23 yo male, student In crypto space - 0.5 months
Peter Green His needs
Peter owns a small amount of bitcoin, but he doesn’t know much about technicalities or security. He uses the exchanges and wallets his friends or first google result suggested him. He needs to understand how this whole system works. He is not very concerned about his security. He was never hacked or robbed. He thinks his password is strong, but its very likely compromised. He doesn’t use many apps. Just the usual social networks and chat. He wants a sense of stability and control. Wants to use the wallet just as easily as his other apps. Easy registration and wallet setup. Simple UI. Onboarding - explanation of basic functionality. Explanation of basic terms he might not understand. Show him expected / average confirmation time based on his fees. Add animations / illustrations to indicate whats happening inside the system. Tutorial on security.
His pain points Solutions
Doesn’t know how transactions work and what is the wallet. He thinks its just another app connecting to his account. He is scared that he might do something that makes him lose his funds. He doesnt like to see strange technical terms he doesn’t understand. He is nervous when he sends the money but it doesn’t show on the other side for more than a few min- utes. Very complicated registration feds him up. He is used to just register with social acc or just the email. He might want to spend his crypto for something online in the future.

27 yo male, joung professional / small trader In crypto space - 5 months
Andy Smith His needs
Andy was small-to-mid sized portfolio (5-15). He has it all over the place. On the exchange,
security and he is scared to lose his money because he takes it seriously. He doesn’t mind the more strict security measures. He needs multicurrency wallet with best possible security for a mobile wallet. He mostly transfers in and out of the exchanges because he doesn’t trust them. He understands how transactions and transaction fees work and he mostly wants to pay the minimum fees. He wants to check his funds often. He transacts often, but mostly with with 2-3 addresses. Just the exchanges and his PC / HW wallets. Easy to switch between currencies. Best possible security (fingerprint, 2FA, pin / pass) Showing the available balances right after opening of the wallet Ability to change the network fees As many currencies as possible
Solutions His pain points
He has no patience for long loading or constant need to sign in. He is terrified of opening the app and seeing 0 balance. He knows it cant be reversed. It might have happened to him before. He doesn’t want to fill in to many boxes to make a transaction. Mandatory high fees. If he sees the news his wallet has security weakness, he switches to another immediately. It’s hard to find good wallet wit so many supported coins.

28 yo male, developer / freelancer. He invests into crypto time to time In crypto space - 1.5 years
Joe Freeman His needs
He just wants to invest into a few coins. Just the top 3-4. He opens his wallet few times a week to check how prices look. He likes to see the analytics of his portfolio. How it changes over time. He needs simple UI and wants to see all his funds at the same time. Security is a concern for Joe, but he doesn’t want to spend time to investigate how exactly is his wallet dealing with it. He decided based on the online review of crypto wallets. He doesn’t follow the news from crypto space too much, just time to time. Graphs and analytics for his funds Details in transaction history Home screen with all the details he needs.
Solutions His pain points
Similar to Andy’s, but not so severe. He doesn’t like his investments to go under 0 profits. He doesn’t want to pay taxes on his profits. Complicated interface

She needs the wallet to be working on her 3 years old smartphone. Wants to be able to change the UI appearance for her liking. She likes the options. She wants to have her family in contacts to send them money time to time. She doesn’t understand the underlying technology to depth and has no intention of learning it. She just wants it to work.

My process started with exploring UI options of the wallet. I was trying to get the best possible combination of compact size and legible texts. I have spend the most time on transaction history.

Recovery phrase
Write these words in this order (1-12) and secure them. If you lose access to your wallet, you can restore it with this phrase. 1 hostility 2 attack 3 jack 4 knife 5 ballroom 6 decadence 7 blemish 8 lullaby 9 rights 10 closing 11 world 12 decade

Be sure nobody sees your recovery phrase. Don’t share it or send it to anyone. Best way to secure your recovery phrase is write it down on the paper or store it in the password manager. Preferably both.
Warning!
Got it
The registration process should ensure maximum possible security measures. I propose, users should use fingerprint scanner if it is available. If not, we should guide the users to create a strong, multi-word, pass phrase. Before showing user the recovery phrase, he should be educated on how to secure and store his recovery phrase.

I think giving the users an option to change their fees should be implemented together with an estimation of confirmation time. The speed is not always the priority for everyone. Sometimes you want the lowest possible fees.
I propose a minimum of 2 themes for people to choose from. Ideally, Pillar can have more contests for designers to create many interesting styles and themes. People on Twitter seemed to like the dark theme more. Many expressed their desire to be able to switch themes.

Survey showed, having many different coins / tokens, is something users desire. I was exploring the ways, how to show as many different currencies as possible, while maintaining a simple layout. Users should have the ability to customize their UI and dragging their most used coins to the top. By default, coins can be sorted by their fiat value.
Thank you for your consideration.
