Timeline2024 — 2025

ScopeEnd-to-end UX/UI redesign

The redesigned Chromia staking dashboard in a desktop browser, next to the same dashboard on mobile: total CHR, available balance with a Stake CHR button, current stake, delegated provider, APR, and rewards — The redesigned staking dashboard, on desktop and mobile.

01 — Overview

Making staking more accessible

Chromia is a Layer-1 blockchain platform designed to support scalable decentralized applications. Its staking platform lets CHR holders stake tokens, delegate to providers, earn rewards, and manage their assets.

Working with the cross-functional team, I redesigned the existing staking experience — from the first wallet connection through staking to asset management. The goal was a more intuitive, transparent experience that could keep up with the platform's evolving functionality.

02 — The challenge

From a developer-built interface to a user-centered product

The original staking platform worked, but it had been built without a dedicated product design process.

As Chromia's ecosystem expanded, the experience had to support more complex staking operations and make essential information easier to understand. We focused on simplifying the staking journey, improving the information hierarchy, and reducing friction around key interactions.

The original Chromia staking page with a connected wallet: a Staking heading, current network stats, and a My staking panel with address, CHR balance, current stake, withdrawal request, and accumulated reward — The original staking experience.

The redesigned staking dashboard with a connected wallet: total amount of CHR with Bridge CHR, available balance with Stake CHR, current stake, delegated provider with Change provider, APR, and accumulated and upcoming rewards — The redesigned staking experience.

Both shown with a connected wallet. On small screens, the original is cropped to its staking panel and the redesign is shown in its mobile layout.

03 — The redesign

Simplifying the staking experience

Working closely with the product manager and development team, I redesigned the end-to-end staking experience around three areas:

Simplified user journeys

Restructuring staking flows to make essential actions easier to discover and complete.

Clearer information hierarchy

Improving the visibility of balances, staking information, and available actions.

A scalable interface

Creating consistent, responsive designs with clearly defined interface states.

Connect a Wallet dialog over the dashboard, listing installed wallets MetaMask and Phantom, and WalletConnect under Others — Connecting a wallet.

Choose provider step of the stake flow: a breadcrumb from Amount to Provider, a table of providers with commission and APR, Chromaway selected, and a Select provider button — Choosing a staking provider.

The Choose provider step on mobile, with the provider table, commission and APR columns, and a full-width Select provider button — The same step on mobile.

04 — Outcome

+15%Reported growth in staking adoption

Following the launch, the platform recorded a reported 15% increase in staking participation, as part of Chromia's broader product and ecosystem development efforts.

The redesign delivered a clearer staking experience and established a foundation for the platform's continued evolution.

The figure refers to growth in the number of users participating in CHR staking. The baseline and measurement period aren't available, and the increase reflects Chromia's wider product and ecosystem work — not the redesign alone.

More details coming soon

A deeper look into the design process, UX decisions, and end-to-end staking flows will be added soon.
