A deliciously simple self-custodial Bitcoin wallet

The Challenge

To lower the barrier to entry for crypto beginners by replacing complex, jargon-heavy interfaces with an intuitive wallet experience that prevents costly mistakes and reduces user anxiety.

Project Summary

The Project

Launched after my own intimidating introduction to crypto, this project addresses the complex workflows and confusing jargon that cause beginners to lose funds.

The Role

I created the end-to-end UX/UI design and branding. I also engaged with Bitcoin communities to gather feedback

Creating a Wallet

Wallet creation should be simple and doubt-free. This minimalist three-step process relies on clear descriptions and explicit prompts to guide users through crucial decisions without clutter.

Simple choices

Short, plain-language descriptions remove the complexity from wallet selection, making the choices crystal clear for users of all experience levels.

Vitaly clean presentation

Critical details are cleanly and prominently displayed, paired with clear prompts urging users to back them up offline.

Why it works

This flow works by using a minimalist, three-step structure and plain-language guidance to eliminate guesswork and help users confidently setup their wallet.

Making a payment

Payment execution demands ultimate clarity and user confidence. This design simplifies inputs and includes a clear confirmation screen so users can review details before committing to the transaction.

Comprehensive yet comprehensible

The layout organizes a dense amount of fee information so cleanly that it feels light and easy to digest, giving users full context without overwhelming them.

Clear confirmation

The clear confirmation screen provides a reassuring final checkpoint to verify vital details before committing to the transaction.

Why it works

This flow works by condensing dense transaction data into a clean, easy-to-digest layout and providing a definitive confirmation screen that eliminates guesswork and prevents costly mistakes.

Additional Screens

This core philosophy extends across all remaining screens. By prioritising a clean layout and presenting only essential data, the interface minimises cognitive clutter and proactively protects users from making costly mistakes.
