Project summary
Imagine having full control over your own money without relying on intermediaries or third parties. That's the promise of cryptocurrency, a new form of digital money that is decentralized, transparent, and secure.
But how do you manage your crypto assets without compromising on convenience, ease of use, and peace of mind? That's where non-custodial wallets come in. These are applications that allow you to store, send, and receive crypto without giving up your private keys to anyone else.
Sounds great, right? But there's a catch: most non-custodial wallets are not very user-friendly. They are complex, confusing, and lack the features that users want and need. That's why I decided to take on this challenge and create a better non-custodial wallet for everyone.

The Problem
I started by conducting extensive research to understand the needs and pain points of crypto users. I surveyed hundreds of people who use non-custodial wallets on various platforms and asked them about their preferences, habits, difficulties, and expectations. I wanted to know what makes them happy and what frustrates them when managing their own crypto assets.
I discovered that users face many barriers when using non-custodial wallets.
The main ones were the complexity of the interface
The lack of security measures
The absence of user-friendly features.
I realized that there was a huge gap between what users want and what current non-custodial wallets offer.

I also analyzed the existing wallet apps in the market and evaluated their strengths and weaknesses. I looked at their features and UX and compared them with my research findings. I plotted them on a 2x2 grid with UX and feature richness as axes. This helped me identify the areas where I could stand out from the crowd and offer something unique and valuable to the users.

Based on my research and analysis, I proceeded to design my own non-custodial wallet app. I carefully crafted an information architecture that reflected the optimal user flows and interactions. I also designed 20 wireframes that showed different aspects of the app's interface. I made sure to address the pain points I identified and incorporate the features that users value the most.

However, my first design iteration was not as successful as I hoped. When I tested it with real users, I found out that it was still not user-friendly enough and that it lacked aesthetic and functional appeal. This was a humbling experience that taught me a lot about the design process.

The Result
The outcome of this project was the creation of a stunning and intuitive app that solves the problems I identified in our research phase. The app has a user-friendly interface that makes managing crypto easy and fun. It also has many powerful and convenient features that enhance the user experience. Moreover, it has a rich collection of educational content within the app that helps users learn more about non-custodial wallets and crypto management.







Moving forward
There is still a lot more to explore with Northlight. What if users can befriend and chat with each other? Can we improve the security more? These are just some of the questions I'd like to expand on as I continue to work on this project. But at this point I was happy with calling the app ready to build. Users were completing tasks with ease, comprehending visual and written language.
