Step Finance2024–2025

Step Finance is a portfolio dashboard on Solana. My role was to improve existing flows, add new features and expand the design system as the product grew.

A clearer portfolio overview

I helped refine the new dashboard, simplifying navigation and organizing portfolio data around total value, asset breakdown and performance over time. Users could review multiple wallets together.

More context for staking

I expanded the staking flow with strategy options, estimated rewards and position tracking. Explanations alongside the form helped users understand their options before staking.

Easier NFT management

I updated the NFT gallery with multiple views, search, and sorting to make collections easier to browse. Multi-selection and quick actions let users send or burn several NFTs at once.

More useful transaction history

I added a monthly activity chart to give users an overview of incoming and outgoing transactions. Filters, tags and notes helped organize individual records, with an option to download the full history.

Removing a feature that added too much friction

We introduced private accounts so users could sync wallet collections, address book entries, and preferences across devices while keeping their wallet data private.

That privacy came with a usability cost. Users needed another password, and forgetting it meant losing access to their encrypted profile data.

It also created two separate sign-in flows: connecting a wallet to manage assets and signing into Step to access saved preferences. The distinction wasn’t always clear to users.

We removed the account system because syncing preferences didn’t justify another password and a second sign-in flow.
