Venn Network

OVERVIEW

Venn is a decentralized cybersecurity solution created by Ironblocks, that protects blockchain applications and protocols from malicious transactions and economic risks.

ROLE

UX UI solo designer, creative lead

Frame 1010108964.png

Goal

Create an explorer that will provide critical transaction information that are Venn-specific relevant to security, and selected data points to different personas.

Achieving market adoption in a competitive landscape, accumulating trust in an environment where security is paramount, and overcoming technical hurdles in integrating with various blockchain protocols.

Challenge

KPI'S

01

User Engagement & Retention:

Daily/Weekly/Monthly Users interacting with the explorer.

Session Duration (Aim: 10% increase MoM).

02

Features Engagement:

Which features and tool types are used most.

03

Transactions Frequency:

How often do users test different transaction types.

04

Conversion Actions:

Do users proceed to the Documentation...

My Proccess

As a solo designer, I needed to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the explorer, that aligns with the needs of different user personas, each with distinct requirements and workflows, and aligns with business goals.

Competitor Analysis

Different Projects operate within the blockchain ecosystem, focusing on different niches, such as collaboration, scalability, security, decentralized finance (DeFi), and innovative consensus models. They target the growing demand for enhanced transaction efficiency, decentralization, and ecosystem connectivity.

Key Insights

Due to innovative fields, competitors are emphasizing comprehensive educational resources that not only help understand complex security concepts but also enhance overall user confidence.

User Research

Objective

Understand the needs, pain points, and expectations of users using the Custom Detector feature.

Method

Qualitative research was conducted through interviews with a mix of current platform users, including developers, security experts, and ecosystem partners, via tools like Fireflies, Google Meet, and one-on-one sessions has provided actionable insights:

Questions Asked

01

If a security solution increased transaction fees slightly, what would make it worth the cost?

02

How do you typically integrate new security solutions into your protocol?

03

What has been the most frustrating part of integrating security tools in the past?

04

Would you prefer an automated security system, or one where you can fine-tune settings? Why?

05

Do you see security as something handled entirely by your team, or would you trust an external system with decision-making?

06

What’s your preferred way to troubleshoot security-related issues in your protocol?

DEFINE

Target Audience

The "DeFi Protocol" persona represents decentralized finance platforms of various scales, managing some user bases and transaction volumes. These protocols are focused on user trust, business continuity, and maintaining security.

We need to understand the trade-offs—what level of protection we’re getting versus the cost implications for users.

Information Architecture

Education, exploration and management actions are divided into different areas throughout the ecosystem to create a clear user flow and hierarchy.

Featured User-Flow

The Venn Playground is a core feature of the Venn Testnet Explorer, designed to give protocol developers and community users an interactive experience with Venn’s security framework. By allowing users to experiment with real transactions, the Playground fosters trust in Venn’s capabilities and accelerates integration with DeFi protocols.

Wireframing

Using gamification elements such as earning badges or success messages and a clear progress bar to motivate users to complete all steps, encourages learning and prompts further exploration into the Explorer.

UX Challenges

01

Layout challenge: To prevent accidental skipping, the layout should not remain left-to-right (description on the left, functional space on the right) for consistency, but should be placed underneath to continue the flow without friction.

02

Create seamless Navigation: Ensuring users can intuitively move through Playground steps and substeps.

03

Frictionless wallet connection: If a user is on the wrong chain, instead of just an alert, provide a “Switch Chain” button for a seamless fix.
