Crypto wallet UX, designed by someone who's actually shipped one.
Crypto UIs lose users in the same three places — dense numbers without context, chain identity buried two taps deep, send flows that pile every decision onto one screen. I designed the Enrichplay product end-to-end with a responsive system that holds across mobile and web, and the patterns that survived are the ones below.
Hire me if you're building a wallet, a DEX, a yield product, or any Web3 thing that real (crypto-curious, not crypto-native) humans need to use. I bring patterns from shipped work, not tutorial-grade case studies.
What I focus on in crypto UX.
Send / receive flows
Multi-step money flows broken into single-decision screens. Recipient and amount on one step, network and memo on the next, an explicit review sheet before signing — chosen over the all-on-one-screen pattern that reads badly under stress.
Network identity always near the amount
A network badge that sits within glance-distance of every balance and transaction. Different chains, different totals — surfacing chain identity inline cuts the most common confusion in crypto UIs at the root.
Transaction states
Pending → confirming → confirmed → failed. Tabular figures so amounts don't reflow mid-update; status reads as the answer to the question the user came in with.
Gas-fee comprehension
Most wallets display gas as a raw number. I write it as "this transaction will cost roughly $X to send" — with the breakdown one tap away for the user who wants it.
Web3 onboarding for the crypto-curious
Designed for the user who's two months into crypto, not the user with a Ledger on their desk. Plain language at the boundary, never inline; explain WHY before HOW; keep the surface readable without dumbing the product down.
Recoverable vs irreversible UX
Crypto is unforgiving — once you sign, it's gone. I design recoverable mistakes (typo in amount, wrong contact) with light confirms, irreversible ones (sending to wrong address) with an explicit confirm sheet — Nielsen's error-prevention heuristic applied at the source.
One product, two surfaces — same components, different composition.
A crypto product that lives on phones and on the web has to feel like one product — same hierarchy, same density grammar, same trust signals — even though the screen sizes invite very different layouts. Most crypto UIs fail this on first principles.
From Enrichplay: I built the system before the screens — tokens, components, and patterns that scale. Two density tokens (mobile vs web) carried the breakpoint difference. The components stay identical between mobile and web; what changes is what sits next to them.
| Element | Mobile composition | Web composition |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Single column, thumb-anchored | Two- or three-column system view |
| Action rail | Bottom bar — Send / Receive / Swap | Side rail on the left edge |
| Transaction history | Below the balance | Inline next to the balance |
| Density tokens | Compact (8 / 12 / 16 / 24) | Spacious (12 / 16 / 24 / 32) |
| Send flow | Chunked into two steps + review | Same chunked flow, wider review sheet |

Crypto-specific questions.
Enough to design for them. I can read Solidity at a "what does this function do" level, work with engineering to surface contract states in UI, and design for ERC-20 / ERC-721 / ERC-1155 patterns. I'm not a smart-contract auditor — pair me with one for the contract design.
Very different. Custodial = treat it like a fintech app (account recovery via email, customer support). Non-custodial = the user IS the bank — every UX decision multiplied by 10x because there's no support to bail them out. I've shipped both.
I design for the user who is two months into crypto, not the user with a Ledger on their desk. That means defaults that hide chain selection, plain-language gas copy ("this transaction will cost roughly $X to send"), and a review sheet before any signature. Send flows get chunked into single-decision screens — not because the all-on-one-screen layout doesn't fit, but because money flows read badly under stress.
Common pattern. The trick is hiding the Web3 layer from users who don't care (sign-in with email, paymaster covers gas) while exposing it to power users who do. I've designed dual-mode UX where the same screen serves both audiences.
Some patterns transfer from gallery-style ecommerce — see Painted Juttay, where every product is one-of-one and the IA had to read as a small gallery rather than a generic grid. I haven't shipped a full NFT marketplace end-to-end, so I'll be upfront on scoping if it's a stretch.
A focused redesign of a single flow (recovery, onboarding, send) is 2-3 weeks. End-to-end wallet design (everything from onboarding to settings) is 6-10 weeks. I scope per-project after the discovery call.
