Solution
We designed DoxDom, a decentralized wallet-to-wallet messaging platform that combines secure communication with blockchain identity. The platform delivers a desktop-first web experience with a complementary mobile version, ensuring usability across devices. The design bridges the gap between mainstream messaging familiarity and Web3-specific requirements, creating a seamless and trust-driven interface for peer-to-peer communication.
Overview
As the UX/UI Designer, I was responsible for designing the entire DoxDom platform from the ground up. My focus was on shaping an experience that feels as intuitive as everyday messengers, while introducing new concepts such as wallet authentication, peer verification, and decentralized document exchange. The result is a product that redefines digital identity in communication without overwhelming non-technical users.
Goal
The project aimed to:
Build a secure, decentralized communication tool for Web3 users
Replace traditional logins (email/phone) with wallet-based authentication
Ensure privacy and peer-to-peer trust through verification and encryption flows
Deliver an experience that feels familiar, approachable, and scalable across desktop and mobile
Problem
Traditional messengers rely on centralized servers and phone/email-based identities, which don’t align with Web3 principles of decentralization and privacy. The challenge was to design a platform where crypto wallets are the core identity layer—a concept unfamiliar to most users. The interface had to balance technical blockchain behaviors with intuitive communication patterns, making advanced security features accessible to all.
Process
Research & Problem Definition
We explored the needs of early Web3 adopters and compared them to mainstream messenger expectations. The key finding: users demanded control and security, but not at the cost of usability. The design had to normalize wallet-based identity and encryption without introducing friction.
Competitive Analysis
We studied existing Web3 messengers and decentralized platforms. Many were too technical, focusing on blockchain mechanics rather than user experience. This gap revealed an opportunity to bring Web2-level usability to a Web3 product.
Design Approach
The design combined familiar UX patterns from mainstream messengers with decentralized identity requirements.
Wallet-based authentication flows designed to feel effortless and secure
Clear chat layouts with intuitive navigation, overlays, and message states
Verification layers for peer trust and document authenticity
Encryption and privacy integrated seamlessly into the interaction flow
Scalable design system adapted for both desktop and mobile, ensuring consistency
Emphasis on clarity and accessibility to reduce complexity for non-technical users
Reflection
DoxDom demonstrates how decentralized communication can be both secure and user-friendly. By blending Web3 identity with familiar messaging experiences, the platform creates a bridge for broader adoption of decentralized tools. For me, this project highlighted the importance of designing for trust and accessibility - showing that even complex blockchain behaviors can feel natural when presented with the right UX patterns.
