My Role

As the Product Designer in this project, my role was to lead the transformation of the WAX Cloud Wallet, a decentralized application (dApp), into a more seamless platform that offers users easy access to a range of decentralized applications within the WAX ecosystem. Additionally, I aimed to provide users with the ability to collect and transfer NFTs across networks using the newly built-in bridge feature and claim staking rewards directly from within the dApp. Through this transformation, we aimed to create a more intuitive and user-friendly experience for our users, empowering them to engage more fully with the WAX ecosystem.

Challenges

The WAX blockchain ecosystem is widely recognized as one of the largest and most popular blockchains for NFT gaming. However, its success has also impacted the performance of the WAX Cloud Wallet application. This eco-friendly platform provides users with Network Resources such as CPU, NET, and RAM to enable them to run the wallet smoothly. Unfortunately, bots in games have become a common practice and our registration forms were constantly being attacked by these bots which were also consuming Network Resources, thereby affecting the experience of real users.

Pay-Wall Solution

The issue of bots consuming Network Resources in the WAX Cloud Wallet was a significant challenge that required a viable solution to ensure a better user experience. Our team responded to this challenge by creating a pay-wall for real users and storing their payments as credit under their wallet account. This approach has helped to mitigate the impact of bots and ensure that real users can access the necessary resources for a seamless experience.

Desktop & Mobile

As we were developing and implementing new desktop dapp features, it became clear that we needed to create a customized mobile experience rather than relying on the existing responsive site. This shift in approach enabled us to prioritize the most commonly used features and optimize the design to suit the different ways in which the dapp is used on mobile devices. By tailoring the mobile experience, we were able to ensure that users could easily access the features they needed, making the dapp more user-friendly and intuitive.

Dark Mode

What would a Web3 dApp be without a Dark Mode option? By developing a tailored mobile experience for our Web3 dApp and incorporating a Dark Mode option, we have improved the overall usability and user experience. Our approach enabled us to focus on the most commonly used features and optimize the design for mobile devices, making it more intuitive and user-friendly. The Dark Mode option not only improves the visual appeal but also makes the app more accessible for users who prefer a darker interface. Here, we present our approach

Conclusion

Overall, our solutions have led to an improved user experience and a more sustainable WAX blockchain ecosystem, with a focus on ensuring that users can easily access the features they need while keeping the WAX Cloud Wallet eco-friendly compared to its competitors.
