Zarela (2021)

Zarela is a decentralized bio-signal platform, that helps scientists and researchers to collect their datasets easier, cheaper, and faster. At the heart of the project is Zarela’s Smart Contract that is written in Solidity programming language and it follows the ERC-20 standard of the Ethereum blockchain. Zarela’s Smart Contract source code is accessible on the Zarela’s Github and available under MIT license.

Process

For me, redesigning the main website was both fun and challenging. Our goal was to come up with a creative, brand new idea. In this project, there were several roles and characters that required different personas. Researchers (Mages) and Contributors (Angels) played the most important roles. Additionally, we wanted to attract developers to join this community by contributing and participating in it. New design of our main website was inspired by brain signals...

Final Design

The outcome of several tests and improvements on the first designs was as follows:

Throughout this project, I've learned a lot about smart contracts and blockchain worlds, and how UX fits into Web3. Creating the Design System from scratch with Light/Dark themes, along with figuring out how to create i18n inside Figma.

I wrote an article about i18n inside Figma that you can find here: Medium Link
