Compound III

3D Motion
After Effects


Compound Labs is an open-source software development company building tools, products, and services for the decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Compound III is a collateralised borrowing protocol that optimises capital efficiency, gas costs, and security.


For the launch of Compound III, we were tasked with creating a unique piece of content that would appeal to the crypto community and developers all over the world.

Using no script, no voiceover and no messaging, this animation is purely a visual expression of the decentralised finance ecosystem. To respond to the brief, we created an abstract and compelling aesthetic journey that traverses numerous different worlds of the crypto universe.
