Lisk
Lisk set itself the goal to make blockchain technology accessible for a future in which everyone benefits from it. We empower developers with a software development kit for blockchain applications and are working on an interoperability solution to let everyone seamlessly use them on our platform.
Lisk Mobile application
The Lisk Mobile wallet allows you to easily transfer LSK tokens to others, view your transaction history and account balance. Given the ease of use and accessibility of smartphones, Lisk Mobile aims to attract all the users of Lisk in general. Every user needs an easy to use and customizable wallet in their smartphone for easy and fast transfers and status updates.
Unique experience
A cross-platform application written in React Native and primarily build for iOS and Android. It provides the users with all the functionality they need to send and receive LSK tokens, as well as reviewing the activity history of their or any other account in the Lisk blockchain.
The brand
Building a meaningful brand by extracting the fundamentals of Lisk's mission, transforming abstract and qualitative words into specific and descriptive visual resources. The Lisk Visual identity is designed with developers in mind.
Styles & Components
We created all UI styles and components we needed especially to establish a fully consistent and accessible experience. The result was a library of highly reusable elements that enabled us to develop a hi-fi prototype very quickly.
The process
We started inside with the Ideation phase, sketching the initial wireframes basing it off the desktop application, starting with must-have functionalities. It needed to be organized, allowing them to perform their tasks frictionlessly.Based on the experiences of our previous research team and the development of the Lisk Desktop wallet, we had the chance to include their knowledge into the mobile application.
We then focused on who is going to use it and what's the benefit they would get out of it, by offering a convenient addition for enhanced usability and overall convenience, as you can access your account anywhere you can take your mobile device. With the information from our desktop application, we created a minimum viable product (MVP) roadmap.
Key challenges
Quickly on-board the users on the mobile application, by providing dense and useful information about the actions you can take once logged inside the application.
Provide a clear account creation process, putting a strong focus on storing safely credentials.
Provide an intuitive app for mainstream use, offering a limited feature-set with a special focus on immersive user experience.
Improve security, by offering Access via biometric authentication, Continuous sign-in and Backup of the account’s passphrase.
Create a design that is professional yet engaging.
Competitor Benchmarking
Competitor Benchmarking
We intended to find inspiration for improvements or additional flow elements and to reveal possible solutions or even common standard patterns for the problems in the current user flow we had on the desktop application.
Introducing Lisk Mobile
I designed the roadmap collaborating with the Product Manager and Developers, considering the insights I derived from the existing React application, using competitive analysis on existing wallets and dedicated extreme focus to creating the best User Experience on a Mobile device, keeping it strongly connected with the already existing desktop wallet. He adopted React Native for the cross-platform application and primarily built for iOS and Android, keeping the user at the center of our design process.
To better measure the impact of individual improvements during usability testing, we focused on simplifying the visual hierarchy, providing guidance through UI and UX writing, and reducing further confusion in the first prototype.
The Outcome
Lisk Mobile App launched in October 4, 2018 at Lisk Berlin Meetup and it was successful. The community shared with us great feedback, and helped us further improve the initial concept.
After launching the wallet, continuous support and improvements are essential. We made sure to provide:
Top-notch support, giving assistance through dedicated channels and in app as well.
Regular Updates: Release updates to fix bugs, enhance security, and add new features based on users' feedback.
And of course grow the community ensuring the wallet remains secure, functional, and responsive to the community's needs.
I have left the company Feb, 2020 to pursue another adventure. It was an amazing experience working on such a wide scale application with a great team.
