challenge.
The crypto wallet landscape is dominated by overly technical onboarding flows that alienate newcomers. Mantis needed an experience that built trust and excitement, especially for users curious about crypto but overwhelmed by its complexity.
reseaerch & approach.
Through competitor audits and user journey mapping, I identified key pain points:
Overuse of technical terms without explanation
Cluttered screen layouts with too many steps
Lack of emotional engagement and visual identity
The design solution:
A 5-screen welcome flow that communicates benefits simply and visually
A consistent brand palette for memorability and trust
Illustrations that inject personality while supporting comprehension
Mantis' brand identity was distilled into:
Color palette: Vibrant pinks, soft mints, and purples contrasted with deep black for legibility
Typography: Bold headline font for confidence, paired with a clean sans-serif for body copy
UI Components: Buttons, forms, and states optimized for touch interaction, with visual hierarchy guiding action
Light/Dark Modes: Ensuring accessibility and user preference flexibility
results.
The final onboarding flow reduced perceived complexity and boosted trust by:
Breaking setup into clear, focused steps with progress cues
Using illustrations to anchor key messages (“Make the scammers cry”)
Providing multiple backup options to match user preferences
Creating a smooth visual narrative from welcome screen to success state
This resulted in a wallet experience that feels playful yet secure, helping demystify crypto for first-time users.
