First Challenges

The trick was to create coherent environment that serves as a bridge between a world of Social Media and Blockchain. MVP premise was to give users possibility to rise funds for their projects via Crowdfunding by selling their tokens. After that we created social module which consisted of feed & creator segments. The user was given access to several post types, among others, photo, video, podcast and crowdsale. Afterwards we combined those functionalities with Patreon-like features that allow thresholders accessing creator’s media given they have gathered certain amount of his token pool.
01: Diagnose the differences
Blockchain has relatively big entry threshold compared to social media. New features must not overwhelm users.
02: Create real solutions
Our goal was to incorporate it to the UX as seamlessly as possible in order to make it an extension of the social media features.

SWAP

Next big milestone was to create a trading platform for all personal tokens. It was necessary since previously the only way to acquire user’s currency was via Crowdfunding. We decided that the best solution to the problem is to create easily accessible state-of-the-art Swap module. The idea was simple, the more traffic the influencer generates, the bigger demand for his currency. On the other hand holders could exchange tokens freely to any other listed coin with a small operational fee or send it to his external wallet. In order to create the feature as safe as possible and eliminate potential scams, KYC has been implemented alongside.
Flow steps
• Tokenize yourself
• Verify your identity
• Create a liquidity pool
• Start the market
03: Find a need in the market
Assessing value of a creator is a complex task. Personal tokens combined with swap provide direct evaluation of an influencer by showcasing what is the market demand for his content.
04: Emancipate creators
Most creators are ads-dependent, since it’s their biggest revenue stream. Since the biggest stakeholder of personal token is the influencer, he can build his income solely on his work.

Design

As mentioned - the biggest difficulty was to create an intuitive bridge between a world of Social media and Blockchain. After all initial requirements were gathered, we started with developing simple Wireframes showcasing general UX flow. Next the UI was built with the best modern design standards and practices, making the app stand out not only as an idea, but also as a product itself. After the process of ideation orange was selected as a primary color in order to provide the application with an energetic vibe. We also decided to wrap most of the main segments within a Page View, so the navigation between scrolling Feed and managing Wallet is immersive.
