Simplify the crypto trading process for both beginners and experienced users.
Create a user-friendly platform that accommodates users at all skill levels.
Improve personal problem-solving skills through the design process.
Before I start any design I always ensure to do my own research thereby learning new things about the project and improving the way I would work on the project. For Coinsack the process wasn’t any different.
I carried out a research on cryptocurrency then did a qualitative survey with the aid of google forms.
After carrying out my research I identified the major areas to focus on in the project.
At this point I started noting down my ideas for the project by sketching out my wireframes.
I started designing the high fidelity wireframes with my figma tool
At this stage I prototyped my work to get a view of how it would look like in the real world.
Like I said earlier I like conducting my own research before carrying out my projects. I also created a quantitative survey through the use of google forms to ask traders and non traders about their experience with cryptocurrency apps to which I got 13 responses. The chart can be seen below;
Insights from the quantitative research using google forms
Can you tell us your experience using these apps
What features did you like about these apps
What features didn't you like about these apps
What features would you have liked to be added to these apps
In the course of my research I had to test different crypto apps to get more insight and inspiration for coinsack.

At this stage I created detailed user personas and outlined distinctive features to set Coinsack apart in the competitive crypto app landscape. This ensured a user-centric design approach, addressing the diverse needs of both beginners and experienced crypto traders.

Coinsack, as I like to say, has a sack of features, it was designed with the users in mind from the onboarding screens to the logout screen it has been tailored to be a seamless and exciting experience. Some of these features are listed below:
Some exclusive screens with major features
The homescreen shows the users at a glance their current balance and they can easily buy, sell, send, recieve and convert their assets through the quick actions. It also showcases the live prices of some assets available on coinsack. This was done to enable a stress free user experience.
The portfolio screen enables the users to manage their assets, it also gives them an history of their past transactions and saved assets.
The trade screen makes all trading done on coinsack possible from here users have several trading options like peer to peer, futures trading and even NFTs. Allowing all these features to co-exist in the same section was done to improve their accessibility.
One of the top priorities of Coinsack is to help beginners understand the crypto world easier so the learn section was created which has 4 sub sections namely the articles, videos, demo and saved sections. The articles section contains a sack of articles on anything crypto, blockchain, nfts and even web 3.0 and yes it also applies to the videos’ section as well. The ‘’saved’’ section keeps all starred articles and videos.
Being my first case study, presenting it posed a challenge but after carrying out a research, checking Behance and Linkedin for inspirations, I finally came across someone who designed a ready made template in the Figma community for beginners, shout to Esther Omosehin (Kems), which I later used for my presentation on behance.
I learnt how to communicate with developers.
I was greatly exposed to the crypto space.
I discovered how valuable the figma community was.
