Designing the next generation of DeFi brokerage services

Challenge / Opportunity

Oxygen is a Defi prime brokerage service built on Solana and serves as a permissionless, cheap, and scalable protocol that democratizes borrowing, lending, and trading with leverage. Oxygen provides it’s users with a more efficient way to manage their capital.
The team at Oxygen reached out to Precode and asked us to design the web app for both desktop and mobile web. The challenge was to design the UI for all primary user journeys within a week, for both desktop and mobile web, and provide models for light and dark mode.

Approach

For this challenge, we recommended our 5-Day UX Sprint.
5-Day UX Sprint
Our UX Sprints are the fastest way to execute. No internal meetings. No sales calls. No long lunches. No helping Gary in accounts
Pre-flight
We had a two 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 Oxygen 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 Oxygen team
Prototyping
Prototypes not presentations - we prefer to show prototypes instead of screens. This allowed the Oxygen team to walk through user journeys instead of a set of static screens.
