Nitrogen

Creating a gateway into the Solana ecosystem

Nitrogen is wallet that allows users to manage their Solana assets on mobile and desktop.

Challenge

The product team at Nitrogen gave us the challenge of redesigning their existing mobile app. The goal was to improve the user experience, redesign the user interface, and design some of the new features being implemented. Nitrogen is positioned as a gateway into the Solana ecosystem, and therefore caters for newcomers to cryptocurrency, DeFi and GameFi. We designed the app from the ground up, including the onboarding.

Impact

Redesigning the Nitrogen wallet mobile app in a 5-day UX Sprint was an ambitious target. However, we delivered over 80 screens to the Nitrogen product team, presenting the app on iPhone SE, iPhone 13 and Android.

Approach

Pre-flight

We had a four hour meeting the week before the sprint to meet the team, discuss the project brief, confirm the deliverables and obtain any necessary assets before the first day of the sprint.

Daily calls

Every morning we had a 15 minute stand up with the Nitrogen team

Show & Tell

At the end of each day we sent an email with a link to a prototype plus a video screencast of us presenting our work to the Nitrogen team

Prototyping

Prototypes not presentations - we prefer to show prototypes instead of screens. This allowed the Nitrogen team to walk through user journeys instead of a set of static screens.

Handover

We performed two rounds of user testing. First we ran user testing on the existing Nitrogen app, and on day 3 we ran a second session on the prototype that we had created
