projects launching on the network. Early releases and public previews of the interface have been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising its fluid navigation and ease of use.
As Fogo approaches its mainnet, Valiant is positioned not just as a DEX, but as a UX benchmark for the entire ecosystem.
