Crypto Wallet App

The challenge

Crypto products frequently focus on only one part of asset management, such as trading, custody or transfers.

Users who hold several currencies may therefore need multiple platforms to manage their complete portfolio. This makes it harder to understand balances, track activity and move assets confidently.

The experience also needs to communicate sensitive financial information clearly. Confusing fees, recipient details or transaction states can lead to costly mistakes.

The design needed to balance advanced functionality with clarity, trust and security.

Research and opportunity

I reviewed widely used crypto-wallet products to understand common functionality and interaction patterns.

The research showed that users expect:

• Multi-currency balances.

• Buying, selling and exchanging.

• Transfers to external wallets.

• Transaction history and status.

• Market and portfolio information.

• Secure custody.

I also interviewed two different user types:

• An individual seeking secure custody for a large portfolio.

• An active trader using several apps to access different currencies.

Although this was a limited qualitative sample, it highlighted a shared problem: both users wanted a clearer way to manage more of their crypto activity from one place.

This led to three product opportunities:

1. Multi-currency support

2. Integrated custody

3. Trading and portfolio tools

Show the two user types and the three opportunities. Avoid including long persona paragraphs.

1. Creating one wallet overview

The home screen brings the most important information into one view:

• Total wallet balance.

• Current currency and fiat value.

• Pending transaction alerts.

• Recent transactions.

• Quick access to primary actions.

A floating action button opens Buy, Sell, Send, Deposit and Exchange from anywhere in the wallet.

This gives users a clear overview before asking them to choose a task.

Show the final dashboard with annotations for:

• Total balance.

• Pending approval.

• Recent transactions.

• Main action button.

Balances, activity and pending actions are combined in one portfolio overview.

2. Simplifying the Send flow

Sending cryptocurrency requires several sensitive decisions: choosing an asset, selecting a recipient, entering an amount, understanding fees and confirming the destination.

I divided the flow into four focused stages:

1. Routing

2. Amount

3. Fees

4. Review

Users first choose the currency and recipient. The amount screen then presents the crypto and fiat values together, followed by a clear fee breakdown.

The final review repeats the destination, amount and transaction details before the user confirms the transfer.

[IMAGE — SEND FLOW]

Show four screens:

• Choose currency and recipient.

• Enter amount.

• Review fees.

• Confirm transaction.

Caption:

Sensitive transaction details are introduced gradually and repeated before confirmation.

3. Supporting multiple currencies and recipients

The wallet supports several cryptocurrencies within the same transaction flow.

Users can choose an asset from a visual currency list and select a saved contact or external wallet address. This reduces repeated entry while keeping the destination visible throughout the process.

Using recognizable currency symbols and names helps users distinguish between assets with potentially similar abbreviations.

[IMAGE — SELECTION STATES]

Show the currency selector and recipient selector side by side.

Highlight:

• Currency name and symbol.

• Saved contacts.

• External wallet addresses.

• Selected destination.

4. Making transaction status visible

The transaction-history view brings incoming, outgoing and pending activity into one list.

Selecting a transaction opens its details, including its status, value and relevant blockchain information. Pending transactions are also surfaced on the dashboard so important actions are not hidden inside the history.

This creates continuity between monitoring the wallet and completing an action.

[IMAGE — HISTORY AND DETAILS]

Show:

• Transaction-history list.

• Transaction-detail screen.

• Pending transaction card on the home screen.

Caption:

Users can move from portfolio overview to complete transaction details without losing context.

The final outcome

The concept combines the main parts of crypto-asset management into one mobile experience.

Users can:

• Manage balances across multiple currencies.

• Buy, sell, send, deposit or exchange assets.

• Access custody and trading functionality.

• Monitor recent and pending transactions.

• Select saved contacts and wallet addresses.

• Review conversion values and transaction fees.

• Confirm sensitive information before sending.

Create one group containing:

1. Wallet dashboard.

2. Action menu.

3. Send flow.

4. Transaction history and details.

Impact and reflection

Because this is a concept project, avoid presenting unverified business results. Use:

The final concept demonstrates how trading, custody and wallet management could be combined into one coherent mobile product. The design prioritizes portfolio visibility and adds clear checkpoints to the most sensitive transaction flow.

The project would benefit from further testing with a larger group of experienced and beginner crypto users.

Important areas to validate include:

• Whether users understand the difference between Send, Deposit and Exchange.

• Confidence when selecting currencies and wallet addresses.

• Comprehension of network and transaction fees.

• Ability to identify pending transactions.

• Perceived security before confirming a transfer.

The main lesson was that a financial interface can appear simple while still presenting the information required for an informed decision. In a crypto product, clarity is part of security.
