// Use case

DeFi 3D Website — Protocol Marketing Site

DeFi protocols with 3D — yield visualization, protocol mechanics, pool showcases, integrated wallet.

DeFi protocols compete on yield, security, and UX. 3D web: yield visualization with 3D charts, protocol mechanics scrollytelling, pool/vault showcases, integrated wallet connectivity. Pricing \$8,000-\$25,000. Strongest fit: serious DeFi protocols with engineering depth, lending platforms, AMM/DEX protocols, yield aggregators with substantive yield strategies.

What ships at launch

On launch day you have: DeFi 3D Website — Protocol Marketing Site on production hosting, all source code in your repo, the 3D asset bundle under 1.5MB total, OG images for sharing, schema.org markup, and a documented build process. The site loads under 1.5s first paint and the 3D scene streams in lazy. It just works on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Why 3D over alternatives

For defi, a static page or video can deliver the message but doesn't reward interaction. 3D adds the 'I want to play with this' reflex that keeps visitors longer. The longer attention often translates to higher conversion on the desired action — sign-up, inquiry, ticket purchase, share.

Production timeline

Two to four weeks for a focused defi. Discovery and design in week one, 3D modeling and integration in weeks two-three, polish and QA in week four. Larger scope (multi-scene, AR, complex shaders) extends to 6-8 weeks. I work to a written milestone schedule and send weekly progress notes.

Hosting & ongoing

First year of hosting + minor edits is included in the project price. After that, hosting runs around $10-30/month depending on traffic class. I don't lock you into my hosting — you can move the site to any modern provider, all assets and source travel with the codebase.

Frequently asked questions

Can you handle the 3D modeling too?

Yes. I model in Blender, export glTF + Draco. For complex models I sometimes work with a specialist — that adds \$500-\$2,000 to the project depending on complexity. For simple objects I model directly in the project budget.

Will this work on slow connections?

Yes. Asset bundle is targeted under 1.5MB total. The 3D scene streams in lazy after the first text paint, so users see content immediately and the visual layer enhances after. On 3G, the experience degrades gracefully but remains functional.

How long does this take?

Standard scope: 4-6 weeks from contract signature to live site. Larger scope (configurator, multi-scene scrollytelling) takes 8-12 weeks. Rush projects (2-3 weeks) are accepted with a 30-40% rush surcharge.

What does it cost?

Hero-section 3D upgrade: \$1,500-\$2,500. Full multi-scene 3D site: \$3,500-\$8,000. Configurator with custom shaders: \$5,000-\$12,000. All fixed-price, source code included. EUR equivalents on request.

What if my visitors are on weak phones?

The site detects device tier before the first scene loads and serves a lighter version on weak hardware (fewer particles, simpler shaders). Devices without WebGL get a static fallback that preserves the visual language and conversion path.
