Understanding
the problem

1)  Cryptocurrency exchange platforms are often hard to use, with complicated interfaces and confusing language causing costly mistakes, leading to frustration and discouragement to people new to crypto.

2)  Many people lack confidence in their investing and trading abilities due to stories of losses or their own past losses which are often caused by acting on emotion and lack of knowledge.

3)  There is a lack of centralized communication channels for sharing and monetizing crypto-related content and services. As a result, content creators and traders are forced to rely on multiple platforms, leading to inefficiencies and low returns.

How we solved
‍‍‍the problem

1)  Our platform was created with ease of use in mind, with an interface that is simplistic and easy for anyone to grasp, even for those who are just starting out. Together with the platform we are also launching an academy website with educational videos that introduce people to the crypto space and the language used.

2)  Our flagship feature, social trading, allows novices to copy the trades of seasoned traders, while experienced traders can earn an additional passive income by climbing up the ranks of our social trading leagues. To further amplify the user experience, we've introduced a reward system that adds an extra layer of fun and competition to the trading experience.

3)  Our platform focuses on the social aspect, which is why we created an entire social media platform inside the exchange, so you can follow other users, subscribe to their content, and participate in the community. This gives crypto influencers and traders the ability to monetize their content and build closed or open communities right from within the platform.

Flexible and scalable
design system

We created a design system based on Atomic design. By designing and maintaining everything in a centralized library we were able to streamline the design process and ensure consistency. The design system also facilitated an efficient handover process that reduced the time and effort required to transfer design assets, specifications, and documentation to the developers. In addition to saving time, it reduced our QA ticket count considerably.
