Crypto Currency wallet

I designed a crypto wallet mobile app that introduces users to digital currency management with a simple and secure experience. The design currently covers the splash screen, onboarding journey, authentication (sign in & sign up), and home screen. This project focuses on building trust, educating first-time users, and creating a seamless entry into the crypto ecosystem.

What is it

The Crypto Wallet App is a mobile-first wallet design aimed at users who want to securely store, track, and manage their cryptocurrencies. Since many new users feel overwhelmed by crypto apps, I concentrated on making the early touchpoints
onboarding, sign-in, and home to ensure clear, approachable, and trustworthy.

How I think

Crypto is powerful but often intimidating. My thinking process was guided by one principle: make it simple, make it safe. The onboarding flow needed to educate without overwhelming, while the sign-in/sign-up had to balance security with ease of use. The home screen was designed as a clear dashboard where users could see their balances and quick actions at a glance

What are the challenges


  • Many crypto apps look complex and scare off beginners.

  • Security is crucial, but it must not compromise usability.

  • Onboarding had to explain the benefits quickly without boring users.

  • Designing a home screen that is both data-rich and uncluttered.

How I solve


  • Crafted short, focused onboarding screens with simple visuals and minimal text.

  • Designed a clean authentication flow (sign in / sign up) with clear inputs and visible security cues.

  • Kept the home dashboard minimal, showing balances and key actions (send, receive, track) without overload.

  • Used crypto-inspired but modern design language (dark mode, gradients, card components) to build trust while keeping it engaging.

The methods I followed

I applied a mix of practical techniques:

  • Competitor Review: Studied existing wallets (Trust Wallet, Coinbase, MetaMask) to identify strengths and user pain points.

  • User Journey Mapping: Outlined the first-time user flow (from splash → onboarding → account creation → home).

  • Wireframing: Sketched simple versions of the onboarding and sign-up flow to test clarity.

  • UI Design: Applied a modern visual style with bold typography, card layouts, and secure-looking interactions.

  • Micro-Interactions: Added subtle touches (progress indicators, smooth transitions) to make the experience feel fluid and polished.

Final design

The app currently includes:

  • Splash screen with bold branding

  • Onboarding flow that introduces security and key features

  • Sign in / Sign up screens with a clean, trustworthy design

  • Home screen that shows balances and core actions in a minimal, card-based layout

The design sets the foundation for expansion into features like transaction history, portfolio analytics, and exchange integration.

Usability testing

Even at this early stage, I shared the prototype with test users. Their feedback highlighted key improvements:

  • Shorter onboarding: Users preferred fewer steps → condensed to 3 screens

  • Clearer security cues: Added visual emphasis on password strength and recovery phrase

  • Simple home layout: Users liked a “quick glance” balance card over heavy charts

Conclusion

This project demonstrates my ability to design early-stage product foundations: setting the tone for trust, usability, and scalability. The Crypto Wallet App, while not fully built yet, shows how I can take a complex, technical domain like crypto and design an entry experience that feels safe, modern, and beginner-friendly.
