The Crypto UX Handbook

By Christoph Ono, @gbks

This is the official design handbook that all blockchain and cryptocurrencies projects have to follow... just kidding, that wouldn't make any sense. These are the thoughts and notes I gather while doing UX work in the field. There isn't much good information on this available online, so hopefully these notes will help to fill this void a bit.

What's in here

  1. Intro
  2. Types of software
  3. Wallets
  4. User onboarding
  5. First use
  6. Creating a wallet
  1. Sending
  2. Requesting
  3. Transactions
  4. Addresses
  5. Home screens

This site is no longer being developed, but the effort of documenting best practices and guidelines for crypto UX continues with the Bitcoin Design Guide.

As for this site, let me know if you find something incorrect, or would like to see a certain topic added. Thanks.

About

This site was created by Christoph Ono as a reference tool for good practices in crypto UX. While helping redesign the Monero wallet and talking to people in the wider community, I kept hearing that there isn't enough information about designing for crypto online. This is my effort to help address this and hopefully make it easier for others to design better.
