Challenge

Derivatives trading is high-stakes and fast-moving. Most on-chain perps DEXs overload users with dense interfaces and hidden frictions. The challenge was to keep pro-level execution tools performant and familiar, while removing unnecessary clutter and surfacing trust signals and personality at every step to increase user engagement.

Results

My work cut order placement time, reduced user mistakes, and drove a 25% increase in activation. Vela's V2 was recognized by traders for its clean execution experience and consistent interface — proving that performance and clarity don't have to compete, even at scale.
