TrustMint – A Secure and Stylish Crypto Wallet Built for Trust

James

James Okodede

Project Overview

TrustMint is a crypto wallet app designed to help users securely manage, store, and transfer digital assets—without the overwhelming complexity often found in Web3 interfaces.
My goal was to create a dark, futuristic design that feels as secure as it is intuitive. Utilizing 3D visuals, micro-interactions, and a robust design system, TrustMint distinguishes itself in a saturated cryptocurrency market with a fresh sense of clarity and control.

The Challenge

Most crypto wallets cater to tech-savvy users but alienate beginners with clunky interfaces and poor onboarding. The challenge was to design:
• A visually stunning UI that feels modern and safe
• Simple flows for transactions, wallet creation, and asset tracking
• A consistent dark theme with immersive 3D UI elements
• A product that could scale while still feeling premium and fast

My Role

As the Product Designer, I led the end-to-end design process:
• Designed the mobile-first interface with secure flows
• Built a scalable UI kit and dark theme system
• Directed the use of 3D assets for brand depth
• Conducted usability testing and iterated flows
Tools: Figma, Blender (for 3D), After Effects, Notion
Platform: Mobile-first B2C crypto wallet

Design Process

1. User Flows & Trust Mapping
Mapped key moments where users often drop off or feel uncertain (e.g., wallet backup, transaction confirmation).
2. 3D-Driven UI Exploration
Created immersive visual layers using subtle 3D elements and motion to differentiate TrustMint from basic flat designs.
3. Design System – Dark Mode First
Crafted a reusable, dark-mode-first design system focusing on:
Gradient depth
High-contrast legibility
Crypto-native iconography

Key Features Designed

Wallet creation & import with human-readable steps
Multi-token support dashboard with clean hierarchy
Transaction feed with animation feedback
Security center for managing keys and permissions
Crypto-to-crypto transfer flow simplified into 3 taps

Results & Outcomes

• +35% retention during onboarding (compared to benchmarks)
• -50% support tickets related to wallet creation
Positive qualitative feedback from the first test group on the app “trust” perception
Scalable design system used to launch a companion desktop prototype

What I Learned

Crypto is still new—and users want to feel in control, not overwhelmed. I learned how important it is to pair functional UX with emotional trust signals: animations, empty states, and guided feedback all mattered more than expected.

Highlights

• Dark-themed design with 3D visuals and intuitive flows
• Balanced innovation (3D, animation) with accessibility
• Created a secure yet approachable experience for crypto newcomers
