GAUSS / CRYPTO TRADING BOT

The GAUSS Web3 application, site and branding was a very unique and challenging project. It included designing a Dapp (Decentralized Application) that allowed for the automated trading of specialized crypto currencies. But it was not just a traditional trading experience, the main bot itself was operated from within telegram where degen traders could copy-trade meme coins, perform sniping functions, and even trade tokens that included buy and sell taxes. Since the main functionality was contained within Telegram this provided an interesting challenge for me, one that involved creating an application to handle and update things that were not intuitive within telegram. Those things included updating copy-trading lists, setting specialized and highly technical filters and visual dashboards to make things clear and understandable. One of the biggest challenges was working with young founder that was very development oriented and needed help navigating the intersection of crypto and design.

Landing Page & Brand Rationale

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician, astronomer, geodesist, and physicist who contributed to many fields in mathematics and science. Due to the technical and highly advanced mathematics that were used to create this revolutionary piece of technology I chose to fuse the founders vision of Carl Gauss with an aesthetic that celebrated the Cypher Punk era that birthed blockchain technology from the very start. Along with this visual nod to the roots of our amazing industry, I also sought to reimagine the degen aesthetic which seemed to be stuck in a whirlwind of Matt Fury based meme coins and deliberately juvenile design.

Dashboard and Balance Page

The goal with the dashboard and balance page was simple, yep, you guessed it. Keep it simple. The Dashboard was meant to show you all of your active balances and positions and serve as a quick way to launch the telegram bot and start trading.

Discover Wallets

In order to build effective trading strategies users needed the ability to find, analyze expert traders. In the world of DEFI where identities are masked the only way to do so is by analyzing their wallets. This solution allowed users to search, filter and explore a wide range of data and customize their consumption of that data. Multiple rounds of user testing were conducted to establish what that criteria should be.

Mirror Lists

Once a user had identified wallets and trading strategies that they felt comfortable emulating they then had the ability to compile them and add them to their "Mirror List" these lists were used to copy-trade based on the wallets and criteria they had identified. These settings could then be deployed and updated within the telegram trading bot could be passed through using a special authentication key to reset the previous settings.

Gauss Academy / Learning Center

As with anything in the Web3, crypto and blockchain space, learning is an imperative part of the journey this page simply served as a way to educate users on the various and highly complex tools available to Gauss users.

Below you can take a sneak peak into the figma file. Remember this was a project that I only had a few weeks to ramp up into a deployable product therefor I did not create a full design system, only the necessary screens and artifacts to get the site to development.
