The Problem Space

Entering the competitive Web3 wallet space required fast time-to-market without compromising UX — users were anxious managing multi-chain assets in one place.

Core Challenge: Launch a branded v1 wallet fast: simplify multi-chain comprehension and onboarding based on real feedback.

Solution & Architecture

Customized Material UI instead of building from scratch, set explicit network context everywhere, and deferred heavy onboarding — shipping v1 beta ahead of schedule.

Core Scenarios

The unified portfolio table consolidates balances across Cardano, Solana, Flow, and EVM chains with quick network filters, hide-zero toggles, and contextual asset actions. Sending funds is handled through a slide-out drawer featuring destination validation, MAX presets, and transparent network fee previews, while accounts per chain remain neatly organized with staked reward indicators and expandable asset trees.

Key Engineering & Design Trade-offs

CHOICE Explicit Multi-Chain Tags

Prevented irreversible cross-chain sending errors by making target chains visually unmistakable.

CHOICE Staged Send Preview Modal

Ensured users confirmed gas fees and destination addresses before signing raw transactions.

CHOICE Material UI Foundation

Accelerated development by 3x to hit critical time-to-market window for token launch.

Transformation

BEFORE
Generic wallet UX: implicit network state, heavy upfront onboarding, no brand. Users feared losing funds on the wrong chain.
AFTER
Explicit chain context on every row, drawer-based Send with fee preview, deferred backup. One calm table for all assets.

Outcome & Measured Impact

Shipped v1 beta ahead of schedule with positive feedback on clarity and brand. Pragmatism beat pixels: adapting MUI freed time for real UX problems.
