Cryptonia Cross-Border Payment Platform Design

Cryptonia is a stablecoin-based cross-border payment and exchange platform designed to make international transactions faster, safer, and more transparent.

The platform enables individuals and businesses to send, receive, and convert digital assets such as USDT and USDC seamlessly into Naira.

Despite the growing adoption of stablecoins in Nigeria and similar markets, users face three major pain points:

The challenge was to design a platform that embodies the opposite of these and make it easy to navigate

To design Cryptonia, I combined hands-on research with user insights to identify real pain points and opportunities.

Explored existing crypto exchanges and P2P platforms to understand user flows and friction points.

Conducted short conversations with active traders and cross-border users to validate these issues.

Focused the solution on three pillars: Clarity, Security, and Speed.

Made use of familiar but unique style for traders to switch between tokens and complete their swap with clear rates and confirmation.

The kyc shows the tier levels and transaction limit associated with it. The completed kyc can be previewed while allowing for the next one to be selected.

Created a centralised admin platform for getting an overview of the business, moving balances across the payment processors and handling transaction requests

Working on Cryptonia helped me understand the balance between user experience and business goals. I designed each flow to feel intuitive while being unique to the brand and standing out in the marketplace.
