A human-first crypto UX
This is a better fucking crypto website.
And it actually works.
Seriously. What the fuck else do you want?
You have seen crypto websites.
They all look the same.
Dark gradients, glowing charts, buzzwords stacked like dogshit Jenga, and a giant CONNECT WALLET button screaming at users like it is a ransom note.
You think you are building the future of finance. What you are actually building is a hostile onboarding funnel that scares normal humans away in 3 seconds flat.
So let me show you a better fucking crypto website.
Beginner friendly login
Connect like a normal person.
This button uses Privy. Pick Google, Apple, or email. If you want a wallet, we create one quietly. No signature theater on day one.
Email, Google, Apple, or a wallet. We create one for you if you do not have one.
First rule: do not treat users like cryptography PhDs
"Wow, I cannot wait to sign an opaque message with my private key today."
And yet here you are.
- Connect Wallet
- Sign Message
- Approve Transaction
- Switch Network
- Insufficient Gas
- Something went wrong
Congrats. You lost them.
Authentication should not feel like a bank robbery
Let us talk about login.
Your current flow:
- Click connect wallet
- Choose MetaMask
- Popup appears
- User panics
- Why do you need access to all my accounts?
- User closes tab
Perfect conversion funnel, asshole.
A better fucking crypto website does this instead:
- Login with Google
- Login with Apple
- Login with Email
- Wallet is optional
- Wallet is abstracted
- Wallet comes later, when it actually matters
No signatures.
No scary popups.
No "sign to prove you own this wallet" bullshit.
If you must use a wallet:
- use embedded wallets
- use session keys
- use delegated auth
- use sane defaults
Not everyone wants to cosplay as a cryptographer.
Connect wallet is not a feature
It is a tax. A lazy one.
You slapped a wallet connect modal on the page and called it a day. You did not design anything. You outsourced UX to a popup.
How about you build a site that:
- explains what happens after login
- lets users explore before committing
- shows real data without permission
- delays friction until value is obvious
Crazy idea: earn trust before demanding it.
No fucking dashboards full of lies
Every crypto site has:
- TVL nobody understands
- APY up to 10,000%*
- charts with no context
- numbers rounded until they are fiction
How about you build a site that: shows:
- plain numbers
- real outcomes
- clear risks
- boring honesty
If your product only looks good with animations, gradients, buzzwords, or footnotes hiding reality, your product sucks.
Gas fees are your problem, not the user's
Users do not care about:
- gas
- chains
- rollups
- bridges
- L2 vs L3 vs whatever-the-fuck
They care about:
- Did it work?
- How much did it cost?
- Can I undo this?
A better crypto website:
- abstracts gas
- uses relayers
- eats fees when possible
- shows final cost, not math homework
Stop making users debug your infrastructure choices.
Security without paranoia theater
You think security means:
- more popups
- more warnings
- more confirmations
- more fear
It does not.
Real security is:
- sane defaults
- limited permissions
- revocable access
- transparent actions
- no surprise signatures
If a user does not understand what they are signing, you already fucked up.
Crypto does not need to look like a spaceship
Black background. Neon gradients. Charts everywhere. Random motion for no reason.
Why does your swap page look like a nightclub flyer?
How about you build a site that:
- uses readable text
- has contrast that does not burn retinas
- works in daylight
- works on shitty screens
- works when animations are off
Finance should look boring. Boring is trustworthy.
Stop fetishizing decentralization
Users do not care how decentralized you are. They care if it works.
Nobody says, "This app failed, but at least it was censorship-resistant."
They just leave.
How about you build a site that:
- is pragmatic
- uses centralization where it helps
- decentralization where it matters
- does not turn ideology into UX tax
Education without condescension
No:
- What is a wallet?
- What is gas?
- What is a blockchain?
That shit belongs in docs, not the main flow.
Here, explanations:
- appear when needed
- are one sentence long
- use human language
- do not assume stupidity
- do not assume expertise
Teach by doing, not by lecturing.
How about you build a site that: respects the user's time
- no forced wallet connect
- no forced sign message
- no forced Discord join
- no forced roadmap
You can:
- explore
- click
- read
- leave
- come back
Without being harassed.
This is still fucking satire, you idiot
Nobody is saying:
- never use wallets
- never use crypto
- never use signatures
We are saying: stop making crypto harder than it needs to be.
Crypto is not broken. You are just building it like an asshole.
The bar is low. Please step over it.
A better crypto website:
- feels normal
- behaves predictably
- hides complexity
- respects users
- earns trust
You do not need:
- a rebrand
- a new chain
- a new token
- a 40-page whitepaper
You need to stop treating users like enemies.
Final thought
If your crypto app:
- cannot be used without MetaMask
- scares people with popups
- explains itself with jargon
- hides costs until the end
It is not early. It is just bad.
Build crypto like you actually want people to use it.
This is a better fucking crypto website.
