Today’s #SOTD goes to @properlystudio for "Moto Finance".

The website for Moto, a premium financial card for modern wealth—designed to make the card feel worth carrying before you even apply.
Congratulations!
modern finance can have its roots in antiquity - let us explain
researching leverage for @3f_xyz took us more than 2,000 years back to archimedes, the first to describe the lever and its fulcrum: "give me a fulcrum, and i will move the earth"
that became the starting point for it's visual language: classical pillars, the lever and blue for structure and stability, dither, orange and grids for something more digital
leverage is an old idea about moving something heavier than you can lift on your own
@3f_xyz applies it to real-world assets, which is why Archimedes holds up as the brand concept
we simplified him into geometry, so he works three ways: a central visual, one element in a composition, or a pattern you read as texture before you read it as a figure
what matters is that the concept and the product run on the same idea, so the visual language can keep developing
@usemotocard is entering a new chapter.
we built the brand that carries it there.
new site, new identity. live now.
the brief was the hard kind: make a finance brand feel like modern wealth without raising its voice once. so we built one visual world. one taste, the same restraint in every frame.
the card is only the beginning, and the brand says it from the first second you land. visa infinite, zero FX globally, 24/7 concierge, access across hotels, dining, travel and wellness. one quiet system.
a quieter way to move through the world. built for modern wealth.

Today, we’re unveiling the new Moto.
Our new website is now live, with an entirely new design built to reflect where Moto is going next.
We started with the idea that a premium financial experience could be fundamentally better. But the card was only the beginning.
Moto Membership brings together the financial experience with a much broader service layer: zero FX fees globally, a dedicated relationship manager, up to unlimited cashback*, longevity and wellness access, travel and logistics handled end-to-end, and considered access across fashion, luxury, culture and dining.
Membership is $250/month or $2,500/year.
We’re opening applications for the first 100 membership spots.
Discover the new Moto and apply for access at https://t.co/Ca5gKFn3nm
*Monthly cashback limits are determined by your eligible balance or monthly card spend. Cashback is uncapped at the highest tier.
A first glimpse of our new website.
This is more than a refresh. It reflects how Moto has evolved and marks the beginning of a series of announcements about what comes next.
A new chapter is taking shape.
Get ready for Moto 2.0.
Our internal design hackathon (@properlystudio) ended a while ago, but nobody on the team forgot that day.
The challenge: build a fintech in 14 hours, AI at every stage.
Our approach: as a team, we didn't try to use AI everywhere. We used it hard where it multiplied us, and turned it off where it slowed us down. We didn’t care about maxing out the tools; we wanted to find out where they actually belong in a design process.
Project: INNATE - Your iris is your wallet. No cards. No taps. Just look.
Shipped in one day: brand, app UI & prototype, terminal UI, landing page, and Iris Field - a generative visual built from your iris, unique to every user.
The biggest lesson: the value of AI isn't in how much of it you use. It's in knowing exactly where it helps, and when to turn it off. That map is worth more than any deliverable from that day.
Best trio: Kasia + @nataliaparandyk + me
All three projects and full story down below👇
we ran an internal ai design hackathon at our studio, testing what ai can actually do for real client work.
one brief (design a biometric fintech app), three teams, 14 hours. here's what came out of it 🔽
whenever I wanted to inspect an ui element, it was really hard to get through the wall of code just to find the design-related properties I actually needed
so I built a tool that lets you quickly check the key design values
thx claude
We are excited to announce that @3f_xyz has raised $4 million in seed funding led by @Maven11Capital, with participation from @FPrimeCapital, @MetalayerVC, @GSR_io, Susquehanna Crypto, @Gate_Ventures and others.
3F is building the onchain infrastructure that unlocks leveraged exposure to tokenized real-world assets.
some sites you read - @sentient_found's you move through
built around the scroll where every move has a purpose
