Designing a Multi-Currency Crypto Exchange for Pinex
Victor Kolawole
Pinex Dex - Designing a Multi-Currency Crypto Exchange
Pinex had one big ambition: make crypto accessible to everyday people. Many exchanges at the time were clunky, intimidating, or too advanced for newcomers. Over four months, I worked as the solo product designer to craft a platform that balanced simplicity and power.
Problem: Fast crypto adoption was leaving newcomers behind. Many crypto platforms were complex and intimidating for beginners.
Opportunity: Build a platform that feels familiar for crypto-savvy users but simple enough for new adopters.
Core product goals: Create a crypto app that enable users to deposit, swap, send, and withdraw both fiat and crypto.
Solution: Designing Crypto Confidence, End-to-End
I designed an end-to-end experience that made managing multi-currency transactions feel intuitive and stress-free. Progressive disclosure played a key role, surfacing only what users needed at each step while keeping advanced tools just a click away.
Screens
Onboarding & Authentication: Simple flow + referral input.
Dashboard: Progressive disclosure → surface only the most important balances first.
Currency Detail Screens: Deposit, withdraw, send, swap, transaction history.
Swap Flow: Real-time dynamic rates (15-second window).
Referral System: Transparent breakdown of referrals, commissions, and earnings.
Visual Identity: Lightweight, trust-focused branding system.
