Designing Boxilet's Crypto Staking Platform

The Boxilet journey started when a Web3 startup founder reached out via X (formerly Twitter) after seeing my design work showcased through design threads and project highlights. They were building a crypto staking platform aimed at simplifying the staking experience for newcomers and experienced users alike.

The founder was impressed by my intuitive Web3 wallet designs and wanted a designer who understood both crypto UX and modern design systems. We quickly scheduled a call to dig deeper.

During our discovery call, we explored:

The core goal: Make staking and rewards tracking easy, beautiful, and trustworthy.

Target users: Primarily crypto enthusiasts, DeFi users, and passive income seekers.

MVP features:

Need for a responsive, secure-looking, and minimal UI that aligns with Web3 expectations.

I conducted competitor research (e.g., Lido, Rocket Pool, and Marinade) and gathered UI/UX patterns users were already familiar with, while also identifying areas for improvement — like simplifying complex terminology and making APR rewards more interactive.

I started with low-fidelity wireframes to map out:

Stake flow (Connect Wallet → Choose Token → Stake → Confirm)

Dashboard overview (with Total Staked, Rewards Earned, Claim CTA)

Rewards page with graphical reward tracking

These were shared for review and feedback was incorporated early to avoid misalignment.

Using Figma, I translated the wireframes into high-fidelity, pixel-perfect mockups featuring:

Soft gradients and modern Web3 color palettes

Token icons, chain-specific badges (e.g., Solana, Ethereum)

Frictionless wallet connection UI

Tooltips and micro-interactions for education and trust-building

I structured all Figma components into a design system and used auto-layouts for scalability. The developer team appreciated the structured handoff:

Clear component naming

Dev notes on interactions and logic

Responsive variants for desktop and mobile

We used Zeplin (or Figma Dev Mode if preferred) for inspection, assets, and spacing details.

Once the MVP went live, Boxilet saw:

+1,200 early users in the first week

Increased staking volume by 38% in month two

High retention thanks to easy re-staking flows and visual rewards tracking

User feedback highlighted:

“Cleanest staking dashboard I’ve used.”

“Didn’t think staking could be this straightforward.”

Boxilet was not just another staking platform — it became a reference for how clean UX can build trust in DeFi. From outreach to delivery, it was a tight collaboration focused on clarity, security, and seamless staking.

I’m proud to have shaped the design experience that made staking accessible for all levels of crypto users.
