The client
MintySwap is a US-based digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and non-fungible tokens. The web application allows users to buy, sell, and discover exclusive digital assets as well as upload and create their own NFTs.
Challenge
Our biggest challenge in this Web 3.0 product design case study was studying the NFT environment. So, we’ve consumed gigabytes of educational materials, researched top marketplaces, and explored NFT wallets. Moreover, our team went almost through the whole process of non-fungible token development. In the next stage, we analyzed the market and carried out competitor research within the most popular cryptocurrency marketplaces.
Our solution
Our main goal was to design a trendy web application where users can explore, import, mint NFT, and create their own NFT collections. We aimed to develop a unique solution that would fit the market of non-fungible tokens. Thus, Arounda started with detailed competitors’ research. We registered on various crypto platforms, tested their functionality, and investigated user flows. This way, we collected best practices to reimagine them in a seamless user experience for MintySwap.
The Fresh New Platform to Mint NFTs and Swap Tokens
The client needed a new trendy-looking web application. In this crypto case, we helped with the UI/UX redesign and proposed how to improve functionality. To create a contemporary web application, we started with competitors' research, conducted a UI/UX audit, and proposed our vision of the website and additional features. This is how we proceeded with it.

UX Audit of Web 3.0 product
To optimize the existing MintySwap application, Arounda analyzed the UI/UX and marketplace functionality. We examined how intuitive and human-centered the resource was, tested loading time and onboarding procedure, and looked for technical errors. As a result of the UX audit, we presented a summary of current problems, improvement recommendations and created the wireframes.
Rethinking the UX/UI
Our job was to rethink the UI/UX design of the NFT marketplace and meet the client's need for a trendy, not overloaded, and competitive web solution. Arounda proposed a professional vision of the project and additional features to widen the functionality. For the purpose of simplicity, we offered a lightweight and straightforward design with all the necessary functions.
