GhoForward
Project Overview
GHO Forward was conceptualized during the LFGHO hackathon by EthGlobal to address credit delegation risks within the AAVE ecosystem. By integrating on-chain and off-chain credit scoring, the project introduced an innovative approach to mitigating these risks. Recognized for its forward-thinking solution, GHO Forward received the Family Pool Prize at the hackathon.
To bring GhoFoward from 0-1, we collaborated closely with a team of three developers to craft a user-centric platform that balanced innovation with usability. Through a combination of UX strategy, design prototyping, and rapid iteration, we brought the concept to life.
Enhancing Credit Delegation on AAVE
We addressed key challenges in AAVE’s Credit Delegation feature by integrating on-chain and off-chain credit scoring using decentralized identity protocols like Gitcoin Passport. This approach bridged the gap between traditional finance and DeFi, offering lenders a more comprehensive view of borrower reliability.
Alongside this, we designed an intuitive user interface to make credit delegation both secure and actionable, enabling seamless and confident lending.
Visualizing and Designing the Solution
To bring the solution to life, we began by mapping user flows for both borrowers and lenders, detailing their interactions from onboarding to loan approval. This dual-track system evolved into a unified user journey, ensuring seamless transitions between roles. Low-fidelity sketches outlined the platform’s layout and functionality, serving as a collaborative tool for aligning design and development teams.

UI & Visual Design
With the structure in place, we transformed wireframes into high-fidelity UI designs. The aesthetic was crafted to feel modern and innovative, blending AAVE’s signature purple with GHO’s green to reinforce the platform’s identity. Typography choices featured Clash Display for bold headlines and Inter for body text, creating a distinctive yet approachable interface that aligned with the platform’s forward-thinking ethos.
Empowering Decentralized Lending with User-Centric Innovation
GHO Forward introduced a blockchain-based platform aimed at making decentralized lending more accessible and trustworthy. By integrating on-chain and off-chain credit scoring with decentralized identity protocols like Gitcoin Passport, the platform effectively addressed critical gaps in borrower credibility and lender confidence.
With a seamless and intuitive interface, the solution demonstrated how decentralized lending could be both impactful and user-friendly, paving the way for broader adoption and driving meaningful innovation across the DeFi ecosystem.
